    The Radio-Medicine Show is on the air!

    Just wanted to let you know that our first show is finished, and you can hear the whole thing at our Myspace page here:

    www.myspace.com/PopHaydnShow

    or at our Facebook page here:

    www.facebook.com/RadioMedShow

    The Radio-Medicine Show is a weekly for-broadcast syndicated radio show, distributed by Jagger Peyton Entertainment Group, www.jaggerpeyton.com

    We have music, comedy and fun with Pop Haydn, Professor Dave Bourne and the Medicine Show Band, Judge Nelson, Nancy Magill and our special guests.

    On our first show, our featured guest is the wonderful and lovely psychic ukelele lady, Madame Pamita.

    As you know, I am not originally from the 21st Century myself, but have been stranded here along with a bunch of fellow expatriates from another time.

    Don't get us wrong--we love it here in the 21st Century!

    We love the Internet, and the toilet paper, and the fact that you can sell people in this century plain water by the bottle, for real money!

    But frankly, the music and entertainment leave a lot to be desired...

    We want to provide an alternative to the noise and electro-magnetic and bio-wave energy distortions amd all the other infelicities of this very noisy time.

    Everything that goes in your ear stays in your head forever, so listen carefully...

    We have just what you need, folks!

    It's the cure for the 21st Century!

    The music on the show is eclectic Americana, with cowboy, blues, and Old Time music, jazz, jug band, string band, ukelele and eccentric music from the 1890's to the 1930's.

    Each selection is chosen for its medicinal qualities, creating a perfect prescription for healing the stress and infelicities of the 21st Century.

    It'll make you feel better!

    We can use your help. Please check out our page, and FRIEND us.
    It will help a lot as we are seeking affiliates.

    I hope you enjoy our show. Let me know what you think!

    Thank you so much!

    There is no place I would rather be than here in the 21st Century with you...

Cyser take the refined sound of the border bagpipes, the hypnotic tones of the hurdy-gurdy, and the massive dynamic range of the piano-accordion and combine these elements to make exhilarating and haunting music (when we do it right ;).

Centered around dancing, their repertoire is a mixture of original compositions and traditional tunes. The main influences are from the dance music of central France (which is traditionally played on the bagpipe and hurdy-gurdy) and the dance music of Brittany.

The band met and developed their sound playing together at French traditional music sessions in Bristol and Chippenham and formed Cyser late in 2004.

If you'd like to ask about booking the band, inquire about favourite ice creams or even something less important, then please send an email to: cyser@myspace.com
