It’s Pledge-O-Rama time again! This is the one show a year where we turn the power over to the listeners and ask them to help keep us going and growing. The generous support of our listeners puts the wind in our sales and helps us to fix broken equipment and take on new projects. We’ve been very lucky to have such great support from our listeners. In return, we try to put on an extra special show. Today we have the world premiere of the brand new album from Winnipeg icons the D. Rangers and we have some other Winnipeg icons, The Fuse (aka Hatcher-Briggs) live in the studio to sing and chat!

On Thanksgiving weekend, I thought I’d take a trip down memory lane and play some of the albums that have meant the most to me in my life. These are albums that helped guide me here and keep me here today, and albums that I consider among my very best friends – ones I turn to over and over again. A much more personal, sentimental show than we usually do, but one absolutely full of great albums, all of which I’d highly recommend that you pick up for yourself.

The leaves are dropping and boy oh boy so is the new music, with plenty of great stuff coming out weekly; we have lots to go through once again. We’ve also got a couple of great shows coming up this week to preview and a listen back to a moment from our very first program as we approach our birthday. Tell the Band to Go Home officially started on September 29, 2002 and we’re still going strong! Here’s to many more!
