Most folks take it easy over the holidays and stay home instead of coming in to do a radio show they don’t get paid for. Bah! I’ll pick up the slack for those lazy jokers, as usual. 5 hours of great music to keep your holidays enjoyable. And to keep me company, my good pal KK dropped by to cohost. Some bluesy stuff, some old classics we haven’t heard in a while, a tribute to Townes, a little bit o’ rock, tribute to Vic Chesnutt, and much more.

Christmas time’s a comin’, and that means that we have to do our best to prove that not all holiday music stinks. It also means that we have to work on our “best of” lists for the year, so we ran down some contenders. And, just before the year ends, we had to squeeze in our (almost) annual visit from local singer/songwriter/super guy, JP Hoe to chat about his upcoming Hoe Hoe Hoe Holiday show. He also, yet again, has some dazzling new songs to play.

Special guest co-host Elysha joins us today for some extra fun & festivities. We played some fetive songs, some requests, some of our favourites, and whatever else came to mind. We also had the official phone-in poll to settle the debate about “Canada Day/Toronto,” no matter what that other guy says.

Steel Belted Radio – November 26, 2009
A busy night with some very special, very exciting guests, live in-studio. First up is the wonderful artist behind one of this year’s most beautiful albums, Rose Cousins. Her voice and reputation have been well known to us, since she’s appeared on dozens of great albums that we love, but we’re finally getting to know how great she is on her own. She dropped by to chat and play us some of her gorgeous songs.
Next in was a hot, up-and-coming roots-rock combo from Ottawa called Silver Creek. They’re young boys with a heap of talent and they showed off some of their great songs.

We’re on a roll with great guests as of late, and this week is certainly no exception. First up, a chat with probably the most important songwriter in my life, Ron Hawkins of The Lowest of the Low. He’s coming to town opening up for Billy Bragg, and he’s got a heck of a great new album to play for us, so we’ll chat about the past, present, and future. As if that weren’t enough, joining us live in studio is a band we’d never tell to go home, Sunparlour Players. They are without a doubt one of this country’s best live acts, and it won’t be long before they get the huge following they so rightly deserve. This week we’ll prove that we knew them “back when…”
