Episode Notes

These next two shows were done the day a text arrived saying that our good friend David Ward have been moved to palliative care in his fight with cancer.  David was/is/will always be the heart and soul of CKUA. We all respecfully waited for David’s family to decide when to announce this tragedy.

We will salute him here in several weeks. When I’m able to form words and express myself.

I was wobbly with the news. The shock and sadness of it all.  So the music carried the day.

The Stew Oct 1  – A Remembrance!!

It’s been 5 years this weekend since Tom Petty died.

Our donor Michael Witt had suggested remembering and celebrating Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

I played some of his strongest songs and also several of those artists who covered his tunes.

Including John Cash, Walk off the Earth, John Mayer, and The Wilburys.

New music from Dan Mangan, Allison Russell, Dr John, Mellencamp, Whitehorse, Snarky Puppy, Lake Street Dive, Dr John, and Lukas Nelson.

We finish the Stew with two songs for my true friend  David Ward. One from  Tom Petty (You and I will meet again) and another by Paul Simon  (Bridge over Troubled Water –  Live)

*Play it for David

Onward my Friends. David Awaits!
