Last night was the long-awaited and much anticipated return of the Mike Plume Band at the Pyramid. Unfortunately, Mike went on well after my normal bedtime. That, plus the return to the working world this week had me feeling really tired, and a little punchy today. All of this is to make excuses for my silly behaviour and poor planning. Luckily, I had some great music on hand to cover for my ineptitude. The first hour was a little slow and sentimental, the second hour we perked it up with some rockin’ classics.

This past week the world was introduced to the next generation of Tell the Band to Go Home hosts, my son Jeremy. He’s been filling our home and our lives with joy (and plenty of noise…) ever since. THe bulk of the show was dedicated to him, with some great kids’ music.
We went to the other end of the spectrum for the latter part of the show, paying tribute to a couple of dinosaurs who are coming to town in the next while, Neil Diamond and Elton John.

It’s a good news/bad news kind of day. The good news is that there are some great upcoming shows featuring the likes of Elliott BROOD and C.R. Avery, as well as some great new stuff. Unfortunately the bad news is that lots of my new music comes from the closing out sale at Candor. When the bad news hit that they were going to be forced to close down for a while, it came as a shock, so I headed down to stock up on some things that I hadn’t made a point of picking up yet, but knew I’d better while I still had the chance. They’ll be back, bigger and better than ever, but in the meantime, thanks for the musical memories and best of luck!

By popular demand, Carter returns with more of his jokes and charm to brighten things up. We both head back to school after this weekend (where does the summer go), so we slipped in some back to school/work songs. Following that, some great new music, some great upcoming events, and whatever else we could squeeze into such a busy show!

Marc Guiguere, who is normally on the air before me, wasn’t coming in today, and Jared, knowing what a sucker I am, mentioned that I could come in early if I wanted to. I’m on holidays and haven’t been in the studio much lately, so why not? Marc’s show is a mix of blues and old rock stuff, so I tried to stick with that by hosting my own hour of blues and an hour of bluesy rock. It was a fun experiment, but I think I’ll stick with the singer/songwriter stuff.
And there was no shortage of good singer/songwriter stuff to play. I just got back from a trip to Hillside in Guelph, with stops in Toronto and Minneapolis, so you know that I have a ton of stories to tell and new discs to play. You throw in some info on upcoming shows and you’ve got a pretty solid show, I’d say.

Next week TTBTGH will be pre-recorded because I’m taking part in the MS Society’s bike tour, where I’ll be riding my bike from Stonewall to Gimli and back again to raise money for the thousands of Manitobans living with Multiple Sclerosis, and their friends and family members like me. The MS Society does great work to help, educate, and fund research into this terrible disease, and I’m committed to doing whatever I can to help them out. To that end, I brought in a box of CDs, DVDs, books, etc. and had my very first radio auction where listeners called in “bids” for the items. All money bid is donated directly to the MS Society, so you’re doing a good deed and getting some good stuff at the same time. We played an hour of music from some of the items up for bids, and an hour of great new music.
There’s still time to support my ride: https://msofs.mssociety.ca/2008Bike/Sponsor.aspx?PID=1060132&L=2&GC=ORS

I’m taking part in the MS Society Biking to the Viking event where I’ll be riding from Stonewall to Gimli on Saturday and then back again on Sunday. Although I do plan to be back by 2, you just never know, and I have a feeling I’ll be a bit tired, so I won’t be in the studio. There will be a pre-recorded episode for you to enjoy (it’ll be posted on the downloads page before then, so check back soon).

As I’ve mentioned to some of you, again this year I’ll be taking part in the MS Bike Tour to raise money and awareness for the MS Society. It’s a very worthwhile cause that hits very close to home for me. I could really use your support. I am humbled and honoured that some gracious friends/listeners have supported the cause already. Their generousity is so much appreciated, but I’m looking for as many folks to help out as possible.

This week on Tell the Band to Go Home, I’ll be having my first (and probably last) charity radio auction. I have a whole bunch of CDs, some DVDs, VHS, books, etc that I’ll be giving away in return for pledges to the MS Bike Tour. There are some great CDs (yeah, there’s some mystery junk too) that I’ll be auctioning off on the air this week. You can call or email in a “bid” on any of the items listed, and the highest bid gets the item (hopefully others will still be willing to pay…). ALL of the money goes to the MS Society, so no matter how much you pledge, it will help out. You can bid as much or as little as you want for as many items as you want. It’s all going to a really great cause.

Get in your bid now at: https://msofs.mssociety.ca:443/2008Bike/Sponsor.aspx?PID=1060132&L=2&GC=ORS

Folks who have already given a pledge can request anything they like. I’m still hoping to bring in some new pledges, but those kind and generous folks who donated previously will be looked after somehow, someday.

We’ll be hearing music from some of the discs being given away, including Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, Dustin Bentall, Scott Nolan, Teddy Thompson, Lyle Lovett, and much more. I’ve also got a ton of new stuff to share with you, so whether you’re able to bid or not, tune in.

Thanks!
