PGM 187R : "GRATITUDE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : appreciating the feeling of gratitude
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-25-05
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: This week it's the Thanksgiving holiday -- the perfect time
to explore the feeling of gratitude. The Taoist masters teach us
that autumn is the time to reflect upon life. If we've enjoyed a
good harvest or a successful year, we express our thanks. If the
year's been difficult, then we're thankful for what we have and
resolve to do better in the future. Yet the true appreciation of
life doesn't require wealth or plenty, if we acknowledge the
precious quality of everyday things. It requires only...GRATITUDE.

PGM 748 : "CELTIC TWILIGHT 3"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a wistful journey in the modern Celtic soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-18-05
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The signature sound of the wirestrung harp, the signature
lilt of a Celtic dance: a signal that joy, beauty, and wistful sadness --
the panorama of human emotion -- will stretch our feelings.

As always the musicianship is extraordinary; there must be more musical
and vocal talent per square mile in the Celtic regions than almost anywhere.
It's a genre that's met and mastered the test of time, combining past and
present, tradition and creativity, and reinventing itself for every generation.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, another journey in the Celtic
soundscape called CELTIC TWILIGHT 3.

PGM 747 : "NOVEMBER TONES"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a cello-centric journey for autumn
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-11-05
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In the multi-hued autumn twilight, the rich, coppery tones
of the cello resonate naturally with the changing tones of the landscape.
Perhaps no western instrument has the musical and emotional range and
depth; from its foundational role in the orchestra and the string quartet,
to its uncanny vocal emulations and contemplative solo flights...
the cello seems to know no boundaries.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a cello-centric journey with
piano, strings, and a touch of electric guitar, on a program called
NOVEMBER TONES.

PGM 746 : "SHAPESHIFTER"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a dark ambient quest for a storm-tossed Scorpio night
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-04-05
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: A stormy night in Scorpio brings it's own little shop of
horrors -- we're in the time when Celtic and Pagan tradition say
the dark spirits are closer to earth. Can you prove otherwise?

Appearances deceive...things are not what they seem...and we're
obliged to measure our fears. On this transmission of Hearts of
Space, we brave the storm...and quest into the dark forest
on a program called SHAPESHIFTER.
