Mulligan Stew March 23rd 2024-A Spring STEW. Donor Driven with Summer Tires!!!

Episode Notes

As you may have heard, CKUA Radio is donor-supported. Closing in on 100 years. So when a donor steps up and supports us through a one-hour donation, we focus on what their message is and the music they like.

Tracey, the donor for the first hour sent forward a great wish list of tunes and artists and this fine message….

“Music was my constant companion growing up on a ranch West of Calgary. The story of a song is so very powerful and is something we carry with us for our entire lives. My husband  Kelvin and I appreciate the diversity of your network.   Saturdays (both day and nights) would not be the same without your station. We’ll be toasting you, along with all the other great CKUA donors and supporters.  Thanks for all you do.“

well, thank you. much appreciated.

Here’s some of what Bar Open A wanted to hear.  Corb, Dire Straits, Robert Plant/ Alison Krauss, Van Morrison, McCartney & Wings. Bowie to start Hour Two.

I left room to Rodney Crowell, Jerry Lee Lewis, and The Teskey Brothers.

A salute to Mike Campbell, leader of The Heartbreakers. His duet with Margo Price Light Me Up from Strays and co-writer of  Don Henley’s   Boys of Summer from First Aid Kit.
