How lucky can you get. Not only do I get to host the daily morning show on Canoe Fm, I also get to talk to some really interesting people at our 8.10 am slot. Next week is shaping up to be a dandy.
Monday I’ll be chatting with the new airport manager of Stanhope Airport, Duane Hicks. Duane and his family have a really interesting aviation background and Duane was in the TV series Ice Pilots NWT. Despite his misgivings he agreed to be on the show and he was the new guy, shaking things up. We’ll chat about his life and times and welcome him to the Highlands.
Tuesday we have Pat Martin, Dysart et al’s very capable Director of Planning and Development, and Councillor Andrea Roberts to chat about the Cultural Mapping Project taking place in Dysart and the visioning session coming up Thursday of this coming week at Fleming College, the School of The Arts, in the Great Hall.
Wednesday, wow, we have Sheila Carabine of Dala chatting with us. Juno nominees and winners of the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year,these two ladies have made an incredible impression on the Canadian music scene. They will be appearing at the Red Umbrella Inn, Saturday, January 23rd. I so love their music. This is a treat.
Thursday, maybe Friday, we’ll have one of the Marigolds as our special phone guest. Gwen Swick, Suzie Vinnick and Caitlin Hanford, three of Canada’s top singer/songwriters, have combined their talents to form the Marigolds. Accompanied by drummer Randall Coryell, the Marigolds are part bluesy, part jazzy, and part traditional country and bluegrass, specializing in angelic harmonies and gutsy playing. Their big show will be at the Northern Lights Pavilion on Sunday January 29th, 2 to 5 pm.
We’re still sorting out for our fifth interview of the week … but I just know it’s going to be fun and interesting.
Phew!
No wonder I need a weekend off. This volunteer stuff is a killer. All kidding aside, I hope you can join us for these interesting people next week on Canoe FM, 100.9 or at www.canoefm.com.
