Some songs and love for our Pledge-O-Rama donors today, new music and a re-release, and we send some love and support out to John Showman, who's recovering from a rather nasty accident. We dug into the many, many albums and projects that he's contributed his voice and outstanding fiddle to.

It's Pledge-O-Rama time again, your opportunity to show your support and encouragement for everything that UMFM does for our community and all that it represents. One week a year we seek a little support in order to help the station survive in an uncertain world and to take one some special projects. We sure would love to hear from you! Tell the Band to Go Home listeners have been especially generous in the past so we're hoping for another strong showing this year. On today's show, we heard some rockin' classics, some new music, and we welcomed some next-generation budding programmers, Austin, Joshua, and Mishka.

New music, discoveries, classics, and we pay tribute to the great David Wiffen, who left us on April 5. Wiffen didn't release a lot of music, but he wrote some timeless classics and possessed one of my very favourite voices of all time.

A 3-hour deep dive into the musical career of the great Jon Dee Graham. Jon Dee cheated death a bunch of times, so it came as a shock that he had left us this week. He was one of the very best songwriters, storytellers, and guitar players who ever lived, and he was also a humble, decent, hilarious man. It was an honour to have him in the studio and in my home in 2014. He leaves behind many grieving family members and friends, but also leaves behind an incredible musical legacy. This is my attempt to sum up his extraordinary career.
