One of Iowa's true musical gems is Iowa City's mellow guitar master, Bo Ramsey (photo), who played last weekend with Pieta Brown at Paradiso Cafe. All who attended drifted home on a sea of bliss produced by this fine duo. In this week's Fringe Toast program, you will hear some of DJ Andy Bargerstock's favorite selections from the combined work of Pieta and Bo... some of which were not heard last Saturday such as their new recording of the track "Even When" now available on the CD, Flight Time.

Seattle's Green Pajamas launch the show with two tracks from their "Box of Secrets" CD. Notice the flavors of Tom Petty and later-stage Beatles. By popular request you will hear again from the UK group Porcupine Tree and the electronica teams, Patchwork and The New Deal. Sprinkled thoroughout the evening, ladies will delight us with soulful melodies and soaring harmonies. Among them will be Danish songwriter, Tina Dico (former lead with Zero 7), Bird York, Imogen Heap, Dory Previn, Margo Timmins with Cowboy Junkies, and Allison Kraus teaming with Robert Plant.

From the extreme fringe, you'll delight to the obscure French acoustic guitarist, Michel Moulinie, with a track from his very rare early '80s LP, "Chrysalide" .... fortunately discovered by DJ Andy during a daylong dig through an Asheville, NC vinyl shop. Indeed, there will be other treats for your ears as your endorphin levels rise throughout the evening. Brew the tea and lower the lights. The Fringe Toast Meister is coming with his magical musical tour.
