We’ve been captivated by the striking music featured on Cheri Knight’s American Rituals lately—one of our favorite songs from it opens this episode, the mantric “Prime Numbers.” Recorded in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, Knight’s experimental compositions recall the minimalism of John Cage or Meredith Monk, but are shot through with a post-punk streak, all delivered with meditative, repetitive vocal abstractions that evoke her interest in Buddhism and meditation.  Hailing from Western Massachusetts, where she grew up a “farm girl,” which she remains to this day, Knight’s travels eventually took her away from Olympia. She joined up with an alt-country band, Blood Oranges, and after that embarked on a solo career. Cheri is a rare person who connects equally to Pauline Oliveros and Steve Earle, who we discuss in this episode. Thank you for listening to Transmissions.

Transmissions :: Cheri Knight 

The word celebrity comes from the Old French celebrité, meaning "celebration," and the Sanskrit word for prayer, pal-al, which means "judging oneself to be wondrously made." Living large is the highest expression of gratitude. It is rejuvenating, attractive, and releases joy that blesses everyone we meet. Cheri Knight joins us on the red carpet to read and discuss today's Daily Word®, "Gladness."

Take Advantage of Your Celebrity Status, With Cheri Knight

With faith in God, success is in charge. We participate simply by blessing our to-do lists and enjoying each indicated action. Living this way allows God to work behind the scenes, making wonderful arrangements on our behalf. This is the perfect time for Funniest Thing! fan Cheri Knight to drop in to read and discuss today's Daily Word®, "Time."

Time Is On Our Side, With Cheri Knight
