"Boogie Woogie Bass Man" (Podcast Title) Podcast Topic: Tonight was the eve of Chuck Berry's 90th birthday. Chuck had as much to do, if not more than anyone else, with the creation of rock n roll. There were white hillbilly singers before him. There were black blues guitarists with catchy songs before him. However when Chuck Berry played a mix of hillbilly songs (he could even yodel) and flashy blues guitar licks the black audiences apparently thought he was strange but they liked it enough to stay and watch... then white audiences started to dig on Chuck Berry. He went up to Chicago, played a few songs for Leonard Chess and the rest is rock n roll... So to tonight started with a tribute to the man, the King of Rock n Roll, still alive and turning 90.The first cut is a mix of 2 Dead tapes of the same show in Buffalo '79- one with the introduction and the other recorded with particular expertise. Played Chuck doing a live version of this song of his later in the show...Les Sultans' live version of Carol comes

Trade Song (Podcast Title) Podcast Topic: World Fiddle Day and Canadian Tunes Fiddles and string sections... For World Fiddle Day, coming Saturday May 21st... Local fiddle expert and driving force behind World Fiddle Day, Anne Lederman was kind enough to drop by. She talked about fiddle styles across Canada, at least from Newfoundland to Manitoba. Anne also recorded hundreds of Metis fiddle tunes on multiple occasions in the 1980s. Before the show we talked briefly about some of the hassles of preserving taped music, a topic I hope we might discuss some other time.On a taping related note, I described one Gaspe fiddler, renowned locally, especially in his native Douglastown. Erskine Morris recorded himself playing around Douglastown and the Gaspe peninsula from the late fifties to the early nineties. He played dances, parties, family reunions, all sorts of shows, and his wife copied his tapes and mailed to friends and fans of old time Gaspe fiddling. Copies of These tapes are scattered around the continent, p

"Happy Samhain" (Podcast Title) Hallowe'en week... And a nod to Roky Erickson...I talked just a little about the election, and a little more about Halloween- it's Celtic origins, and it's immigration to these shores, to the children and pranks, to Trick or Treat, which didn't happen until after World War II... Also some history of Jack o Lanterns, the legend of Stingy Jack, Toronto's Halloween brawls, devil worship and other Halloween fun... Then spoke a little about the Trans Pacific Partnership, this nasty, expansive trade deal that stands to criminalize a lot of Internet/ music related activity, and so much more...In the middle, I played a few Roky Erickson live cuts, some from the Halloween double l.p. on Norton, 1 from a tape I transferred to cdr many years ago, a live version of Heroin from about 1982, from NYC, and finished with a couple of cuts from a local appearance some years ago.Track- *Lutia and Paul Lauzon- The Undertakers' Ball*Fred Spek's Camp Combo- The Munsters*Parts Unknown- Supernatural?!?

"Who's that Bird?" (Podcast Title)Thanksgiving!I thought tonight would be a good time to work in some farming songs, harvest songs, food songs, family songs and the odd tokin' tune. For some background, I talked about the history of Thanksgiving, and the English harvest festivals that inspired our fall holiday.Also worked in a couple of ancient grain songs by way of a couple of folk songs, with a live rendition of John Barlycorn, related to the Indo-European myth of the dying corn god, whose remains we consume to this day...Finally, worked in a moment about Ernest Charles Dury, 8th Premier of Ontario, some of his policies and his opinion about moving the date for Thanksgiving Day. We have our own election in a week, all shows are pre- emptied next week for that reason...Track list-*Allan Capson- Down In The Boondocks (RIP Billy Joe Royal)Elvin Bishop- Fishin*Blue Rodeo- Stealing All My Dreams*Jarvis Street Revue- Uncle Benny*Swank- Hey Jeb*Wilf Carter- Waiting for the Maple Leaves to Fall*Ray Materick- This S

"Holy (4 day!) Week!" (Podcast Title)Here's to Holy-4-day-Week, for Christians, working stiffs and anyone else...I wanted to do a gospel history theme for a little while, as I haven't done one in a long time... Black History Month seemed like a good time, but other ideas kept coming like popcorn, so now let's enjoy some thumping, smoking gospel sounds and find out a thing or two about gospel music, it's relationship to established hymns, and such... I also talked about Thomas Andrew "Georgia Tom" Dorsey, Chicago's Pilgrim Baptist Church, Black Nova Scotian history, and more... As usual, things started off with a few Canadian selections including a Bob Burchill album with, uh, religious over-and-undertones, which I just picked up and a surprising jam from Measha Brueggergosman on a Jesus tip.Tonight we heard...Neil Young - Everybody Knows... / Winterlong- live in Cincinnati '70 from l.p.Perth County Conspiracy- Crucifixion CartoonBob Burchill (Perth County)- Different Ways, Will I Ever Get to Heaven?Ellen McIl

"Ontario Family Day International Black History Month" (Podcast Title)Black History Month continues... With some background on the dance/ church/ social scene in Southwestern Ontario, as I have been checking out the book Breaking Loose, about historic Black communities of southwestern Ontario, at the end of the Underground Railroad.For Family Day, that is today's legal holiday in Ontario, the rest of the music played will be from family relations, because, tonight, we are...Keepin' it in the family...Also, I put out some background on the Black Canadian Vinyl Rarity, Floyd Lawson and the Hearts of Stone - Comin Out, an extremely rare album I learned about after checking out the dodgy Canadian Racer comp... this is some Ottawa area funk via Philadelphia and Motown... I found a copy of the reissue, itself a rarity already with only 500 copies pressed, with Floyd's cooperation and consent on the Afrokat label.Also, thought I'd mention Claudette Colvin's mostly forgotten role in the Civil Rights struggle...And in

One of the great things about the new TIFF Bell Lightbox is that it’s not just a movie theatre. Well, it is a movie theatre. But it’s not only that. You know? TIFF could have opted to just run limited engagements and special presentations out of their new digs, but instead, the folks at the creative helm of the Lightbox seem determined to expand the menu of cinema-related goings-on in the city.In keeping with that mandate, September 2010 the Lightbox opens its hypermodern doors to venerable Toronto post-rockers Do Make Say Think, who will be performing a live, partially improvised soundtrack for Eric von Stroheim’s silent era classic Greed. With a curious and convoluted production history, von Stroheim’s film was kind of like the Dune of early Hollywood: an exorbitantly budgeted epic that was rumoured to once exist in a whopping ten hour cut.Detailing the corrupting influence of money (it never sleeps, you know) after a woman (ZaSu Pitts) wins the lottery, Greed remains one of the more hugely ambitious produc
