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.

Wednesday, June 4, 2014

Metro-Detroit, Michigan (Global) - On Saturday, June 7th 2014, at 11:00 AM on BlogTalkRadio, and at 12:00 PM on SoundCloud, The Creative Nexus™ launches episode #008 of the Blue Sky Highway™ entitled "Through the Broken Doorway" [fea Buson (translation by Robert Haas)] from episode Producer Michael Ash Sharbaugh. 

You're on the air with the Blue Sky Highway

of the Indie Media Weekly

"Through the Broken Doorway" is this episode's theme for the compilation of tracks in the show. Michael states, "When I set out to compile this eighth episode of the Blue Sky Highway, 'Through the Broken Doorway,' I sought songs and instrumentals that were a bit psychedelic in nature -- a little on the 'trippy' side. Some are classic psychedelica. Some are mystifying. Just as beholding a dilapidated doorway might cause disorientation to one's vision, likewise, these sonic inclusions have the potentialities to bewilder, however much as they enthrall. Hence, 'Through the Broken Doorway.'"
