We all lost an outstanding man this week and many of us lost a friend.

John Mann, frontman and co-writer for Spirit of the West

There are many many people in this country dealing with heavy hearts because of John’s death.

He was a rock. To his beloved wife Jill Daum and their children.

We will remember John on Saturdays Stew . It won’t be just once… I’ll play his/their music as long as I’m able.

We also salute our radio neighbor Holger Petersen from Natch’l  Blues.   The Stew has only been around for 24 years.  Double that with Holger.

Dude is an audio marathon runner.

TWO guests this week

Marcus King – is only 23 years old but he started playing guitar and singing when he was like  6 months old.  OK..maybe 3 years old but he was YOUNG.

Marcus has a new album coming – Eldorado – and we’ll talk about it and play some tracks.

(The complete interview can be heard on Mulligan Stew Podcast – Spotify. Google Play or Apple Podcasts)

And the final guests are Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole from TSN Sports Center.

Love these guys..we have talked  Super Bowl and Grey Cup for a couple of years now. But we do it through food, drink, music and personal hygiene!

For your dining and dancing pleasure here’s the complete playlist
And finally the last guest on this Grey Cup Weekend. Jay and Dave.  Sorry Dan
