Playlist July 26 2010

Summer!  There's nothing quite like a 5:30 AM bike ride to the station to wake you up!  Once again it was a solo show as Camille was out of town on a 100km bike tour (or something crazy like that....kind of puts my commuter rides to shame).  Today's playlist is a list of new and old.  It also included a sweet 3-song set dedicated to all \you fabulous people who garden.  I am jealous of your talents and patience.  Keep up the good work and thanks for listening!

Playlist for July 5, 2010

Back to the gool ol' solo show - when I can get away with playing bluegrass and Swedish bands because Janelle's not in town.  Summer is the time for festivals, and Saskatoon just wrapped up a great 10 day Jazz Festival.  Last night's bluegrass performance by Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder was a festival highlight for me, and inspired me to dust off the banjo that's been sitting in my house and give it a go.  Be sure to hit up more of the local(ish) music festivals this summer, including the Regina Folk Festival in early August and the Ness Creek Folk and Bluegrass Festivals.
