I really can't express how I'm feeling right now... sad, excited, nostalgic, grateful and so many more emotions. It has been an absolute honour and pleasure to host the Wednesday morning Green Eggs and Ham from 6 to 8 every week. Not only that, but to be part of the Saskatoon music scene. The local artists that have come from this city are amazing and it is great to see more and more putting together fabulous music. I'm so proud of all of the musical talent from Saskatoon.

Saskatoon has been my home for 16 years after I left my small town for "the big city" and it has provided me with so much. It is a special city and my friends from across the country agree with that.

Saskatoon, I will miss you!

All songs are either local artists or artists singing about Saskatoon. Enjoy!

For my second-last show of hosting Wednesday 6-8am green eggs and ham I took a trip down memory lane. Songs that have been instrumental in my musical development and even life development. Thanks to all the staff at CFCR over the years that have been so awesome and for making me the Volunteer of the Month. It has been an honour being a host on this awesome radio station. Next week will be my last week. It is going to be an Ode to Saskatoon. Definitely listen to it.

After 34 years of marriage, my folks are still together and still love each other. They also know each other well. My dad texted me before 6:00 to request a song to send out to my mom, his "main squeeze." She knew exactly what song it was - Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm" (my mom's name is Margaret). It made me smile and a little sentimental. Very inspiring. Here is today's kind of V-day playlist with a playlist at the bottom:

2012 Favourites...

Happy New Year!

Hellooooo music lovers!
First off, I have to apologize to you all. As of today, I have not figured out my top 10 albums of 2012. You see, 2012 was a gong show year for me, my family and some very close friends. Needless to say, I am so glad that 2012 is over! Bring on 2013! For me, 2012 was a year that fell off the map in terms of music. It's a sad state of affairs and something that has happened since I was about, oh, maybe 15 years old or so. It felt like something was missing. So it is very difficult to pick albums from 2012 when I listened to (in depth) about 10 albums in total. A sad state, indeed. I may have to get the help from a friend or two to help me out, but that just hasn't happened yet. So we'll have to settle for playing music from 2011 and beyond... with some 2012 mixed in. Also, Happy new year! Hooray for 2013!

November 27, 2012 - Live shows trump albums?

This morning I was thinking about artists whose live shows are better than their albums. This isn't a slight at any artist and their albums, but a preference of me (and maybe others?). Here is part of my life (updated as people post and as I think of more):
The Sadies - their live performance is one of the best ever, but cannot be captured on album (not even their live album)
Hawksley Workman - he is such a performer and has a very dynamic personality that would be impossible to show on an album without all the other elements
Rose Cousins - her albums often include other instruments and voices, which I feel takes away from the power and beauty of her voice
Little Miss Higgins  - Her live performance marginally beats out her albums and is mostly because of her amazing ability to play guitar, her awesome outfits, her stories, and her playing slide guitar with a shot or pint glass!
The Weber Brothers+
Sunparlour Players - Nothing can compare to the amount of sweat that these guys leave on stage... two drum kits and a whole lot of heart and soul are shown in their live show. It's impossible to put that on a an album.

+ This was the comment from a friend of mine:
"I adore the The Weber Brothers live, but don't enjoy their albums. Too much editing, too clean a sound. I like their raunchy dirty sound, it's real, it's natural, it's what the blues are supposed to be. If they ever do a live album that might be something I'd be interested in, but as far as I'm concerned their albums don't even sound like them. Live they are too fabulous to be missed."

November 14th Playlist "say it in your mind until you know that the words are right"

This morning I woke up with a serious excitement about the show today. There isn't any particular reason, but I was excited to play music. Maybe it was because I promised Ishmael* that I would play some Shotgun Jimmie for his birthday or maybe it's because I was planning to play some Edith Piaf. It's probably for lots of these reasons. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the show this morning!

I awoke this morning realizing that it's Halloween and I didn't have a scary show planned! I don't do a lot of planning for my Wednesday morning shows, but I do have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to play. I put my "game plan" away and tried to intermingle some scary-ish songs today. I hope you enjoyed it!

October 24, 2012 Playlist!

This morning I learned something cool about Led Zeppelin's D'yer Mak'er - according to Wikipedia the title of this song is actually pronounced Jamaica! I seriously learn something every day. I also learned that the name I would like to use for a music twitter page is already taken! Ack! So do I register another name or do I wait for this person to be inactive for soooo long that it comes up? This is a decision that has to be made, albeit a very small decision. Happy winter everyone!
