Our Story
Each week a theme. Than a reach into my deep pile of music and out comes a bunch of cuts that wouldn’t normally be played together. A little chater and voila!
Lately I record my show at my home near Silva Bay.
I used to drag my tired body down Gabriola Island, wait for a ferry, ride a ferry, walk through Nanaimo, jump into the control booth and go live to air for one hour playing the music that I love. Now I whittle it down and make a podcast(coming soon) so that you can enjoy it at your leisure.
