Episode #1116
A bonus half hour allowed for a little extra Can-con Christmas music before jumping into yet another tribute to a fallen music icon. Lately, we've had to pay tribute to Todd Snider and Raul Malo, and we were hoping to not have to do it for a while, but the sad news arrived that Joe Ely had left us so an extended tribute was in order once again. Joe has been a pillar of the Texas roots scene for decades and has dabbled in a wide variety of styles and worked with just about everybody over the course of his career. He was also another gem of a human being. He will be missed but his many musical contributions will surely never be forgotten. It would be impossible to fully cover the man's career in the time we had, but we heard a cross-section of his solo material, work with others, others covering his songs, him covering others' songs, and more!

New music, classics, we say goodbye to blues & roots great Tim Williams, and a deep dive into the playlists of Planet Mainstage, a mainstay on UMFM for over 20 years. We paid tribute to our friend John Prentice yesterday and it was a reminder of the reach and influence of John's show. I went through his playlists to find out which artists were played the most over the past 20 years and played a bunch of the most played artists and their most played songs.

This weekend we lost a truly great performer and songwriter. Todd Snider was a gifted and influential musician who left his mark on many other musicians and many fans. Today, we looked at his life and legacy with highlights from his studio albums, some of his memorable and hilarious live stories, as well as some of the many covers, tributes, and collaborations that he was a part of.

Episode #1109
Celebrating 20 or so years of Winnipeg's Park Theatre with highlights and memories of some of the many great shows that I've seen there, and a few that I regret missing. I've even got an hour of exclusive live recordings from shows I've attended over the years.
Thanks to Erick Casselman and his staff for more than 20 years of being a leader in our music and arts communities! The Park is a privately owned venue that continually improves the experience for performers, attendees, and our city in general. It's really remarkable how much the venue has improved and contributed over the years. I look forward to many, many more great things to come at the Park, and their new sister venue, Sidestage, which has quickly become one of my favourite places to see a show!
