Episode #746
Canada is the greatest country in the world for many reasons, most notably to us, the amazing music that comes from here. We celebrate great Canadian music every single week on this program, but especially on the occasion of our nation's birthday, it's time to do another Canada Day Spectacular, where we play nothing but truly essential Canadian music. This one's especially for our great international listeners who might not know just how much great music we give to the world, but also for anyone who enjoys some of the greatest songs & writers that the world has ever known.

Episode #728
One of the guiding lights on this program is the late, great Willie P Bennett. He died on February 15, 2008, and I've vowed to keep playing his music as long as I'm around. There are some exciting tribute shows going on this week, and BIG news about the LONG-awaited re-release of his music to discuss on this week's show. We also heard a lot of his songs, both the originals and some cool covers, as well as some Willie tribute songs, some of Willie's contributions to other artists' albums, and more.

Episode #727
Today we play Namedropper, where each and every song is either about another song or songwriter, or mentions one or more of 'em! See if you can keep score at home and pick out all of the mentions, there's a lot of them! I found so many of these songs that we will surely revisit this topic in the not-too-distant future, so if you've got other suggestions, let me know!
This is one of our standby series of pre-recorded episodes that are meant to be timeless, so we can pop them into the schedule again some time when I can't be at the studio live, so enjoy this one now and again!

It's time for another of our legendary marathons where we ring out the old year and look forward to the new. As always, we've got tributes to two of the greatest and most important songwriters of all time, who coincidentally died on the same day - Jan. 1, as well as an extensive look back at some of the best and most interesting albums and events of the year, and discuss some things to look forward to in the new year!

It's the final day of Pledge-O-Rama 2017 and once again our listeners have come through in fine fashion and donated generously to help the station to keep going and growing! In a last-ditch attempt to get closer to my personal goal, I came down to UMFM ridiculously early to host my own morning show!

Our pal Gail Comfort was, unfortunately, unable to make it in for Pledge-O-Rama this year, so we called in some backup in the form of a chat with one of Gail's favourites, Oh Susanna, in an effort to raise a little bit of money for the station that we love.

This is one of those "standby" episodes that you might hear again some day, but it's so darn good that you surely won't mind!
Hanging out at music festivals (especially smaller ones), you hear a lot of artists covering other artists. This episode is full to the brim with classic songs that have been covered by others in my recent travels.

Today a journey to the iconic city of New York, New York! There are so many songs about The Big Apple that we could spend a whole day and not get through half of them, but we’ll do our best to pull out some of the gems and tour around the city in song!
