Pre-recorded today because we’re off at the 40th Winnipeg Folk Festival! It was important to put together a show today, however, to expose the truth behind yet more Stu Reid lies, including the announcement of a July 22 Winnipeg show with Mary Gauthier, Scott Nolan, and Joanna Miller, and the truth behind Danny Michel’s real first appearance at The Winnipeg Folk Fest. New music! Mail Bag! More!
