The Anchor
ARTIST'S PHOTOGRAPH provided and authorized by Ashley E. Norton and Edward A. Williams aka WHITHERWARD now can be seen on their IMP artist's page. Photo by Lulu Grace Photography. "THE ANCHOR" IS NOW BEING PLAYED IN THE KAYAK BIG 25! Hi Ashley and Edward! I am listening to "The Anchor" as we speak! The best time for me to write a blurb about a song is as I first listen to it when the rush of emotion is brand new! So glad I "ran into you" in Itso's FB thread tonight. I am so happy I get to redeem myself and have the privilege of seeing and hearing Whitherward "Live in Omaha" on Wednesday September 27, 2017 at the hotel and for the big gig at the tavern the next evening! I thought I had totally blown my chance to do so when I missed you here last spring and this really gives me something to look forward to! I LOVE that YOU LOVE OMAHA!!! I have been cajoling the MonaLisa Twins to come here when they finally get to tour America. Now I have an awesome fellow indie artist to recommend our groovy city to them. As far as your song goes, I love the first hearing of it; the lyrics, the melody, the harmonies and instrumentation, your sweet voice Ashley, Edward's manly baritone voice; everything about it! Two thumbs and two big toes up! I am so EXCITED I get to meet you in September and will begin to work on a guest list of about two dozen of my closest friends and family to bring with me to your gig. "Welcome Back to Omaha Husker Hugs" will be the order of the day! By the way, Ashley, whither you come as a blonde or a brunette. either way is great! Tell Edward the same goes for him, lol!

Music Monster
Ashley and Edward! Thank you for two of the MOST AWESOME back-to-back nights of my life!!! Can't wait to see you again in Spring of 2018! You’ll have more time; we’ll resume our rhyme. Your Music Monster for you has the time. (New station photo taken by Paul, the RL Hotel bartender, with Ashley's camera.) Sing along with MUSIC MONSTER: "I hear the trouble; the damage is done. There in the distance, the beat of the drums. They say a broken heart unleashes the beast. You better watch out when the guitars release. I’ve got a song about it. This band of heartbreak. You’ve got a record and it’s playing straight to my face. We could’ve had a rhythm. But you are out of time. If I can’t get you let the music monster make you mine. The music monster creeps through the night. Playing it’s heart out and wanting your life. You did me dirty look what I’ve turned into. Close your eyes when it’s coming for you. (Chorus) Deep in the basement just out of sight. I summon the monster and begin to write. I’ve never been good at revenge. I don’t have much but I’ve got a pen." (Chorus)

Teeth
Ashley, Ashley! Edward, Edward! I saw your video of TEETH when it came out and totally forgot it was on your IMP artist page; yikes! This is another one of your incredible songs from your new album "The Anchor." I just read the spotlight interview with Scott that the two of you did and learned a lot. Now I won't have to ask you all the same questions when you come to Omaha in just 5 weeks. Now we can pick some topics we can sink our TEETH into! 5 weeks from right now I'll see and hear you at the Harney Street Tavern and meet you at your hotel gig the night before. I need to figure out the digital camera that someone gave my wife a couple years ago. Remember that I said that my dad was a dentist? As a result, I an also a TEETH man and have been sinking my bicuspids, incisors, and canines into all 5 of your albums this week. Expect me to be singing along with you (well, from my place offstage, that is, lol)! I read that you and Ed like that!!! By the way Ash, since your gig ends at midnight, I'd really like to hear you howl at the Omaha moon right afterwards. THAT would be BETTER than the total eclipse!!!

The Dragon
Ashley; I think that subconsciously your video of this song is why I missed your last concert in Omaha. You scared me; especially with that rolling pin in your hand; yikes! Nonetheless, I don't think it was meant for me and you have since assured me that you are a good dragon. Lest I forget to say so in these blurbs, Edward is an incredible musician / guitarist! Where Edward, did you get that little hand-held baby keyboard? I want one too. Will you use it in your concert in Omaha in September? I am really grooving to Whitherward!

Hand Of Fate
Hey Edward and Ashley; my bad, my real, real bad. Finally one of you groovy indie bands came to my hometown of Omaha (one of the nation's leading indie music scenes) and I dropped the ball and spaced off coming to see you. I wasn't paying proper attention and by the time Itso reminded me, it was the day of, and it was too late to be spontaneous on my part. Sorry! Was I afraid they would not let me into the young people's venue? Was I afraid of you Ashley after watching The Dragon? Will it make it up to you if I add some more Whitherward tunes in my next addition session? Nonetheless I like you well enough for you to be here, right? BTW, really groovy music video in the style of classic MTV/VH1!

Sleeping With A Stranger
Ashely and Edward! This is my 102rd song in my 100 song station. I was going to hold it to 100 songs for now, but look at what happened! Should I blame you, or should I blame Itso for introducing us? I cannot decide, so I'll just blame myself. I want to be thoroughly familiar with your songs when we meet 81 days from now in Omaha. And so, you do not have to explain the name for the gentle reader I will do so: Whitherward: "Middle English word dating back to 1150-1200. adverb, Archaic - toward what place; in what direction." As you told me; what a great name for a traveling duo!

The Night I Fell For You
Pretty ballad is song 103 of 103! Love the addition of the violin and the bass. Wonderful harmonies with Edward and the lady guitarist. I am a guy who pays close attention to lyrics and the message of a song. Glad the night of falling was also the worst night, as I am all about loyalty and marital fidelity. (See many of my blurbs.) How did you film much of this singing from a moving motorbike? People should watch the video; the outtakes at the end cracked me up; LOL! Very nice ballad, Whitherward! You have a very nice body of work methinks.

Richard Scotti
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU
FEATURED MALE ARTIST - Now #1 in CLASSIC AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK! Now tied for my #3 All-Time Romantic Love Song. Play this amongst any 10 Beatles' songs from 1963 to 1965. Wake up Rip Van Winkle and have him listen intently to all 11 songs. I'll bet anything he can't distinguish the Lennon/McCartney songs from the Scotti song. That is one of the highest sincere compliments I have given in this station. By the way Richard, I love the photo used with this song; it is PERFECT! As a hopeless romantic my heart still swells madly in love with my bride of 35 years. I LOVE EVERTHING ABOUT "EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!" If I was to rank every song here, this would be in my TOP 1O, maybe even TOP 5! Could this be a lost track from "Rubber Soul?"

WATER FROM A STONE
Guess what? Yup; another former #1 in Classic Rock! OMG Richard! The very first 3 or 4 chords of this are totally reminiscent of classic works of the early 70's! Water From A Stone sounds like water from THE ROLLING STONES from the Sticky Fingers / Exile on Main Street era! This blows my mind! I will soon send this station nationwide and south to 3 Latin American countries. The Stones are my All-Time #7 Band, but they are #1 for my brother. As soon as I send this station to him I will tell him to listen to this song first! On to #100, but not in ranking, just in current sequence of adding.

(With the exception of the MonaLisa Twins, this is possibly my favorite song of my first 100 on this station!) I am an amateur pianist, and I can think of no better role model for an up-and-coming artist than you. I will do anything for my wife too; as my wife = my life! Thank you, sir! THANK YOU!!! By the way David, the piano throughout is reminiscent of John's Lennon's "Imagine." Maybe that is subconsciously why I love this so much!

I was born in '50, a teen in the 60's, and a young adult in the 70's, so of course I grew up with and loved MOTOWN too! I'd love to see a video of you guys doing the choreography of the Temptations or the Four Tops to this song! :-)

You mentioned Neil Young and ELO and that was all I needed to add this song before even listening. Of course, grooving to this just reinforced the decision to do so! You said; "A song about innocence, and innocence lost, confusion, idealism, hope, friendship, nostalgia, drugs, dreams, and whatever you want it to be about." This could be a lost track from Young's "After the Gold Rush" and a commentary on my life as well, David.

Wow! My JAZZ HIGH continues and is gaining momentum! After taking my honey (who just happens to be my wife of 35 years) on a date to La La Land, I rushed to buy the soundtrack, the Blu-Ray, and two copies of all the piano sheet music (one for me and one for an awesome female pianist friend). Prior to that I bought Norah Jones' new "Day Breaks." I might petition Scott to add "Jazz" as my 4th station category soon. More to come on the next blurb!

Wild
I finally 'borrowed' from my buddy "Itso's Earworms" station. This is his latest acquisition, and I am compelled to place it very high on my list because of the significance. For the first time I must also 'borrow' from the artist's station for my comments: "Born in Soviet Georgia and raised in Moscow, Tinatin (Vocalist, Songwriter, Author, & Radio Personality) is an artist of infinite pedigree who composes and performs a wide spectrum of material, host and produces her own radio show as a United Nations Correspondent in New York City and UN Radio. For her debut EP "Wild" Tinatin collaborates with songwriter/producer Ayhan Sahin on Young Pals Music. Title track "Wild" offers a socially conscious anthem about the consequences of climate change, as a rash of alarming trends sweep the land."

Censoring Love. Senor Zorba! I surmise that many people think you are Greek, but I was told you are from beautiful Puerto Rico! Questions, Senor: Did you derive your inspiration from the Gipsy Kings, or was it them from you? If Il Divo recruits you to be their 5th member, would you accept? I will have MORE FLAMENCO when I add more songs! There are two things one must have more of: cowbell and Flamenco! I am now learning something new from my musical "bird-dog" buddy Itso from Bulgaria: The lovely female vocals here are from the beautiful Tinatin Japaridze of "Wild" fame which you just heard. Now I am loving to hear this romantic song more than 3x as much! (heart emoticon) Me encanta el Flamenco y Censurando Amor. No es extraño para mí que el español es una de las lenguas románicas!

In the intro it sounded like I was dreaming a calliope was miles away and riding towards me on a flat bed cart until it passed me and the vocals took it's place. Does that make any sense to anyone? Yes, come on home Superman. And come on home Thought Gang. I read we can't find you and I wish to know who to properly thank for this song. Just sayin' - By the way, this song is a perfect complement to "Superlungs My Supergirl" on Donovan's 1969 "Barabajagal" album.

It sounds like you guys have "hit the big time" with your 3rd studio album "Crack-Up" to be released in a few weeks on June 16, 2017. As far as this song goes, your incredible vocal harmonies and cohesion as a band, made listening as a spiritual experience. That is squarely in my wheelhouse, my friends.

Norah Jones
Wurlitzer Prize (I don't wanna get over you)
Norah Jones; My All-Time #1 Female Solo Artist! You cemented that position last night at Omaha's Orpheum Theater! My 4 greatest concerts in alphabetical order: Moody Blues - 1992, Norah Jones - June 5, 2017, Paul McCartney - 1990, Rolling Stones 1972. Norah, you made my heart skip a beat when you answered me from center stage! You replied "THANKS TO YOU" when I shouted from the balcony, "LOVE YOU, NORAH!" I always have, and I always will! I know that IMP is primary a showcase for indie artists, but I leaped for joy when I saw this song here. Your own growth from being a new artist to a 9x Grammy Winner and The Jazz Artist of the 2000's is mind-boggling and an inspiration to artists and fans alike. I pray that I can live at least live another two decades to enjoy you and your awesome music! I could not sleep until 4:00 am after the concert and am still basking in the afterglow, 26 hours later. I hope that somehow you can read this blurb someday to see how special you are to me. One of the first things I did here a few months ago upon finding IMP was to write to you on your artist page. I will soon be adding to that message, dear lady! Thank you for who you are and what you do!

You both have 9 Grammys, so who will break the tie? I dunno, m'lady! Norah is a tad younger and is currently on top of her game.

Ruby Tuesday
Thanks to Itso of "Itso's Earworms" for introducing yet another artist to me! Of course, this caught my attention since Ruby Tuesday is my favorite song of The Rolling Stones who are my All-Time #8 Band from my pre-1990 era. I don't recall the exact set-list since 1972 was 45 years ago, but I probably heard Mick sing this live in Kansas City with my brother Tom (Stones are his #1 fave) and my best friend Bob. Unlike Itso, I really like Mick as he taught me half of my dance moves; lol! Actually my fave cover of this song is from Andrea Corrs of The Coors from Ireland. Really groovy video of her singing this live in concert with Ronnie Woods playing guitar alongside her! Rachel did a nice cover as well, but I enjoy the faster tempo of Andrea singing it. I will check out more of Ms. Fuller's works however!

Please write more in this style, sir! I would also love to hear Norah Jones cover this or perhaps you and her do a duet together. Perhaps "Later...With Jools Holland" as the venue would work nicely?

Saw The Who and you Pete, in Omaha a few years ago. Sat 7th row center right in front of Roger Daltrey! Was close enough to see that drummer Zak Starkey looks just like his papa Ringo. My #5 All-Time concert (see Norah Jones blurb for the 4 tied for #1). But you blokes were deafeningly (of a noise so loud as to make it impossible to hear anything else) the LOUDEST! My ears were still ringing 3 hours later and I am not so certain my hearing has been flawless since. Would not have traded this experience for anything! (Well, maybe all 4 original Beatles; LOL!)

I thought it time to post another legend here amidst the younger indie artists.

BEFORE THE WELL RUNS DRY
Also a former #1 in Classic Rock! But don't worry Richard; the well will never run dry here at IMP! You want a bigger compliment than the last song? Here goes: this belongs amongst the era of The Moody Blues comeback of the 80's, i.e. "The Present" and "Long Distance Voyager." And the Moodies are MY #1 and my bro's #2! The count is now 100 songs from 37 artists. Tally for my featured artists: 10 each from the MonaLisa Twins and David Nyro, 9 each from DeMonicka and Bryon Tosoff, and 7 from you, Richard Scotti. No worries though as I understand more songs and/or stations are possible. A little pause though as I roll-out this station nationwide to further promote IMP and all the incredibly talented artists here in "Groovy and 60's Style." Thank you Richard and all! Thank you; thank you very much! P.S. My original intent was to make a 50 song station, but I soon found out I had to keep going and grooving! 2nd P.S. This also has a bit of a Neil Diamond vibe to it; and I love him too!

This song is giving me goose bumps! SERIOUSLY! You write about the human condition and that speaks to our souls! I hope in your life you have a bit of sunshine as well!

When I listened to the Kayak Big 25 this week I was auditioning new songs and artists for my station. I tried to write down the name of the artist and the songs I wanted. I'm glad I guessed the spelling of "Stragula" correctly. I would have never guessed this was a song about red shoes! REALLY COOL!

Reached #1 on the KIAC Big 50. Declared "The Best Band in NH." Got a big shout out from Rolling Stone Mag. Did I need all these kudos? Nope! All I needed was to listen to a few bars for myself. Now my only dilemmas are; should this be considered as a lost track from Sgt. Peppers or Yellow Submarine? Should this be the first tune that the running bass line is my fave part? Don't need any visual for this, just the audio, thank you! Yup, this is definitely ready for the big-time music industry!

2016 Golden Kayak Winner - Best Male Artist!!! Ben! Mr. Elliot! Seriously? You are composing and performing this entire wall of sound by yourself? I would never, ever have suspected that had I not watched the video! You are one, singular talented gentleman! I was going to initially make this a 50 song station and then go from there, but you have already made me re-think that strategy and double that. I finally have begun to assemble a brilliant cadre of male artists to match the quantity and quality of the female artists here! This whole endeavor is getting better artist by artist! Why are you not one of my featured male artists? It is because I added you very early and had not conceived of that idea yet. I will rectify that next round of station adds. Then there will be four of you and you all can have a lovely round of golf together!

But when I listened, no one had to cajole me into adding this to my station! At the MLT/IFC and IMP there is a lot of discussion about what constitutes a genre and then I see this is called "Groove Pop?" What better fit could there be for the name of my station? Add to that the hard driving piano, which is how I love to play, and this is a perfect fit for me! Thanks again Evie! Now to quickly find a 2nd song from Ben!

No problem believing this song also reached #1 on the KIAC Big 50! In case you haven't noticed by now, sometimes the style of indie artists reminds me of mainstream artists of back in my day, and sometimes not. This one? How about the vocals of Victoria meet the piano of Leon Russell? Maybe that is just my younger self of the early 70's talking for me? Will there be more of s.r.f.t.d. coming to IMP stations soon, I hope? Victoria, please add more songs to IMP so I can make you one of my featured artists!

Listening to Azwel for the very first time (again from Eve's recommendation), this could very well become a pastime for me. Does anyone reading this know Brian Wilson? If he ever wants to create "Pet Sounds Volume II" then he would do well to consider a collaboration with Jason Perrillo and insure that this track is on it. P.S. This has a little "Rainbow Connection" vibe to it! Hey, don't knock it before you listen to Kermit's duet with Debbie Harry! Just sayin'

This is a rare replacement for a deleted song in my station. I "auditioned" several of your many IMP songs and settled on this one that is currently in the Kayak Big 25. That is a good recommendation and another is that it reminds me of the style of The Association back in the 60's.

I have almost doubled my number of songs tonight and I have NEVER heard David's songs before tonight. His music defines what my station is all about. I must pause here though, as I promised myself to never surpass the quantity of songs of the MonaLisa Twins, my female featured artists. Much more to come on "Groovy and 60's Style!"

To me you are kind of like a modern day John Lennon. You might even say that is a bigger "shout-out" than my Moody Blues comment! The Moodies and then The Beatles top My All-Time Pre-90's Bands. I have a second category which is Post-90's which is ongoing. After hearing just a handful of your songs, you will be in the Top 10 of that, I promise!

When Richard Scooti wrote a Pipeline blog about my new station, Mr. Tosoff was kind enough to drop by and give me some huge compliments and encouragement as well. I wondered if he was also an IMP artist. A little more investigation and I realized this gentleman is a musical legend! As soon as I heard his awesome piano, I knew his songs were my next adds! I was just scrolling through "eYe" the #1 IMP station, to see what he was playing and sure enough, several songs of Bryon Tosoff are there. Now several are on my station as well! This will surely satisfy my jazz yearnings until I personally experience Norah Jones for myself at the Omaha Orpheum Theater on June 5, which is just one week from this Monday!

What I can actually can remember (which is fairly easy as I just listened to this song) is that I love Michelle's vocals, the seemingly effortless chord progressions, and that I just plain like this song! I've always thought that the best music has come out of Europe, and maybe, just maybe, I can now narrow that down to the British Isles. Please remember to add this to your set list when you tour the states! If the gentle listener has reached this far, you have just listened to 6 HOURS and 21 MINUTES of the WORLD'S GREATEST MUSIC here at indiemusicpeople.com! Why not build your own station and feel free to "borrow" any of my songs as I have also done from others? TELL ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS ABOUT IMP!!! ANYONE WHO LOVES MUSIC!!!

Lose Your Mind
Now in the Kayak Big 25! Hi again Sharon! I probably have already lost my mind, so can you write a song for me called "Find Your Mind?" If you notice, I give careful thought to the placement of my songs. Every artist here is a shining star! I just cannot put 80 songs (with more to come) into 10 slots, right? Notice that I put you squarely next to Sheryl Crow, the 9x Grammy Award Winner. She and Norah Jones, also a winner of 9 Grammies, are my Top 2 female solo artists. (I will see and hear Norah here in Omaha in concert in less than 2 weeks!) I put you right next to Sheryl because this song could fit in very nicely with her 1998 "The Globe Sessions."

American Dreamers
Precious Time
Mr. and Mrs. Rap, I love your songs and the obvious inspiration from the love you have for one another. I wish for you all joy and happiness together with your little ones. Perhaps you are showing the world that it is still realistic to be an American Dreamer! God bless you.

Love Survivors
Hi Steve! Thank you for responding to my "music search" request on the Pipeline. This is the one I specifically chose from your recommendations. It is somewhat reminiscent to me of the works of Neil Young. I will give a further listen to you to come up with some more adds. By the way, I agree that love does require some surviving; LOL! Thanks again!

March
About time for another instrumental and LOVE this! Didn't know what an "ambient" genre was, so looked it up: "a style of instrumental music with electronic textures and no persistent beat, used to create or enhance a mood or atmosphere." I like instrumentals as they "cleanse one's palate" as it were, between vocal songs. And yes, Steve I see The Beatles influence here. (See "Flying")

no.2 Kraft Paperbag
Reached Top 5 on KIAC Big 50! I promised the Velcro Girl was going to stick to me, didn't I? Even so, no one warned me that her band was 2005 Golden Kayak Winner - Best Band! Now I shall never get unstuck, nor would I want to! This time I can hear a George Harrison influenced guitar, like the MonaLisa Twins also. Hey, if his influence is good enough for them and for Dhani Harrison, then it is good enough for anyone, right?

velcro girl
Reached #1 on KIAC Big 50! If the gentle reader has been following my blurbs, they can tell that the style of some indie bands remind me of more familiar bands of my youth. Not this song and its vocals by Silvia Ryder though. This girl's voice is gonna stick to me like Velcro, and I'm gonna dream tonight of fairies made of sugarplums and wake up humming this melody. That is quite alright with me!

Everybody Loves Eve
Everybody loves Eve! Well, I am part of everybody, aren't I? You betcha! Very groovy Scott! If he will only hear this song, and especially see her face, Tom Petty would also love Eve and cover this song too! (heart emoticon) Hi Evie! Thanks so much for helping me all along the line appreciating the power of IMP and building this station!

Fade to Dust
This will go down in history as your first song I ever heard. 1/6/18. First heard by me covered by Whitherward on YouTube in their dining room in Denver. "Morning Breath" Episode 9 on 3/22/15. Your first 4 songs here at IMP are in 2 different genres. On my station this says "Dream Pop" but the parent genre is "Alternative Pop Rock." That is the category for which it can be nominated for a Golden Kayak during November 2018. You are composing new music; Whitherward is composing new music; and many artists here will be. I don't know though; this could prove to be my personal "Song of the Year for 2018." I just listened to the instrumental version on your website and almost swooned! If they ever write a sequel to "War of The Worlds" this should weave throughout the entire soundtrack. I would love seeing Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues perform this with you. This dear lady, is WORLD CLASS songwriting and performance; LOVE THIS!!!

Shine Again
Better chance than not I will be nominating this for the 2018 Golden Kayak Best Song Easy Listening/Soft Rock in about 10 months. On my station it lists as "Adult Contemporary." Just hover your cursor over the category and the parent genre is revealed. Your other two songs here are this same genre category. This is SO beautiful, that yes it is now making me cry! You draw attention to a malady that is so often misunderstood; Depression Disorder. I am fairly certain I have set up a tent in that camp a few times in my life. May I share some of what your video shares, Meredith? This "is the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide...More than 300 million people worldwide are living with depression." I have no problem believing that at all. God bless you for being part of the raising consciousness of this global pandemic. There were good reasons I was instantly drawn to you and your beautiful music, Ms. Blis. I understand this published less than 2 months ago. I would be very honored to be considered by you as one of the "Blisful Ones."

Let it Rain
I have only heard a few bars of this and am adding it. I will be losing myself in all your music. Absolutely brilliant and as I implied on Facebook, you are the closest I've ever heard to Kate Bush. I wish to borrow what you say on your artists' page: "This song is about believing in your strength - When the storms come?.... Let it Rain." I love that Meredith! Life tries every day to beat us down. Some people rejoice more in our trials that they do in our joys. The older I get, the less I will allow the toxic people to bring me down. I surround myself with the lovely people. That is why Ashley and Edward and I have such a strong connection despite only knowing about each other since May and meeting in person in late September. Ask Ash; I am a pretty strong judge of character. I have keen instincts. I can tell just from your music and what you sing about that you are "one of the good ones." Music is way more than entertainment for me. It is one of our greatest gifts from God and a way to praise Him and to connect with each other on a deeper level that transcends the spoken word. Thank for so much for our first 12 hours of connection today!

Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful
You are very beautiful Meredith. Once we hit our middle age, whenever that is for each of us, we realize that the bloom of youth has passed us and our physical beauty fades. But the beauty we are as an individual can go on growing and growing. We are made in "the image and likeness of God" and can keep growing in Love, Wisdom, Justice, and Power, and all other qualities that spring from these four. Mankind has long had conflicts and wars based on differences. The people who have understanding and insight are the ones who show love and compassion to others. A woman or man can be the most physically gorgeous and adorned person on the face of the earth. But if they are unkind and add to the crushing burden of another, then they are as "a gold nose ring in the snout of a pig." I know you have many other works, but thanks so much by adding these 4 songs to the beauty that surrounds me this day, lovely lady!
