Last week we were joined by a legend who’s just about done it all, and this week, it’s a newcomer with a very bright future. Ridley Bent stopped by to chat and play us some of his heart breaking country songs and even one of his great “hick hop” numbers. This guy is great, so check this one out.
Paul Kelly!
We’ve been lucky on this show and we’ve had more than our fair share of great guests live in-studio, but this week, we topped them all. We were joined live by perhaps one of the greatest songwriters on the planet, all the way from Australia, Mr. Paul Kelly. He and nephew Dan Kelly were in town to promote Paul’s great new album Stolen Apples with a show at the Royal Albert, but they were gracious enough to stop by the studio first to chat and play a couple of songs.
Our 4 hour year-end marathon where we laugh and listen and send out the old year and ring in the new one. We listened to some of our favourite music of the year (and some old classics). Of course, it was also a chance to dig through the mail bag and check out some of the terrible music that gets sent in every year and encourage some of those people to maybe consider other career options.

I couldn’t make it into the studio this week, but I couldn’t take the risk that one you might accidentally miss out on the great shows going on this weekend, so I put together a 90 minute infomercial designed to help you avoid certain embarrassment in case you missed out.
In the first part of the show we take a listen to an interview I did with the legendary Steve Forbert a couple of years ago before he played the Folk Festival. He’s coming back to town on Saturday for what is sure to be a great show.
In the second part of the show we travel back in time again to 2004 when Winnipeg’s own Scott Nolan dropped by to chat and play some songs that were new then and just now seeing the light of day on his brand new record which will be released on Friday at the WECC. As if that weren’t exciting enough, he’s bringing along his producer and friend, the legendary Gurf Morlix!
Don’t miss these shows.

The Journey Home
This week I’ve been away on a bit of a road trip, and if all goes well, I’ll either be home or well on my way by the time this show airs, so this one’s a bunch of songs about home and coming home. It’s nice to get away, but it’s always good to come back home, as these songs remind us.
