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!

Disclaimer: This show isn't for everyone. It's a raw and emotional reaction to finding out that a dear friend is no longer with us. It's unlike any episode I would generally put out, but important enough to be honest and real about. Listener discretion is advised.
John Prentice was a longtime volunteer at UMFM, hosting Planet Mainstage for many years, and Folkus and The World Beat Show prior to that. He's been active in the film and television industries and has lent his passion and support to just about every arts and culture endeavour in town. He was a volunteer at the Winnipeg Folk Festival for most of its 50 years and a regular supporter and attendee of other festivals.
John was also a dear friend and someone I respected, admired, and looked up to for around 35 years.
Every song played on this episode was pulled from his playlists between 2005 and 2010. I'll continue going through those and put together a proper tribute later, but this was important enough to do in the moment, despite how difficult it was.
Great thanks to Nicole for helping me get through. Love and condolences go out to John's wife Lynn, his family, and countless friends.
