In this edition a lot of our sections are trying to look back at things we've done in the past and returning to those while moving on. Some examples are the intro song and transitions which are from a very old song of Joel's, but we have changed them a bit.

In this edition of Musings of the Living, we experiment with pitch, hence the title. We include an opening song, which is based simply on the dial tone of a phone. We also have our second original song that we've recorded and after that Joel reflects on his photography. To finish it all off, we do our musical spotlight on Neil Young and then let you exit our world with a remix of a grade 10 applied mathematics class.

This edition is shorter than the rest, mainly due to an absense of Joel's writing and a comdedy section. It's focus is on the beauty of small town and rural life. You will get a glimpse of Canada by listening to the emerging new band The Sword Swollowers (name in continual process of change) first song, The Rockies.
You'll then get a taste of Erik's knack for storytelling as he completes the story that he started last edition. The m...

Heroes on the Radio focuses on the quirkiness of an everyday life in which everyone can and is a hero in some odd way. We open up with a quirky song that uses everyday sounds to establish a beat. Going back to the idea of responses a quick dialogue on the song follows. A new serial story begins after this, read by Erik this time. Then we've got a one time interview with a local cat-saving hero: Jo-bob.

This edition contains a multitude of absolutely great songs (Potatoes and Cheese is a must listen). Joel Penner then reads a heartfelt opinion on his favourite band, The Beatles. A discussion with Erik Berg and Joel Penner then follows, on The Beatles which starts off our regular section on music. Then there is a uniquely odd calling-in feature where our many fans ask questions they've had about Musings of the Living.

This episode starts off with the brilliantly titled song, Grass, while Miles makes his debut and gives a very intelligent, almost professional response.
