Steel Belted Radio – Nov. 3, 2011

There’s a couple of great shows coming up, featuring Brock Zeman and Tom Wilson, and while we could spend hours and hours extolling the virtues of both, we’ll do what we can in the space of a few songs. This week we also play a bunch of all-time classics for our pal Boyd, and anyone who loves great songs.

All the cool kids are releasing new albums on vinyl these days, and the coolest of the cool put out limited edition coloured vinyl versions, so that nerds like me can bring a bunch of them down to play on the radio, like I did today. We also listened to a few tracks featuring producer/player Sam Kassirer, who heads to Winnipeg this week to make a new record. We heard some folky songs, some rockin’ tunes, some dedications, and some songs inspired by the Neighbor’s Dog.

Visit with Santa, support Siloam!

If you’re a regular listener, you’ve surely heard, or at least heard me mention, regular listener and all around good fella, Ron from Lockport. Every year at Christmas time, he is called into action as one of Santa’s helpers, visiting with kids of all ages in a shiny red suit. He’s like other Santa’s helpers, but he does things a little differently – he donates ALL of the money collected for his visits to charity. He does a whole bunch of visits, cheers up a bunch of kids and adults, and then makes a generous donation to a worthy cause. That, friends, is what you call a win-win situation.

If you’re looking to visit with Santa this year, give Ron a call. He’s Tell the Band to Go Home approved, through and through.
