Some kids get all excited and can’t sleep a week before Christmas. Me, I have no use for that over-commercialized holiday, it’s The Winnipeg Folk Fest that gets visions of new CDs and Whales’ Tails dancing in my head! I’ve been talking about the festival for months it seems, and in a few short days it’ll be here. So what else could we talk about on the show today but Folk Fest, Folk Fest, and more Folk Fest!

First up, a live in-studio visit from a dear friend who’s playing at Folk Fest this year, Cara “Lovely” Luft. She dropped by to chat about life after the Wailin’ Jennys and the many things that are keeping her busy and excited these days.

Then, conversations with two first-time performers that I know are going to find many new fans next weekend, Wayne “The Train” Hancock and Jesse DeNatale.

A mixed bag today to be certain.

First up, a long list of requests from one of our most dedicated listeners, Allison in Victoria. She sent in a list of requests that was so good, it made up the first hour of the show.

Then, a listen back to an interview that I did on Free Range Radio back in August of 2003. Winnipeg’s own Luke Doucet dropped by to talk about his many, many projects and play us some new songs. Since I’m off at the Winnipeg Folk Festival this week enjoying Luke and many others, it seemed like the perfect chat to revisit.

Then, a few things from the mail bag.

I’m off at the Hillside Festival in Guelph this week, so plenty of pre-taped goodness on the show.

Hour 1 is almost entirely devoted to trying to convince you to join me at The Regina Folk Fest next weekend. It should be a great time, and if I can’t convince you, an hour of great tunes should do.

After 3, we feature a whole bunch of great new CDs that were generously sent in by Red House Records. They’re a fine roots label and put out a lot of great things that I know you’ll love, as proven by over a half hour of music.

Then, a listen back to one of my favourite live guests, Josh Ritter, who dropped by last October for a visit. He’s in Guelph this weekend and so am I, so I figured it was a good time to revisit the interview. He came in and chatted and played a bunch of songs live. If you missed it the first time, tune in again. If you heard it before, well, it was that good that you should tune in again.

I’ve picked up TONS of new stuff on my travels as of late, and have been lucky enough to receive some great new releases from some fine labels and artists, so it’s time to go through a bunch of it and play it on the show. A lot of wonderful and diverse music stretched over 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon sounds pretty darned good to me!

The show is pretaped (again) this week, as I’m off at the Regina Folk Fest, no doubt stocking up on more music to play on upcoming shows.
