Early on in her career, she discovered that many of her patients, while under hypnosis, reported bazaar incidents of alien abductions which closely mirrored the experiences of her other patients. Today, she is regarded as one of the most respected practitioners in this field, a consultant for many documentaries on the subject, and a lecturer about it all over the world.

Bison Machine brings the Rock, Tune in to Motor!!

These guys got something special going on. Throwback to some early Black Sabbath and you'll get the idea. Rootsy. Bluesy. Real Detroit-y (I said it). Get with this if you like straight ahead rock without the glam. Hold the pretensions. Get down with Bison Machine.

Spirits, Rejoined!

Pat Frisco returns to Spirits Rejoice tonight refreshed and recharged. Pat's musical journey is as deep and profound as it is challenging to describe. Avant garde jazz is as close as we come. Sonically challenging while spiritually liberating is no overstatement. Tune in tonight from 6 until 10 and see if you don't tune BACK in each and every Tuesday night.
