It’s time once again for UMFM’s Pledge-O-Rama, the one week of the year where we ask for your help. In order to keep the station functioning the way we’d like and to make necessary improvements, we need an infusion of money that we hope you will be willing to help provide. More importantly for me, however, it’s the one week where I get to learn some of the names of the people out there listening in. We truly have no idea who’s listening or how many of you there are unless you let us know directly, and this is the best way to find out. Your donations, large or small, all show that what we do is important to you, and that means a whole lot. I adore putting together this show every week, and I’d gladly do it just for myself, but knowing that it means something to you is very rewarding and it helps motivate you to make the best show possible.

As usual, the show includes a bunch of new music, memories of a truly great concert last night and we look ahead to a busy week of shows here and elsewhere. We also spin some classic Winnipeg music that doesn’t get played anywhere other than on campus & community radio.

We’ve also got a new interview with one of the greatest songwriters in Canada and one of my true heroes, Ron Hawkins, all about the new album from The Lowest of the Low, which is truly exciting. We’ve even got some tracks from the upcoming album to debut!

Thanks for all of your support. If you didn’t get a chance to donate during the show, Pledge-O-Rama is on all week and you could help us get to our station goal.

Join me Friday morning from 6-9 am for Mudge in the Morning!

Some new music and some new magic courtesy of Dagwood Radio (Wednesdays, 6-8 on UMFM), a local show to look forward to on the horizon, and a pile of great music and great memories I was lucky enough to experience at the wonderful Regina Folk Festival over the years. The festival recently announced that it would not be returning, as was hoped for this year. The festival existed for over 50 years and despite being a smaller festival in a smaller city, it was known for daring lineups, female-first programming, diversity, and memorable collaborations. I’m grateful for the good times I had there in 2004, 2005, and 2012, and today’s show featured a lot of highlights from those festivals.

A bunch of great new music today including a couple of exclusive tracks from an exciting upcoming all-star album release featuring women and gender-diverse artists covering homegrown songs. The album, “HER (204): Stories Of One Great City Revisited,” will be released next Sunday at The Park Theatre. This got me wanting to explore some of the talented women performing at the show and on the album, as well as other female talent from Winnipeg and elsewhere!

A bunch of new music to start, then we bid a fond farewell to our longtime friend and show favourite, Del Barber, who is wrapping up his “Last Kick at the Can” tour with two big hometown shows this week. I’ve seen Del a lot of times in a lot of places over the past 14 years. Whether solo or with a band, he’s one of the great live performers, and his albums have all been mainstays on this show. If this truly is the end of his music career, we wish him well and look back at some magical moments and great achievements. Thanks for the music and the memories, Del!
