The Most Awesomest Song of the Day: “Mother’s Hands” by Cornell Kinderknecht!!!

I have started a new feature: The Most Awesomest Song of the Day! 

Here’s a link to the complete list: https://philmaq.com/most-awesomest-songs/

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!

Several years ago when I was the Music Director at WHFR for the first time,  I ran across an e-mail from an artist looking for an outlet for his music.

As Music Director, I would say I received hundreds of e-mails every day. Most of them were from promoters. But the ones I liked, and paid attention to the most, were from artists reaching out to have me listen to their music without telling me how many stations were playing it, so the station should be playing it, too.

Cornell Kinderknecht was one of those artists.

I was putting a playlist together for my annual “Suitest Day Show,” and Cornell was offering an impressive instrumental called, “Helicoid: A Suite for Mankind.”

As the cliche says, “Timing Is Everything,” and I played it on my show.

It got quite a response, too!

Since then, Cornell‘s kept me up to date on his musical pieces, and I have played his songs on many of my shows. He is a multiple Philby Award Winner!

There is one song of his that I always play on my “Mother’s Day Show”: “Mother’s Hands,” a Kinderknecht composition from his “Nightfall” album!

It features Cornell on bansuri flute with piano accompaniment.

Even though the song is a tribute to his own mother, the meditative instrumental allows every listener the space to think about their own mother, and those loving hands that guided them in their formative years, and may still be guiding them today-even from afar.

That’s just beautiful!

So Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers, and anyone else who live their daily life in the role of a mother–even if you are a mother to a pet!

The Most Awesomest Song of the Day is “Mother’s Hands” by Cornell Kinderknecht!!!
