Ello, ello, dear CFCR listeners!
Today's show was a blast. I'll be honest, I always have fun sharing the tunes and babbling away about random facts on air, but visiting this amazing radio station is quite often the highlight of my week. I played quite a few new-to-me-tunes, including Jenn Grant and Dan Mangan+Blacksmith, and Young Liars.

Help I'm Alive
Hello! Well, if I needed a musical pick-me-up, it came at a great time! I had a flat tire on my car this morning... le sigh. But many other things about the day so far - including some awesome tunes - have been wonderful. Lovely compliments from a friend in Montreal and a family member in PEI, and a coffee from a fellow host were definitely big reasons to smile. And I'm alive. That's a good day. :)

Winter Days
Hello! Today's show was my last of 2014. Isn't it simply bonkers how fast this year has gone by? I can't believe it. The next two Thursdays are Christmas and New Year's Day, so I will not be back in studio until January 8, 2015.
Today's show was fun. :) I played a few cool local tunes, some older classics, and a mix of some traditional and not-so traditional Holiday and wintry tunes.
When I was preparing for the show, I noticed that it was fitting for me to play a Deep Dark Woods song called 18th of December, as that is today's exact date! Whodathunkit?! Sorry, I get a bit weird around the holidays, haha.

Well, it's been a slice, a blur, and a year of great music. Ups and downs, celebrations, and dedications. Thanks for listening to CFCR. We appreciate it!

Let it Shine on Me
Hello, folks.
Today's Saskatchewan-laden playlist was inspired by a few things. The amazingly diverse, cohesive, and stunning music scene we're so fortunate to have here in the province.
But namely, it is an homage Derek Bachman. An icon, cornerstone, and advocate for the Saskatchewan music world. He passed away suddenly yesterday, and on social media channels, it was immediately evident that he touched many lives in the too-short amount of time he was on this earth.
I did not know Derek well, just through other folks. However, I saw him around at shows and at local coffee shops, and I wish I would have taken the opportunity to chat with him much more. I knew he was an awesome guy, always on the go. The glowing words about him - and the wonderful work that SaskMusic does - have always been generously spoken among those involved in the ever-changing, constantly evolving musical arena in the province. He, along with a collection of fellow devotees, have been dedicated champions of Sask-bred musicians for a number of years.
Life is so short. I cannot even come close to feeling the impact of this loss as some others, like his family close friends. Many heartfelt tributes have already been composed, and this most recent one by Craig Silliphant encapsulates the feeling well.
This one's for you, Derek. You're missed by many already!
