The last Summer Stew plays like a time machine.
Thoughts on the lives of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Frank Beard (ZZ Top)
And blending old blues and old musical instruments of India, for example. Finding the connection between the two.
Friday, brilliant Gulf Islands string specialist Harry Manx released his 22nd album, Falling Upwards.
The titles give a hint at what Harry’s been creating.

For many, this music has enough heart & soul to be worthy of your favourite Harry Manx album, which is saying something.
He’s making a solid place for himself on the Blues and World Music stages and will be playing over 80 dates on the first leg of his next tour.
Here are some dates you might want to be aware of:
Sept 5 Okotoks
Sept 6 Lethbridge
Sept 8 Blairmore
Sept 9 Medicine Hat
Sept 11 – Calgary (two shows)
Sept 12 Calgary (two shows)

Then off to Australia and New Zealand.
The complete interview will be happily featured on the Mulligan Stew Podcast.
First hour donors are Bob and Barb Shaunessey- long-time supporters who recently made an inspirational gift of $100,000, noting it aligns perfectly with CKUA’s 100th anniversary in 2027.
Barb loves the music of Huey Lewis, so a double shot of Huey kicks things off.
Paul Simon live
Dominique Fils-Aimé
Robert Plant and Saving Grace
Ripple (live) from Phil Lesh and Friends – from the concert Dear Jerry!
Derek Trucks Band – Keys to the Highway
Got to Move – Mavis and Levon
Ray Charles and a final Huey Lewis
And that’s just Hour One
Hour Two begins with memories and music of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Frank Beard from ZZ Top.
“I’ll be like Bob Hope, touring when I’m 100. I love being busy. … I will never retire. I hope to fall dead in the middle of some great event or some great song I’m singing. Then they’ll say, ‘Oh well, she went happy and doing what she loves.’” (April 2004)
Sheryl Crow and Jessie Wells
Keb’ Mo’
Lee Michaels
Jerry Lee Lewis
The Harry Manx interview has three Harry tracks from Falling Upwards.
Gonna have to serve somebody (Dylan)
Step Softly
Pork Pie Turban
And we finish with Dolly Parton – My Tennessee Mountain Home – Live From London
“Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as she ever could… Dolly, we’ll miss your great heart.”
Jane Fonda
