Episode #1021
On last week's show and in a recent post on the website, I listed off some of my favourite music released in 2023, but in making the list, I realized that there were a LOT of releases, even by some of my favourite artists, that I just didn't get to spend enough time with for one reason or another, so they didn't make the main list. This episode aims to clean up some of the leftovers and check out some of the releases that somehow slipped past me in the past year.

Episode #1004
On September 11, 2003, my friends Gary Annable, Mike Neufeld, and Terry "T-Bar" Wilson and I launched a weekly radio show called Steel Belted (Free Range) Radio. In honour of the 20th anniversary of our debut, we managed to get 3/4 of the original hosting lineup back together for a joyful reunion. T-Bar and Gary joined me for some memories of the good old days, some new music, and lots of laughs. We also celebrated the recent 25th anniversary of the most incredible festival lineup ever assembled in this city, the World Next Door Festival, which was held Sept. 4-7, 1998. We heard from some of the artists booked that weekend, including many that I wish I had taken the time to go see.

Episode #1001
To commemorate the 1000th episode of the program, I present the recording of a live event that we put on in October of last year to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the show. We recorded a live version of Tell the Band to Go Home at The Park Theatre with special guests Keri Latimer, Nicky Mehta (The Wailin' Jennys), and JP Hoe, three longtime friends and favourites. I had a conversation with each, then they played some of their songs. As usual, we also heard some new music and talked about some exciting upcoming events.

Episode #977
We've got the blues today as we recently learned of the death of a true Winnipeg radio icon, Rockin' Ronnie Lindsay. Ronnie hosted Bluesday on Tuesday for over 30 years and gave a lot of entertainment and inspiration to many. The least we can do is stretch out and play some rockin' blues, just the way Ronnie would have liked it. After some of the best blues of all time, back to our usual singer/songwriter fare with some new music, road trip chatter, a look back at an influential album turning 20, and we look back at some notable Sunset Saloon past performers currently residing in the where are they now file!
