It all started as a Christmas Tradition many years ago at the CBC.
Christmas songs and stories exchanged in a studio with artists who knew and
respected each other.


were in that studio years ago and over the years
we’ve always talked about keeping that tradition alive.
(As always in memory of our producer Susan Englebert, who lost her battle
with Cancer)

When Barney Bentall started doing Christmas Food Bank Tours with his Cariboo
Express the possibility of gathering once again became a reality.
On the next Stew, a repeat of Christmas in the Round – Year One.  Recorded
exactly 3 years ago in the boardroom at Roundhouse Radio in Vancouver.

The Rounders are:

Shari Ulrich – iconic singer, songwriter, and musician.
Roy Forbes – Host of Roy’s Record Room and much-admired artist.
Barney Bentall – He’s everywhere and always making great music. Bringing
joy!
Shaun Verreault – formerly Wide Mouth Mason. String Slinger. Sings like a
bird
Jim Byrnes – St Louis born…West Coast raised. Carries the blues with him.
Good Actor.
Craig Northey – co-founder of The Odds. Touring with Steven Page. Gun for
hire. Solid Songwriter.  Wicked funny.
Everyone brings a favorite Christmas song and personal story to exchange.
Fun was had by all…  Hope you like.
Susan would have loved it.
