Hello to the elves and their elving assistants.

The Dec 20 Stew is Full On Christmas.

The second version of that Christmas special was called Christmas in the Round (Roundhouse Radio in East Vancouver)

Over three years,  in story and song, it featured Barney Bentall, Craig Northey, Shari Ulrich, Roy Forbes, Jim Byrnes, Shaun Verreault and many more.

Then the whole shebang arrived last Christmas on Mulligan Stew at CKUA  with guests .

Steven Page, Moe Berg, Chris Murphy and once again, Craig Northey

Like any good Christmas Stew, there are lots of ingredients for Dec 13!!

Huey Lewis is laying the doo-wop on Curtis Mayfield. It’s so good.

Mavis Staples

Jeff Beck

Neil Young – unplugged

Cream

Tedeschi Trucks Live

Jim Cuddy, Willie Nelson, Bahamas, Colin James, Mariel Buckley.

And the last handful of tracks from Abbey Road.

Christmas  tunes from

Norah Jones

William Prince

Marvin Gaye

Mike Farris,

U2

The Pretenders

The Pogues and Kirsty Maccoll, Darlene Love.

How on Earth can one properly celebrate a 40-year music career?

We’re showcasing Blue Rodeo – with separate one-on-one interviews with Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy.

Blue Rodeo and the guys have multiple Junos, Hall of Fame inductions, Orders of Canada, a really good documentary and just this year,  a beer.

To me, their high harmonies is the sound of Canada.

They started out as a hot bar band after returning from a disappointing series of months in New York.

New York said, “You can’t have two lead singers, and you can’t do country, rock and roots.  You must have a clear image of who the audience sees you as.

Back in Canada..none of that existed. We loved them just like they were !!

The boys knew where they belonged, and it showed up in the joy of their music.

This will be a shorter version of what the complete interviews will be – but the message gets through.

Donor-supported CKUA Radio just finished a long and strong Fall Fundraiser.

Due to the essential fundraising, we got backed up on The Stew interviews.

Which by way of letting you know we have two distinctive artists guesting this week on the Stew.

Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) joins the first hour and brings stories from his just-released My Second Last Album.
Afie explains he went from a full Nashville experience with Bootcut to a small shack-like building 30 minutes from his home in Nova Scotia. Just he and his buddy, who owns and built the studio for two.
It’s a collection of songs left over from Bootcut and several that just “showed up”.
Each one is unique and totally Bahamas.
Saturday he’ll be headed out the family door to tour Europe. 18 dates.  From Dublin, the UK, Belgium, Sweden and ending in Paris – as one does.

The complete interview can be found on the Mulligan Stew Podcast and Terry David Mulligan YouTube Channel.

The Hour Two guest is Juno winner  Aysanabee.

Touring at exactly the same time as Bahamas but much closer.

Nov 6 Edmonton
Nov 7 Fort Sask
Nov 8 Red Deer
Nov 20 Banff
Nov 21 Calgary

Then headed for the Okanagan, Vancouver and Vancouver Island.

Aysanabee brings songs from Edge of the Earth. On Ishkodé Records.

Formed by Amanda Rheaume and Shoshona Kish. One of the first indigenous and women/owned labels in Canada.

Just like Bahamas, Edge of the Earth is a collection of songs that didn’t quite fit into earlier albums. Aysanabee calls them “life’s mixtape”
Each is distinctive and well worth embracing.
The complete interview can be found on the Mulligan Stew Podcast and YouTube Channel.The rest of The Stew will be carried by donor music requests from the fall Fundraiser and my fundraising music wish list.

Check out the playlist…

New tracks from William Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Sarah McLachlan, Frazey Ford, Tedeschi Trucks Live with Leon Russell at Lock’n’. James Hunter Six with Van Morrison.

Classics from Tom Waits, Corb, Jim Byrnes, Steve Dawson, Bob Marley and The Police, Toots with Bonnie Raitt, Wood Brothers etc.

This is a Special Stew

The last Mulligan Stew before Fall Fundraising.

Both our interview guests, Mariel Buckley and Terra Lightfoot, are releasing new albums on Oct 17.

Because we’ll be fully into fundraising that day, they both agreed to allow us to play their album tracks a week early as part of the interview. We’ll be premiering 5 in total, including a wonderful version of Joni’s A Case of You from Terra.

Terra’s album is called Home Front – the key to the songs.

Mariel’s album Strange Trip Ahead is very different and gains strength with each play.

The complete interviews will be heard on the Mulligan Stew Podcast and the Terry David Mulligan YouTube Channel.

Joe Bonamassa with Susan Tedeschi/ Derek Trucks

Robert Plant

JD McPherson

Robert Plant

Dan Mangan

Classic tracks from Bruce Springsteen, The Meters, Little Feat Live, Stevie Ray Live, The Police, Elton John and the Sounds of Blackness, Grapes of Wrath, Derek Trucks Band, Aaron Neville and Mavis Staples. Also because they’re touring from coast to coast – this week in Alberta –  one great tune from Blue Rodeo.

We’ll start and end hour two with memories of Janis Joplin. Who left us on Oct 4th, 1970. 

I was in the right place,  at the right time. I got to play her music and see her shows and do 4-5 interviews. Man, we had fun.

She insisted I drink Jack Daniel’s with her before each interview. Partly because she was a little nervous around an interview microphone and because she loved to see me lose my way with two drinks in me.  It was her way of bringing the Mountie in me down a notch or two.

Interviews were filled with laughter. That’s what I can still hear all these years later. The laugh when she threw her head back and howled at the moon.

Miss her still. Janis was 27 when she died.  She had finally found her own band – and they were all Canadians. The Full Tilt Boggie Band. They all made Pearl together.

(With the great Richard Bell on Piano. He would later replace Richard Manuel in The Band)

Mariel  Buckley brings a new album, Strange Trip Ahead

And

Terra Lightfoot brings her new album Home Front.

Both are kindly allowing me/us to play the new music a week before release.
