“Musical DNA” segment from NPR Radio Lab program Which came first: Language or Music? We’re still not sure, but now we’ll ponder what comes next. Producer Jonathan Mitchell brings us a piece about David Cope, the composer and professor at UC Santa Cruz, who cured his artist’s block by writing a computer program to do the dirtywork for him. His program, named EMI (Experiments in Musical Intelligence), deconstructs the works of great composers, finding patterns within the voice leading of their compositions, and then creates brand new compositions based on the patterns she finds. But it’s not just copy and paste. She brings something new to the pieces. Drift along to the eerily enchanting music of EMI Mahler and ask yourself this: What would Mahler think of an EMI Mahler score? Brillant music? A forgery? ~ WNYC RadioLab (www.wnyc.org If you’d like to hear any more compositions by David Cope’s computer EMI (and there are hundreds!) visit you can visit his website artsites.ucsc.edu and there you will find EMI Bach, EMI Chopin, EMI Scott Joplin, EMI Mahler and even EMI Navajo music!

Heather Mills, the 39-year old controversial contestant on Dancing with the Stars season four shed tears – tears of joy that is on KIIS FM, a radio program hosted by Ryan Seacrest.

Even though Mills’ inclusion on Dancing with the Stars has stirred numerous controversies whether about her hazy participation on the celebrity dance show, her quitting the competition or the surfacing of online bets regarding the possibility of her prosthetic leg flying off while performing dance routines, nothing tops the charts like her bitter divorce with former husband Paul McCartney.

Because of this, the radio program mostly focused in the various prejudiced opinions people have formed to believe about Mills since her announced separation with McCartney, and how her detractors have now positively changed their perception of Mills. Is this the “healing effect” of Dancing with Stars? Maybe it is…

Since her inclusion on Dancing with the Stars, more and more people are having a different opinion about Mills. Some even claim that they now see Mills for the real person that she really is and not some “gold digger”

almost everyone perceives her to be. As attested by one of her detractor turned supporter, Mills actually ought to have a collective apology from the biased public. There have been so many negative remarks that surfaced the news and made her reputation very unpleasant and for that many of her critics are embarrassed over their being gullible and being easily susceptible to rumors.

Upon learning that people are now having a better insight and understanding about her, Mills wept while simultaneously expressing her delight and relief. The emotional Mills even explained that she has devoted almost all her life doing charity works and is very saddened with some people’s judgment about her being an exploitative woman and a gold digger.

My arrangement of “Old Trails”…..the Gunsmoke radio theme song, and later TV theme. It was also known as “Boothill.” The theme was written by Rex Koury & Glenn Spencer. The original radio version was conducted by Rex Koury. My version is based on the radio program’s ending theme song. The radio series first aired on April 26, 1952 (“Billy the Kid,” written by Walter Newman) and ran until June 18, 1961 on CBS. It starred William Conrad as Marshal Matt Dillon; Howard McNear as Doc Charles Adams; Georgia Ellis as Kitty Russell; and Parley Baer as Dillon’s assistant Chester Proudfoot. Here’s a link to a great site that has a lot of old radio programs…including the “Gunsmoke” radio programs. It’s a free site… www.radiolovers.com or if you’d just like to go directly to the Gunsmoke shows click here… www.radiolovers.com Some of us still remember sitting around listening to some great radio programs before television came along! Although the Gunsmoke radio show started after television became a reality…it was still a very popular show! “Theater of the mind!” The photos are of ghost towns in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, and Montana. I hope that you enjoy my arrangement of the Gunsmoke theme song! Please feel free to comment, and to “PLEASE RATE” the video…”THANKS!”
