Peter Alsop‘s SONGS TO CHEW

Latest Episodes:

Homely Friend Jul 10, 2020

Show notes

Today we'll listen to my "Homely Friend" song. It's not about "ugly people", it's about the word "homely", which originally referred to something or someone who felt and looked "homemade". We see their flaws, but we feel at home with 'em anyway. As we spend more time at home these days, we have an opportunity to see how the galloping pace of our everyday life may have caused us to overlook the love we have with the most important people in our lives, ... our most "homely" friends and family! And now we can fix that! Hooray!

* CAMPING WITH DADS, my new album is now available for pre-sales! Our theme is: "teaching our sons, so our daughters no longer need #MeToo". To pre-order, e-mail peter@peteralsop.com

Gary Wall Jun 26, 2020

Show notes

This week’s episode is a true story about a single foster parent’s struggle to adopt a child. Our current 'sheltering in place' provides many of us with an opportunity to relate to Gary's 'loneliness', and review our lives so far. Many of us find ourselves thinking about how we might want to redirect our lives and widen our circle of care. So here, ... from my UNIFORMS album, ...is this week's SONG TO CHEW, ... Gary Wall.

All Used Up Jun 20, 2020

Show notes

This week's Song To Chew is "All Used Up", written by my old buddy Utah Phillips. It was his birthday last week. He was one of my teachers.

Everybody's Goin' For The Money Jun 05, 2020

Show notes

Almost all the songs I perform are songs that I've written, ... but today's song, "Ev'rbody's Goin' For The Money" is by Spider John Koerner. He influenced my style of guitar playing and songwriting. I added this line, ... "So why sing a song about money? Why think about our way of life? Cause it’s time to face that the human race, needs something more than money to survive!" Good song to chew on!

Got a new album coming out soon! "Camping With Dads", not 'just for kids'! To pre-order, e-mail me ~ peter@peteralsop.com

Draw The Line May 15, 2020

Show notes

Today's "Song to Chew" is the title cut from my DRAW THE LINE album. ~ How do we make a choice about where, ... and when, to actually "draw the line"? What will prompt us to take individual action to change the course of human events? Our kids? Or do we leave it up to someone else, while we "get up and go to work, ... just like everything is fine?" From 1980, ... still very relevant today!
