Mulligan Stew June 6th 2015-Rare Tom Petty, The River and the Road Interview & More…
hello
For the first that I can remember, I’ve invited an artist to guest on the show two weeks in a row.
Must be some artist..right?
The Band is The River and the Road..and they are mighty good.
Their album is called Headlights..
I found John Hayes, bassist for the band and forced him to talk to me and answer searing questions!!
Such as ..
did you all busk together at the beginning?
You’re from the Salmon Capitol of the World – Campbell River?
Differences between Alberta audiences and The Coast?
Does he think they sound like Neil Young and Crazy Horse on Mistakes?
The experience of flying to Australia and spending considerable time playing there.
The other very special musical treat is a very rare piece of Vinyl from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
is a one sided Live Album from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It was meant as a radio Promo release and was issued by Leon Russell’s Shelter Records in 1977.
It was recorded at Paul’s Mall in Boston when they opened for Al Kooper Dec 12 1976. I was told once there were only 500 copies made. I’ve never heard it being played on anyone’s show before.
This is raw rock from a band about to step into history.
We’re going to play all four tracks..
Jaguar and the Thunderbird Ford – a Chuck Berry cracker.
Fooled Again – from their first self titled LP.. for most in the audience..its a new song because its only a month old. All Kooper joins them on stage.
Luna – also from first LP
Dog on the Run – over 9 minutes..classic Petty Riffs. Would show up later – rearranged and much shorter – on 1985’s Southern Accents.
Also one really fine found single..its a demo
From Jim Foster – called Radio ON.
Its starts Hour two..
I may keep playing it until it’s the summer hit of 2o15

About the River and The Road…
The River and The Road is a band built on risking new beginnings and telling their stories along the way.
After crossing an ocean, leaving a hemisphere, and a long stint hitch hiking across the American Southwest, singer/guitarist Andrew Phelan made his way to Chicago with the looming need to cross into Canada for work. He had two flight choices—Montreal or Vancouver—and flying west was cheaper. Once there, he found a healthy contest in singer/banjo player Keenan Lawlor, who had been playing around Vancouver for the previous eight months. Keenan had moved across water to forge a new path, but in his case, it was the Georgia Strait instead of the Pacific Ocean. In the beginning the two butted heads, seeing in each other the greatest competition for the attention of an East Vancouver open mic audience. Competition turned to collaboration, busking, and living on scraps together to make their musical existence possible. After several months as a duo, and experimentation with additional instrumentation, they recorded their debut eponymous twelve-track album. In the spring of 2012, the band emerged as a dynamic four-piece with the addition of drummer Cole George and bassist John Hayes.
In their short history as a band, The River and The Road has grown from a busking duo to an internationally touring quartet. Winter 2013 saw the boys working to stitch their name into the musical fabric of Australia, most notably in Sydney and Melbourne. The band has toured extensively across Canada, completing two coast-to-coast tours among many other regional tours. They are currently filling their summer calendar with festival dates and preparing for their third cross-Canada tour this spring in support of their second full length album, to be released Spring 2015 through MapleMusic Recordings.
Tenacity, heart, and above all else, a gripping live performance, the band has no plans of slowing down. Sincere storytelling mixed with strong harmonies, heavy percussion breakdowns and dynamic arrangements, embodies the sound of The River and The Road.

Mulligan Stew May 30th 2015-Madisen Ward Interview
hello
Special Guest Madisen Ward
Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear made their network television debut on the “Late Show with David Letterman.” The acclaimed mother and son duo performed “Silent Movies” from their upcoming debut album Skeleton Crew, which will be released on May 19, 2015 on Glassnote Records/Universal Music Canada.
After recently making waves at Lucian Grainge’s UMG Grammy showcase and last fall’s Americana Music Festival, the Kansas City-based duo will celebrate the release with a series of special tour dates this spring and summer, including performances at SXSW, Bonnaroo and the Newport Folk Festival.
RECENT CRITICAL PRAISE
“….created a sensation…sounded more Beatlesque than conventionally bluesy.”—NPR Music
“There is NOTHING more beautiful raw and perfect as Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear in this entire country right now.”—Paste
“…they sing some of the most honest and heartfelt folk music I’ve heard in some time. Everybody form a line.”
—WXPN’s 10 Artists To Watch in 2015
“…the duo’s raw, inscrutable chemistry was in full effect as they handily made a case as an inevitable force to be reckoned with in the days to come.”—Rolling Stone Country
“… absolutely blown away by this unique mother-and-son duo…”—CMT Edge
“…there is unique, intangible magic about them…”—Aquarium Drunkard
“…melodic and instantly engaging but filled with twists and surprises.”—The Kansas City Star
“The stage setup is simple—two voices and two acoustic guitars—but Madisen Ward has a voice as deep and sturdy as a storied oak tree. When he sings, it’s a bighearted burst that hits you square in the chest.”—The Pitch

THE SHOW
This time of year the wineries of the World are releasing various vintages and assorted varietals.
This week its New Zealand, Argentina and Italy.
(Next week it’s the First Families of Australian wine)
Our NZ guests include:
Robert Ketchin – Wines of NZ Canada
Rob Cameron – Invivo http://www.invivowines.com/
Martin Carrington – Wiamia Estates www.waimeaestates.co.nz
Jim Robertson Global Wine Ambassador – Stoneleigh www.stoneleigh.co.nz
Hawsley MacDonald – Te Pa www.tepawines.com
Alamos is one of Argentina’s wines to watch.
Alamos Winemaker Felipe Stahlschmidt finds inspiration for his wines by climbing the snow-covered peaks of the Andes Mountains and gazing at the majestic vineyards that have made Argentina famous in the world of wine.
Philipe Stahlschmidt
“The mountains here create the terruño, or terroir, in our vineyards,” Felipe says. “They keep the storms out of our valleys. They bring us pure water from snowmelt. They make the winds that cool the vineyards. They are an essential part of the nature of this place.”
Felipe believes that great wine represents the terruño of the vineyard. For him, Alamos wines, exuberant and full of character, are a beautiful expression of what nature and humans can create when they work in harmony. Felipe also works to create quality wines that are affordable and pair well with food, handcrafting each Alamos varietal using techniques typically reserved for wines at a much higher price point. The result is a flavorful collection of quality wines at an extraordinary value.
After graduating from the prestigious Universidad Nacional de Cuyo in Mendoza with a winemaking degree in 2003, Felipe joined Alamos as an assistant winemaker in 2006. Today, he oversees winemaking for all Alamos wines.
Alois on left with his family
Tatiana Nessier was born in Northern Argentina’s remote and breathtaking Salta region, well known for its concentrated wines and rugged landscape. After attending an American high school in Venezuela, Tatiana returned to Argentina to attend Congreso University in Mendoza, where she studied international relations. It was partway through these studies when her passion for wine took root.
Tatiana Nessier
“At Alamos, we get to meet and talk with some of the best winemakers and viticulturists in Argentina—so it’s very exciting,” Tatiana completed her sommelier studies in 2013 and received the title of international sommelier, endorsed by the prestigious CETT (Tourism and Hospitality University, Barcelona, Spain). “I really appreciate the philosophy of Alamos wines,” she says. “They are easy to drink, offer vibrant fruit and honor the typicity of grape variety and place.”
Alois Clemens Lageder – Born in 1987, Alois Clemens Lageder is part of the sixth generation to be involved in the family vineyard Alois Lageder in Alto Adige, Italy. Lageder’s wine education included travel to Germany, the USA, and France, where he also worked for well-known wineries such as Burgundy’s Domaine Marquis d’Angerville. He holds an executive Master for Family Entrepreneurship from the Zeppelin University in Germany.
Alois Lageder Winery – Alois Lageder is a synonym for the highest standard of quality in viticulture and winemaking, for a sustainable, holistic corporate philosophy, and for a wide spectrum of cultural and artistic activities. Founded in 1823, and now under the sixth generation of family ownership, the winery is committed to promoting biodynamic agriculture and embraces innovative ideas, as indicated by its newly constructed gravity-fed winemaking complex.
Alto Adige – Located between Alpine and Mediterranean climates, with winegrowing elevations that range from 200 to 1,000 meters (600 to 3,300 feet) above sea level, Italy’s Alto Adige region offers just 5,300 hectares (13,100 acres) of vineyard area but around twenty grape varieties. It is one of Italy’s smallest winegrowing regions, but produces a disproportionate number of premium, world-class wines.
… and finally Blue Grouse in the Cowichan Valley/Vancouver Island is opening a new facility which includes a beautiful tasting room.
Blue Grouse
Nestled in the heart of Vancouver Island’s Cowichan Valley, Blue Grouse is one of Vancouver Island’s first wineries, working with vines originally planted in 1977. The winery will also be releasing ‘Paula’, a brand new sparkling wine cuvée, named in honour of the owner’s daughter. Our guest is Winemaker Bailey Williamson.

Mulligan Stew May 23rd 2015
hello
The May 23rd version of Mulligan Stew is a birthday gift from our donor and his family to Ian MacLeod of Edmonton.
Last Saturday Ian turned 70 and his children wanted to dedicate the hour as a thank you for being such a great Dad.
Unfortunately, emails went missing and one didn’t get sent..that one was the most important.
So….this show is a make good..a re-do..a call to arms.
Ian’s daughter Chelsea sent this note..that turned the tide.
Check out the playlist..It’s Ian’s kind of show
Hey TDM, and thank you for doing such a fantastic show every week on CKUA!
“My name is Chelsea MacLeod. My lovely younger brother, Andrew, passed this email on to me with the message – “I did it last time. Your turn!” Ha. Ha. Anyway, I am thrilled to be in touch with you. I have long admired your work and your keen and open ear for music of all kinds.
Andrew was in contact with you about supporting an hour of The Stew in honour of my father, Ian MacLeod.
We (my brothers Jon and Andy and my sister Marhea) have done this a couple times before to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. No other gift seems to top it, so it seemed very fitting to re-vist this again for my Dad’s 70th.
Age is a funny thing and it can seem so arbitrary sometimes – like when discussing music – my father is 70 but he will listen to anything. You think he might be happy to stay in his comfort zone of the Stones and the Beatles and all those great bands of his era – I mean who wouldn’t be – he grew up with so much great music. However, as much as he loves those bands still to this day, he is always open to hearing everything and anything new, in fact, he goes out of his way to stay current. I love this about him.
Every year for Christmas he makes a mix CD for friends and family. If you heard this year’s CD, you would think he was a teenager! Again, his eternally youthful relationship with music is totally inspired.
My Dad played for the Edmonton Eskimos for 4 years in the late 60’s. During that time, he was exposed to R&B from many of his team-mates who came up to Canada from the States to play Canadian football. I love to hear his stories about the first time he heard the Four Tops, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, James Brown, Stevie Wonder etc. and how the R&B sounds blew him away. That music changed his life.
His father, Donald MacLeod, also had a beautiful relationship with music. My Dad grew up with the sounds of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald and lots of other jazz music my grandfather played on their cabinet stereo record player. Similarly, I remember every time my Dad brought home a new Michael Jackson record, or Prince, or Whitney Houston, or Al Green, Ray Charles – that music indeed changed my life.
I guess it only makes sense that his four children also have an intense love of music. On Saturday, during your show, we will all be there to listen and most likely, we will clear away the furniture for a dance floor. 🙂
If I could pick a theme for the night – I would ask for anything with deep soul groove – funk, R&B, blues etc.
Having said that, we trust you implicitly to put together a great hour of music. Like I said, he LOVES your show.
I am welling up with tears as I finish up this email to you. Nobody is more deserving of two musical celebrations than my Dad. It’s hard for me to say with words what an impact this man has had on all of his children’s lives. He is the most supportive, loving, and caring parent anyone could ask
for.
Thank you for your time and for your commitment to CKUA. They are really lucky to have you.
Thanks again, TDM! We are so excited for Saturday night
Take care,
Chelsea MacLeod”

9th Annual Spot Prawn Festival/Vancouver
It’s one of the best success stories anywhere.
9 years ago Chef Robert Clark was mad as hell and wasn’t going to take it anymore.
All he wanted to do was serve local Spot Prawns at C Restaurant.
None of the fishing fleet would sell him their prawns. That’s because they could get top dollar in Japan.
Robert got together with Steve Johansson and his vessel Organic Ocean and off they went..
Word got around very quickly that fresh prawns could be bought – live – off the False Creek Docks across from Granville market.
Everything took off from that moment.
Now..1000’s of people make their way there to kick off the season, which is very short. 4-6 weeks and it’s over.
Here’s who we talked to at the kick off last weekend:
Robert Belcham – Campagnolo
Ryan Bissell – Chair of Festival
Scott Yeager – Pear Tree
Jonathan Chovancek – Café Medina
Ken Liang – Ken’s Chinese Restaurant

“Seven Spoons is so gorgeous and beautifully photographed that I just want to jump right into the pages. I can’t wait to savor these amazing dishes, all with a global bent, starting with breakfast biscuits and spicy, fried Mexican Huevos a la Plaza de Mercado; then moving on to soups and salads with flavors culled from the Middle East and East Asia; then ending with lush, compelling desserts.”

Mulligan Stew May 16th – BB King
hello
“The blues was bleeding the same blood as me.”
-BB King
“When I eventually drop, I pray to God that it’ll happen in one of three ways: Firstly, on stage or leaving the stage, then secondly in my sleep. And the third way? You’ll have to figure that out for yourself!”
-BB King. (He chose Door #2.)
It took several days to record this week’s Stew..
Somewhere between segments 3 and 4..the world lost one of the greatest blues legends ever..BB King.
I know Holger will pay tribute to BB but I’m compelled to throw away the last 15 minutes of the stew and pay my respects.
The box set I reached for revealed a long forgotten treat..
The last time I interviewed BB King was 2-18-94..backstage at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver.
The date stands out because it was our son Fynn’s 12th birthday that day.
I also remember that BB was very reflective that day..almost melancholy.
I remember getting Choked up as he talked about “so much more to do”
That was the kind of man he was.
I couldn’t take my eyes off him or Lucille, his guitar just over his shoulder.
We’ve added a photo of the boxed set I found today and a message that Eric Clapton tweeted out..
I know EC is really going to miss BB – they were deep friends.
And BB was his teacher. He taught well.
Here’s to BB King and the music he left with us.
Play it. Remember it.
Thanks -TDM
