Episode #907

Once again this week we've got a great batch of new music and we revisit some classic debut albums. Last weekend, we got the sad news that a longstanding supporter of UMFM and this show had passed away. Boyd Barber not only gave me one of my favourite songwriters in his son Del Barber, but also some great songs and stories and support. We've got a whole hour of memories today as we tip our hats to him and his loving family and friends. (ethicaldeathcare.com/barber-boyd)

Episode #902

Every once in a while you notice that an artist or band that you loved or saw a bunch of times seems to be missing in action. Sometimes a band or artist will just give up the hectic, unpredictable, stressful, dangerous life of a touring musician, and sometimes they'll just drop a little further off the radar, still making music that you might not necessarily even know about. This episode compiles some of those artists and bands and we track a few down and wonder about some others. 

This is another in our long line of timeless "standby" episodes that you might hear again some day when I'm not able to come up with a new show. It's full of great music, so I'm sure you won't mind. Heck, you might just want to come back and revisit it on your own some time!
