I recognize, acknowledge, and appreciate my great privilege in life and am dedicated to helping others facing challenges. If I can use my platform to do some good for others, I'm always glad to do so. Today I learned about a great organization in our city helping people living with Parkinson's Disease. They run a powerful exercise-based program that helps improve the quality of life for people with the disease. They're holding a fundraising bike ride on Friday, August 1. I hope you might consider supporting the cause.

There's a great article in the Free Press today about it. I can't link to it, of course, but I'd be glad to send it to you if you'd like to see it. It's on the front of the Sports section if you'd like to locate it yourself.

Admittedly, time is short, so I don't expect to reach the goal set for me, but every donation helps, no matter how small. Even just spreading the word would be greatly appreciated!

Episode 1095

We've been on our joyful, annual trip to Static Roots Festival in Germany, thoroughly enjoying the people and music from so far away from Winnipeg. On this week's episode, I wanted to share some music from home with them. It's three hours of amazing music made by musicians from Winnipeg, and a few who came from elsewhere to utilize our talents and studios. I hope you enjoy this collection of music from home as much as I enjoyed putting it together!

This week's show was a fun one to put together, and I did an unusual amount of research and preparation because I wanted to do it right. I've been doing these hour long 4:00 Features for a while where I do a deep dive into someone's discography, but when I started looking at the long, long list of amazing artists that one particular Canadian music VIP had worked with, I knew it was going to take more than an hour for sure. Even in 3 I didn't get to nearly all of the projects and people that I wanted to include!

If you've ever met Dale Murray, you know that he's a pretty quiet and humble guy, but if he ever wanted to, he'd have a hell of a lot to brag about. Over the past 30 years, he's added his talents to dozens of recording projects. He's a versatile multi-instrumentalist who excels at guitar and pedal steel, a respected producer, a terrific singer and songwriter, and so much more. You catch him most often alongside his wonderful wife Christina Martin.

This show pulls together as much of his work as possible, including formative seminal East Coast band The Guthries, which launched the career of Matt Mays, his work with Cuff the Duke, and contributions to albums by a who's who of Canadian music.

I really enjoyed this show, and early reactions seem positive. Dive in, get to know Dale and some of the many musicians he's worked with, and enjoy!

I'm headed off soon to visit some amazing friends and musicians at Static Roots Festival, so no live episodes the next couple of weeks. Fear not, however, I've been hard at work preparing a couple of special episodes that will air on UMFM during the usual time and will appear in your podcast feed right away! I had a lot of fun exploring some themes that I'm excited to share.

Sunday, July 6: A deep, deep dive into the career and contributions of an underappreciated Canadian music MVP

Sunday, July 13: Although I'll be far away, a special show featuring music from home!

I hope you enjoy these shows almost as much as I enjoyed putting them together!

Unlike certain other radio show hosts I listened to today, I think that Canadian music is the best in the world. I guess that other guy just needs to expand his search a bit.

If you're looking for a bunch of great Canadian music, here's two hours of essential Canadian music that's as good as, if not better than, any songs from anywhere else in the world.

Singer/Songwriters, Sundays, 2-4 pm central!
