Blue Sky Highway™ [episode 010] "Calliope's Tears" - Update

Blue Highway © Frank Webster

Saturday, September 13, 2014

Metro-Detroit, Michigan (Global) - The latest episode of The Blue Sky Highway™, Calliope's Tears [Ep #010], from Michael Ash Sharbaugh, aired Sunday, September 7th, and is the Tenth episode in the Blue Sky Highway™ series.

Interestingly, from a mythological perspective, Calliope was one of the nine Muses in Greek mythology, and is also known as the Muse of epic poetry. Numerologically, the number 10, or decad, represents a completed cycle, and the starting point of a new one. 

Osho Zen Tarot - X - Change

It also indicates a transition to a new phase or plane of existence. In the Tarot, 10 represents The Wheel, which is also known as Arcanum X, and is representative of the Wheel of Destiny. It seems to me quite fitting this episode takes on the Numerological and Tarotic aspects of the number 10.

Calliope's Tears may be listened to on BlogTalkRadio, and SoundCloud, and may be accessed through the links that follow.

Blue Sky Highway™ [episode 006] "The Imperfect Nest" News!

Sunday, April 6, 2014

Metro-Detroit, Michigan (Global) - The Blue Sky Highway™ (BSH) is pleased to announce that Episode #006 The Imperfect Nest, which aired on Saturday, April 5, with an 8:30 A.M., live pre-show, was received very well by listeners.

Producers/hosts Roger Allen Baut and Michael Ash Sharbaugh opened the show and brought some interesting thoughts, insights, and shout-outs to give the episode a brilliant send-off.

Michael Ash Sharbaugh's episode was brilliantly composed as he created a compilation that brought music, vocals, and spoken word into an exquisite tapestry of sound.

[Baut Images: The Imperfect Nest]

The Imperfect Nest is this episode's theme for the compilation of tracks in the show. Inspiration for this title: a nest keeps one warm and cozy on the inside--its function: on the outside, however, it has jagged edges and sticks protruding every which way--an appearance which belies its function. All of the pieces in this broadcast have the capacity to comfort and to invoke contemplation, despite some of their 'baroque' outward 'appearances'.

If you haven't listened to this episode, please take a few moments to click on the link:

♦ Headphones are recommended for full and in-depth aural encounter, as well as contemplative experience.
