January 6, 1962 – August 10, 2002
Tune in for a birthday celebration of the music of Michael Houser. The show will be both a marathon of music (jam packing as much music into the time slot as possible), and will feature some jams that could be called Marathon Mike because he solos so relentlessly.
The broadcast is on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, at 8PM Central Time on KXUA Fayetteville and Honest.FM
There will be a mix of pretty instrumental songs (like A of D, Happy Child and West Virginia), and a few classic Widespread Panic live centerpieces (Airplane > Jam, Impossible > Jam, Pigeons). It’s not all jams though, this show is focused on song-writing and the meanings behind Mike’s songs, which are often about his family, or the life of the everyman (Song In My Heart, Postcard, Porch Song).
Many of the songs will have Houser singing, some feature vocalists Danny Hutchens (Bloodkin), Vic Chesnutt (Brute), John Bell (Widespread Panic), Jerry Joseph (Jackmormons). Houser plays on the majority of the tracks, but a couple tracks are songs that he cited as his influences (Yes, and Black Sabbath)
The highlight of the program is a rare, never-before-heard remix of 2 studio demos: Mike Houser singing “Humpy Galumpy” in the studio matched up with an earlier instrumental version of Humpy Galumpy, that only came to light on January 1st of this year (and I remixed the tracks together for continuity myself last night, for the Radio Show listeners).
Tune in Tuesday, January 6, 2009, at 8PM Central Time on KXUA! Happy Birthday Houser. Miss you Mikey.

Listening now. Sounds awesome. A great retrospective of a great musician and a great human-being

Listening to the podcast, shows what an amazing guitarist he was, very much an unsunk hero. Living in London, have only had the chance to see Panic three times, each time with Mikey. The first and most memorable, was 1998 when they played The Borderline, a small place of 450 souls, a hot, sweaty evening, amazing music, been hooked ever since.

Sorry guys, of course meant unsung hero, doh!
