Pagan Music on the Radio? When Pigs Fly!

THIS IS WHERE THE PIGS ARE FLYING

Murphy's Magic Mess

Hi I'm Murf. I do a pagan radio, music, interviews and fun, show on KZUM Community Radio in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Mess, as we call it, is on every Sunday from 10am to noon. I have been doing the show since 1994, before that it was called the Spiral Dance. The Dance started in 1988 putting good pagan/Goddess music out on Lincoln's airwaves. I am also guilty of tossing filk and foolishness into the shows mix. We try to have fun. The WE, I speak of, is my co-host Diz,(He has an offbeat sence of humor). Well, so do I for that matter;-)But his is off-er than mine.

This page is devoted to showing my playlist for the week, mention of favorite CD's, new music we recieve and most anything about music I can think of to add. With a few comments now and then about the music and stories.

WELCOME
Where I get My music
