Mulligan Stew Nov 25th 2023- Donor Driven & The Anniversary of The Last Waltz

hello

First-hour donors are a collective of family and friends who each contributed to honouring David Westelmajer. Long-time donor. Teacher, father and artisan who worked in mud. Hand-shaped and spun pottery.
I could tell how important this was and how much David was loved by the 8 pages of stories and moments I received.
He was a huge fan of CKUA and his family asked that donations in his memory be sent to several charities and social artisans including CKUA Radio.

I’m grateful they asked The Stew and CKUA to be their voice.
(David was a serious listener as he worked his pottery and listened daily. He decided that if he had to work in his studio but could look out at the World around him, he’d like to look at the Pacific Ocean and so he and his wife Jane ended up living at the very southern tip of Vancouver Island.
Their very first date was a Buddy Guy concert. The second was Moe Koffman.


We’ll also look back at Nov 25 1976 and the final concert by The Band at the Winterland Ballroom in SF. Called The Last Waltz.
New music from the next two guests Devin Cuddy Band And The Matinee, Van Morrison, The Hip, Sam Roberts Band, Dan Mangan, and Rhiannon Giddens.
Plus Clapton. Ry Cooder And the Cooder/Lindley families, Randy Newman goes full Muddy and finishes with the last 8 songs on Abbey Road.

EP 171 | Remembering Charlie Watts and The Last Waltz. Plus My Name is Suzie Ungerleider

hello

Every once in a while all of the planning goes OUT THE WINDOW.

This week’s Podcast for example.

I always knew there would be a complete interview with Suzie Ungerleider (Oh Suzanna). Her new 10th  album is called My Name Is Suzie Ungerleider and the story behind the title tells quite a tale.

The music is the best she’s ever released.  So, the complete interview and tracks as well.  Suzie closes the podcast.

Also this week, I was doing interviews with Barney Bentall, Colin Linden, and Russell Broom about their involvement in Remembering The Last Waltz.  Four nights of celebrating The Band’s Last Stand almost 45 years ago.

Sept 2 & 3 Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

Sept 9 & 10 Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

Before we shared memories of The Band we talked about the passing of Charlie Watts.  Legendary drummer for The Rolling Stones. His effect of The Stones and on us is remarkable considering how quiet and gentle he was. As large and loud as all The Rolling Stones were, it was Charlie that held it all together, on stage and off.

So..we start this Podcast by remembering Charlie Watts, then  The Band, and celebrating Suzie Ungerleider.  Busy week.

Cheers Charlie..
