Mulligan Stew July 5th 2025 Donors with lots of music & memories. Guest is Chris Frayer from the 50th Winnipeg Folk Fest

I’m sure you’ve noticed that when our donors step forward for an hour of support, they bring with them their favourite artists and tunes that we have played over the years.
Many of their memories are tied to the tunes.  So, it gets personal.
Plus, as hosts, we get the best gift of all. Connecting with our listeners.
We have another two donors show this week.
Suzanne and Tim –  Canadians in Woodlands, Texas and Lorene,  who turned her love for a lost husband and the station into being a volunteer for CKUA.

(Chris Frayer)
