It’s the sad anniversary of the death of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and few other musicians had such an impact on me as a kid, so a few songs to remember him by. I’ve got an upcoming musical voyage to preview/look forward to and a bunch of solid Steel Belted classics to bookend it all.

Podcast: August 23, 2015 – Lisa-Marie Serafin

Episode #605

Today, a special blast from the past episode as I’m joined by the person who gave me my start on UMFM and my time slot, Lisa-Marie Serafin. She hosted Songwriters’ Circle on UMFM bi-weekly, and I was her borad operator/co-host. When she moved off to Quebec, I eventually inherited the slot and have been firmly entrenched ever since. Before hosting the show, Lisa-Marie was primarily a fine singer/songwriter, and she’s slowly making a return to performing. It was a pleasure to have her back on air and in the booth after 12 years!
