New Year, Old Skool – A Desmond Howl Production
December 30, 2004
4:00 – 6:30 pm central time

A new year is of course a great time to look ahead to the future, but I’d rather linger on the past for a while. As we prepare to move on to a new year, I took the opportunity to take a walk down memory lane, and revisit some of the music that mattered most to me before I became the old folkie that I sometimes seem to be today. My musical coming of age came in the early 90s, and was largely a result of hearing much of the music that was played on this very special broadcast.

Even Desmond Howl gets in the Christmas spirit once in a while, and so we enjoyed a rare afternoon of Christmas favourites. Not all Christmas music is cheesy, as we proved today.

Also, we finally caught up with Vancouver roots-rockers Swank, who gathered around a speakerphone for a wild and entertaining interview.

The best of 2004 continues, as we planned to speak with a couple of great acts that call BC home. It's always great to introduce Winnipeg to great artists, and I'm so glad that we got to hear some of the great music of Bruce Knauer and Swank. We were supposed to do interviews with both, but those pesky time zones got in the way, and we got our wires a bit crossed. I called Bruce and got him out of the shower to do an interview, but Swank was MIA. We'll try again next week!

I always have fun doing this show, but rarely so much fun as I did hanging out with two truly great people who play truly great music. I've been a fan of Michael Johnston and Reid Jamieson on their own, but seeing and hearing them perform together live is an experience unto itself, and one that I won't soon forget. They came in for a set of originals and fabulous covers and lots of fun.

A couple of interviews with a couple of guys who are planning a whole string of shows in Winnipeg this upcoming week.

First up, Michael Johnston, who's from Toronto but wisely makes Winnipeg his home now. He has a great new disc called "Curious Heart," and he dropped by to share that with us, and discuss "Boys Play Girls," the amazing fundraising event that he's hosted for the past couple of years.

Michael is also responsible for bringing to Winnipeg one of my favourite new discoveries of 2004, Reid Jamieson. He'll be in town for shows Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and as if he weren't going to get enough of Winnipeg, he took time to chat on the phone with little old me.

Seems like no shortage of amazing shows going on in Winnipeg these days. Almost every night there's something I'm dying to see. And even though I try to have interviews with some of my favourites coming to town each time, I can't fit them all in. Would have loved to talk to Stephen Fearing or Ken Whiteley, both of whom will be in town this week. Instead, we were introduced to a couple of new favourites on the show. In town tonight opening for Serena Ryder is a Winnipeg boy named Lindy. He stopped by for a few live songs and some conversation. Almost a week ago, I had the great pleasure of meeting and interviewing a very promising young singer/songwriter named Charlie Mars, when he opened for R.E.M. at The Concert Hall. We heard that brief chat on the show today.

Today a visit from Winnipeg's own JP Hoe. He's far too humble and modest to admit it (right, JP? He’s telling me what to write.) but he's well on his way to becoming a big star some day. His perfectly crafted pop songs belong on radios everywhere. Truly a world class songwriter and performer with a great attitude and an amazing voice.

The truth is, I keep inviting him on the show only so that when he becomes a big rock star, I can make money selling these live appearances on ebay!

For the most part, the same show that you know and love (I hope); new releases, upcoming shows, the best shows of the past week, etc.

In the last half hour, however, one more valiant attempt at converting a whole new crop of Rheostatics nerds. Can't wait to see that band again, October 30 at The West End. Of course, some small-minded folks can't wait 'til then because it means I'll stop playing so much Rheostatics on the show. Small minds probably don't deserve to be enlightened, but I try!

The Fred Eaglesmith "Will He or Won't He" Show

Listeners to this show know that one of my favourite singer/songwriters of all time is undoubtedly Fred J Eaglesmith. And he's a fascinating guy, too. So I've always wanted to have a long talk with him and get him on the show. Well, for one reason or another, whenever I've tried to connect with Fred in the past, it hasn't happened. This time, he was in Winnipeg on a Sunday, so I wasn't about to let him get away so easily. I thought I had it all lined up. But, did he or didn't he show?

Also on the program was a special live in-studio visit by American singer/songwriter Josh Ritter. He's currently on tour with Sarah Harmer, and he was nice enough to stop by the studio to talk, perform live, and play some songs from his great new album "Hello Starling."

There's a bountiful treasure of interviews waiting to behold, on this International Talk Like a Pirate Day, mateys.

First up, we set our sights on the good ship David Francey, who sails these seas on Tuesday with his good crew, Kevin Welch, Kieran Kane, and Fats Kaplan. That land lubber was wantin' ta talk about his new CD, The Waking Hour, too. Well worth following a treasure map for.

Next, we spotted some scurvy dogs setting sail for Winnipeg's muddy waters tomorrow night. Carolyn Mark & Ford Pier were aboard to wager a peace treaty. At ye old High & Lonesome Club, they'll hitch their boat and unload a big chest o' golden songs along with their crewmate Geoff Berner.

Recently, our crew pillaged a bounty of new music, including CDs from the likes of Mike Plume, Nathan Wiley, Luke Doucet, Chuck Prophet, and more. We'll be crackin' a big bottle o' rum and sharin' some chanteys from them salty dogs, too.

Well, blow me down! If that ain't a richly rewarding sail on the good ship TTBTGH, methinks I'll just have to walk the plank!

This week, I'm all giddy with glee about being the cool kid on the block with all of the hot new releases, most of 'em before anyone else. Sometimes being a radio weasel has its perks. But don't worry, I’m not one of those mean kids who picks on others who are less fortunate; no, in fact I couldn’t wait to share these new releases with the listeners.

Last week we had hoped to hear from Kevin Welch to discuss his great new album with Kieran Kane and his work on the new David Francey CD, but it was not meant to be. This week, we got our act together and connected for a fascinating talk.

Well, just one more pre-recorded show for now, I promise. I'll be back in the studio live next Sunday, but this Sunday I have another great excuse for missing the show, the Regina Folk Fest. I've told you all about how great the lineup is, so you'll excuse me for not being here live this week, especially after you hear the show I've got planned out. It's a good one. Lots of great music, of course.

One of our favourite bands around these parts is the mighty Nathan. They've got a brand new record coming out and it's a fine one. The CD release party will be on August 26 at the West End. Looking forward to that, we'll hear some brand new Nathan. In fact, we'll go back in time to July 6, 2003, when Nathan was live in the studio playing some brand new songs and chatting and having fun. If you missed it the first time 'round, you'll want to hear this. Even if you heard it, you'll want to relive the memories. It was a great show, I know you'll enjoy it.

What's this? Yet another pre-recorded show? Yup, this week I'm off in Brandon checking out their great folk festival and getting away from all of the things I have to do here. But, the show must go on, and I've got a lot planned for TTBTGH while I'm away.

I love telling you about upcoming and recent concerts in town, and there are a TON to discuss this week. Today's special guest interview is with a guy who's playing at the Collective on Wednesday, a rockin' young singer/songwriter from Victoria named Leeroy Stagger. He's an interesting guy and has a great CD to boot.

And, looking ahead to next week, what's that on the horizon, another pre-record? Yup, next week I'm off to that hot vacation spot, Regina to see their great folk festival. I'll tell you what's in store in case you want to call the travel agent and meet me at the resort.

Don't worry, I'll do another live show, someday.

August Long Weekend, fun in the sun!

What's this? Another pre-recorded show? This is becoming a bit of a habit, Robson. Why, yes, I'm not in the studio live this week for TTBTGH, but I've prepared a dynamite show in my absence. I'll tell you all about my excuse for missing the show, the great line-up of music in Gimli this weekend, and of course relive some of the great memories of last week's Calgary Folk Fest. We'll also look forward to the reason I'll likely pre-record next week as well, The Brandon Folk Fest. Yippee.

Desmond Howl’s Canada Day Spectacular
July 1, 2004
2:00 – 6:30 pm central time

It’s Canada Day, up Canada way and the timing was right for a celebration. A celebration, of course, of the greatest nation on the planet, but also a celebration of some of the greatest music ever made. I’m indeed a proud Canadian, so perhaps I’m a little biased, but the truth remains that my favourite music of all tends to come from this country. No other country can boast such an impressive lineup of artists that I love dearly. So, what better way to celebrate Canada Day than by playing hours and hours of great Canadian music.

It was also a perfect time for a little bit of nostalgic reflection, as I celebrated my 3rd anniversary as a show host on UMFM (for trivia buffs, I had been a behind the scenes board operator for a few months before that). On July 2nd, 2001, I hosted the first of Desmond Howl’s Canada Day Spectaculars. As if that weren’t reason enough for a little look back at the past, I officially went “over the hill” this week, and turned 30. Yippee.

Pretaped. Part 2 of the second annual Tell the Band to Go Home Invitational Event. This week’s guests were Stu Reid, host of CKUW’s Twang Trust, and the new artistic director of the West End Cultural Centre, Dominic Lloyd. If anyone knows music, it’s these two guys, and they put your humble host to shame with their extensive knowledge this week. Good to have ‘em on the show, but glad they won’t be back for a while. They reveal me for the amateur that I really am, when they’re on the show.

Pretaped. Part of the second annual Tell the Band to Go Home Invitational Event, where I invite other local music fans to come and program the show. This year, there were twice as many weeks to pretape, so more guests and more fun. I always learn a lot by inviting new people to play songs on the show. Just when I think I know just about everything about singer/songwriters, I’m humbled by the talents of my guests.  This week, I was off with my co-hosts on Steel Belted Free Range Radio (www.steelbeltedradio.com) to see Steve Forbert at Hugh’s Room in Toronto. What a road trip.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, through the miracle of modern digital recording, I was joined on the show by Jenny Western, host of Hit the Big Wide Strum, Pal, CKUW 95.9 fm’s weekly bluegrass program. Judging by her appearance this week, she knows a heck of a lot more than just bluegrass.

A bit of a mixed bag on the show today. First off, a cool new CD of love songs called Sweetheart. Then, I indulged myself with a little bit of upbeat, fun pop music to warm things up on a miserably cold (but beautifully sunny) Winnipeg winter afternoon.

My special guest today was Matthew Barber, a very promising up-and-comer who was recently signed to Warner Music Canada and is heading out on a tour that brings him to Winnipeg Jan. 27.

Last, but certainly not least, a celebration of two wonderful years of music. There are many benefits to hosting a radio show, but the best one of all is getting to make some really wonderful friends, which I've been lucky enough to do with three very talented ladies from Winnipeg. The Wailin' Jennys started out innocently enough two years ago when they got together for a one-off show at a tiny music store on January 18 and 19, 2002. Just before those concerts they made their first ever public appearance on UMFM and I was lucky enough to be a part of that program. Last year on January 19, they came back for a wonderful 2 hours of music to celebrate their first birthday as a group. This year, they're very busy preparing for the release of their forthcoming full length CD which will be released on Jericho Beach Music soon. Unfortunately, that meant that I had to have a birthday party for one, but I hope that they took the time to celebrate how far they've come in two years. Congratulations, my friends, and here's to many more years of making magic together.
