Featuring music celebrating some musician birthdays, commemorating The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and more.

And, with all apologies to Stu Reid, we play both kinds of music this week: Heros (in honour of Remembrance Day) and villains (recognizing some low-down, dirty thieves!)

Christmas came early with the announcement of the brilliant Grand Cariboo Opry show coming up at the WECC. With so many of our favourites on board, we just have to celebrate with some songs. We were lucky enough to talk with the leader of the cavalcade himself, the Legendary (heart) Barney Bentall.

Today is the birthday of two great Canadian singer/songwriters, Sarah Harmer and ol’ Neil Young, so we had to celebrate that with some covers, guest appearances, and classics.

Wow, was that Grand Cariboo Opry good. ‘Nuff said.

This weekend marks the 30th anniversary of the legendary Band’s legendary Last Waltz. That group’s impact on music was huge, so we looked at some of their work and some great Band covers.

And, some musical birthdays, including our pal Geoff Berner, the late great Stan Rogers, and Randy Newman.
