Back live in-studio again for the first time in a long while, and rightly so, because a major music icon died today, and a tribute is definitely in order. We’ve got some Prince covers for you (as well as a dazzling display of his amazing guitar playing,) plus memories of the previous weekend’s Spirit of the West shows in Vancouver as well as a look ahead at an upcoming show in Winnipeg, as well as some great new music!
