July 29 2008: Final Playlist for "Stumbling Upon Moksha" show on CKMS FM:

Today marks the last show for "Stumbling Upon Moksha". I want to thank everyone who tuned in and reached out, in one way or another, to connect with me about the program. I had a blast.

I expect to keep this blog going somehow. I might even throw together playlists, maybe the odd three song set along with some kind of written spew to defend why I think they deserve a deliberate listen. Who knows?

But for now, I just want to thank CKMS for training me to use the equipment and trusting me to open the station and flip on the switch for the transmitter and logger. I still got a rush even after 68 shows! I also want to thank my regular listeners. If you find yourself reading this and aren't already friend or family, PLEASE drop me a line. Even imagining that you were listening kept me inspired.

And last, but not least, thanks to all the music makers, those brave and generous souls who give so much of themselves, over and over again. Special thanks to all who contacted me personally. I mean it was a COMPLETE thrill to get emails from you guys! I suppose I have to thank Google for feeding the blog so successfully out into the ether. You just never know who is listening or who may accidentally land on this blog. I suppose that's reason enough to keep things going.

Be real, choose true, and give everything you've got!

Oliver Schroer, dies on July 3 2008.

Here's a link to a CBC article. http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/blog/2008/07/04/oliver_schroer_he_bu_1.html

But I'll post an extract from Oliver himself.

"Don't look at what you don't have," he wrote. "Make sure your glass is half full, not half empty. This is a stance you take in life. It is not a random attitude. But with just a little bit of practice, that becomes an attitude you can easily stick to. Lets put it this way. If I can think like this in my present position, I would hope that you all can do the same. I would even ask you to do this for me. Take that stance in life for me and from me, and concentrate always on the positive."

Thanks Oliver, for giving so much, for "being real and choosing true", over and over again.
