Mulligan Stew June 28th 2025-Celebrating Canada and Drummers! From Bonham to Animal!

Yes, I know it’s a weird mix.

A celebration for our beloved country and all the citizens who cherish this land.

But at the same time, talk to the director of a documentary called Count Me In. A celebration of drummers and drumming.

For this Stew, we’ll feature Roger Taylor from Queen, John Bonham from Led Zeppelin and Stewart Copeland from The Police.

The documentary has a stage full of drummers that we all know. It tells tales about their playing, their roles in our music, and whether they are really the engine that drives the band.

The Mulligan Stew Podcast has the complete conversation, and the video version is on tdm YouTube.

There are two donors for the Stew – and we thank them.

Hour two carries with it a wonderful tale of an Albertan (Bill) and a Mexican (Triny) meeting in Ensenada, Mx and falling in love.

He wisely stayed in Mexico.

 To stay in touch,  every Saturday they’d cook dinner up here and down there,  both families listening to The Stew and talking on WhatsApp about the music and songs.

Sadly,  Bill passed away this March, and the families are gathering in their kitchens this Saturday for an hour of music & memories!  We thank Bill and them.

We celebrate the birthdays of Robbie Robertson, Marc Cohn and Huey Lewis. We can also celebrate June 28, 1954, the very day Elvis joined Scott and Bill at  Sun Records to record the roots of rock.

New music from Van Morrison, Aysanabee, and  Kathleen Edwards.

Classics from Robbie Robertson and The Band, Arkells, Supertramp, Lighthouse, Marshall Tucker Band, Devin Cuddy Band,  The Beatles, Steely Dan and more.

Happy CANADA Day- All!

Coming Up – An interview with Tami Neilson in New Zealand. Also, about touring with Bob and Willie. Plus Tami’s new album, Neon Cowgirl.
