Hi Friends,
I’ve been so overwhelmed by the great, thoughtful feedback I’ve received from the folks who have responded to my listener survey I mentioned earlier in the week. I really value your comments and suggestions, and will do my best to make the show as interesting and relevant to you, but I need to know what you like and what you want. The responses are surprising, enlightening, and oh so interesting. I’d love it if a few more of you took a moment to fill it out. I promise to get Best of CDs out to survey respondents first (ok, as part of the very first wave, anyway), and with any luck, that will be very soon, so get your responses in. I’m also going to put together a few CDs to give away to a couple of lucky folks who fill out the survey, so leave contact info if you want in on either of those deals. The survey can be done anonymously and all questions are optional.
If you have a few moments, please visit the following site:

Any feedback (even negative) is VERY helpful and MUCH appreciated. The goal is to give you more of what YOU want, so here’s your chance to speak up.
Thanks, now back to work on those CDs…
The staff at TTBTGH is hard at work putting together this year’s Best of compilation, and that, as well as the end of a year and looking forward to a new one, has us looking back and wondering how we can make things even more useful and interesting for you, the listener. Before we put it all together, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Of course, you’re welcome to email or call us any old time, but we (who the heck is we… who am I trying to impress? I’m a one-man operation.) have also designed an easy survey that you can fill out anonymously if you like, so that we know what you would like on the show and what you think of the compilations.

Thanks, we’ll (uh, I mean, I’ll) get back to you soon when the compilation is ready.
Christmas time’s a comin’, and that means that we have to do our best to prove that not all holiday music stinks. It also means that we have to work on our “best of” lists for the year, so we ran down some contenders. And, just before the year ends, we had to squeeze in our (almost) annual visit from local singer/songwriter/super guy, JP Hoe to chat about his upcoming Hoe Hoe Hoe Holiday show. He also, yet again, has some dazzling new songs to play.
Special guest co-host Elysha joins us today for some extra fun & festivities. We played some fetive songs, some requests, some of our favourites, and whatever else came to mind. We also had the official phone-in poll to settle the debate about “Canada Day/Toronto,” no matter what that other guy says.

A busy night with some very special, very exciting guests, live in-studio. First up is the wonderful artist behind one of this year’s most beautiful albums, Rose Cousins. Her voice and reputation have been well known to us, since she’s appeared on dozens of great albums that we love, but we’re finally getting to know how great she is on her own. She dropped by to chat and play us some of her gorgeous songs.
Next in was a hot, up-and-coming roots-rock combo from Ottawa called Silver Creek. They’re young boys with a heap of talent and they showed off some of their great songs.
