Episode Notes

Three  Guests this week.

First is Jim Byrnes – longtime friend and keep of the blues.

He’s a singer/songwriter/actor and first chair storyteller.

Jim grew up in St Louis, Missouri listening to gospel, blues, and r&b.

Those influences stayed with him to this very day and they show themselves in his music.

Friday Jim is in Calgary at South wood

Saturday night in Edmonton at Parkview Community Centre.

TDM & David Gogo 2016

The second guest is also a long time friend and fine bluesman himself David Go Go

Crazy Dave is releasing his 15^th album called 17 Vultures.

It’s a mix of covers and blues standards.

He’s got a great band plus guests like Monkey Junk in studio with him.

We met and did the interview in front of The Modern Cafe in downtown Nanaimo.

The third guest is featured on Mulligan Stew PODCAST (Spotify, Google Play Music. Apple Podcasts)

He’s noted author Michael Barclay and he’s taken up the formidable challenge of capturing the life, times, music and stunning final tour of Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip.  Thus the interview we present is 50 minutes long and we still didn’t cover everything.

The book is called The Never-Ending Present:  The Story of Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip.

“ The story of The Tragically Hip is the story of Canadian Music. They taught us that there are no dress rehearsals, that the best time is always now, that we should be celebrating the next 150 years – and that we should embrace the never-ending present.”

FYI – the show starts with a wicked Ray Charles classic The Nighttime (is the right time) followed by Aretha, Levon Live, Molly Johnson, kd, Taj, Paul Simon, Tom Petty, Bruce, Wood Brothers, and new music,  Dangerous Heart  from Joey Landreth and Cold in the Summer  from Dan Mangan.

Have a great weekend…
