Episode #1126

An exciting show announcement, new music, tributes, and we jump in the time machine and revisit 1991 in honour of the 35th anniversary of my first date with my amazing wife Nicole! Skipping that concert turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.

Episode #1122

Jeff Robson, Dietmar Leibecke, Leeroy Stagger in Germany, June 10, 2016

New music & festival confirmations & dreams to start, then we play the 2016 game by looking back 10 years to a time when life seemed a little more simple and hopeful. I don’t know how or where this 2016 trend started, but it was a good opportunity to look back at a very busy year with some real highlights. On today’s show, we looked at highlights of shows & festivals, at least one disappointment, a few I couldn’t attend, and a few that I can’t believe I missed out on.
