I look forward to it BUT Paul don't just do the traditional 60 year old bands that play in the 60 year old style. There's lots of great music out there and just about none of it is the safe and established and washed out electric guitars bass and drums. Your show is known for being eclectic – I hope that continues and we aren't stuck with trendy twenty somethings and their endless clone bands.
Here's 100 Plus of the world's finest that most have never heard for consideration -

Greatness!
Later – I've heard the first podcast and I thought you did a good job.
I like the idea of promoting the best music around here. It is certainly hard for local musicians to get a fair hearing, and this may be one of the best opportunities. Nice production.
Paul, great job! Exceptional! On Promenade is a wonderful CD, the podcast however is really about The Shawl, which is his latest CD, based on the Psalms.
this is an extraordinary feature.
I love the fact you referred to the bird songs after the last track. It sounds like a Cardinal.
Great question about the violent nature of some of the lyrics! what a Thoughtful interview.
Thanks Billh for pointing out the mistake. We've corrected it. (That was a goof on Art&Seek's part, not Paul's.) Glad you liked the podcast. Check back every other Monday for more.
Great work, Paul! Love this!
THANK YOU for doing this interview! Doug's music is pure magic.
GO DOUG!
Great job. Doug's music is amazing and I appreciate you recognizing it.
This is pure-dee genius. Keep 'em comin'!!!
Paul's choice of Doug as his first subject is fitting, since Doug's arguably the most focused singer-songwriter in town right now. Lookin' foward to more of the series!
Great idea Paul. And great execution…the interview and production. Shine forth!
Love this idea. Loved the execution as well — very well-produced. I have meant to check out Art and Seek for months now, but never seemed to find the time. Hearing that this podcast was available led me to check out artandseek.org for the first time. Can't wait to hear the next edition. Keep up the good work!
Thoughtful interview. So glad you are highlighting our gifted local artists. Just heard Doug at a local venue and am inspired.
Great interview – thanks so much for all of the info, it will make listening to the album that much more enjoyable. Hoping to see Doug Burr come to Santa Barbara, CA to play soon! We have great venues here…
