Playlist: Episode #876, Feb. 14, 2021

It is Valentine’s Day, and although that goofy greeting card holiday doesn’t really excite me, it is also the time when we celebrate the life and music of the great Willie P Bennett, who died on February 15, 2008. This year there’s a whole crop of great new cover versions that you can (and should) check out on YouTube, and we’ve got a few of my favourites on the show today as well as a bunch of great new music, German requests, and a tip of the hat to our friends at CKUW 95.9 fm, who are in the midst of their annual FunDrive. I support the cause every single year, and I hope that you will too! Go to ckuw.ca/donate to show your support!
