Episode #1100
1100 episodes and still going strong, still playing great music that is underappreciated and underrepresented elsewhere. Sharing this great music never gets old, and it’s a blessing to still be doing it.
Today, some timely Toronto tunes, a bunch of beautiful new music, and we send some love and healing vibes to a true unsung hero of Canadian music, a real musicians’ musician, John MacArthur Ellis (https://macparkpro.com/). We heard two hours of great music that Johnny has either written, produced, and/or played on, and there was still a whole pile that didn’t make it to air!
John has been battling cancer and a variety of other ailments that have made life very difficult, but haven’t dimmed his optimism or love for life. If you want to know more or want to join so many others in helping his family during a time of great need, you can check out the details here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-john-get-through-his-bone-marrow-transplant
