I have started a new feature: The Most Awesomest Song of the Day!
I want to emphasize mostly, relatively newer music, just like on my Monday night show, “Prime Time Theme Attic.” (Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET when it returns.)
Here’s the link for when that day comes: http://rdo.fm/r/4qntu )
But I can promise this: I will not force my selections. If something doesn’t hit me, I won’t post one.
Everything I do has always been about shining a spotlight on the artist and their music.
Now I will have the potential to shine 365 more spotlights if I want to!

I think Heather Pierson is one of the greatest musicians I have ever seen in my life!
How’s that for an opening statement?
She plays tenor banjo, guitar, and keyboards, and she plays those so well, that you might forget about her other instrument–her voice!
Heather has just released a brand new album entitled “Be Here Now: Songs Inspired By and Offered for Meditation.”
And while she is incredibly gifted on the instruments in her repertoire, she actually leaves those behind for this album, and uses only her voice.
What???!!!
Well, Heather likes to create and perform music in various styles. She also likes to investigate what a layered single voice can do!
Miscellaneous but tasteful percussion are the only other sounds on “Be Here Now.”
In these unusual times where everything seems like a Science Fiction movie, Heather Pierson has delivered an album to the world that can calm the soul and relieve anxiety–if only for a little while.
I would recommend listening to the album in short sections, or a song a day for meditating. The songs themselves are melodic and take on their own personalities.
Some even sound like church hymns!
And when a voice is the only instrument you’re listening to, you realize just how beautiful hers is!
I am calmly announcing that The Most Awesomest Song of the Day is “The River of Thought” by Heather Pierson!!!
