Episode 3: Important Tips for Podcasters

hello

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.

Mulligan Stew July 22nd 2017- Bare Naked Ladies-Bruce Cockburn-Colin Linden Interviews

hello


 
 
 
“He’s one of them”
It’s the very special  Vancouver Island Music Festival. In Courtney/Comox. 
Very special because of the location and because of Doug Cox – the Artistic Director.
Doug is an artist and working musician.
So his knowledge of who’s making great music and who should be paired with who is bang on.
Artists want to play his festival because they know Doug will take care of them and their music.
He’s one of them.
That’s why you’ll find Emmylou Harris headlining.
Robert Randolf and the Family band headlining.

Barenaked Ladies return to Canada. The USA has had their attention for many years and the Ladies wanted to make up for that.
It’s possible there’s a generation that may not know they’re Canadian.
All four guys sat down and talked about how they dealt with losing Stephen Page.
(What that first gig was like at a small venue –  Universal Studios Los Angeles)
Their latest album is a session with The Persuaders, one of music’s greatest vocal groups.

We spend 30 minutes talking to and playing the music of BNL.
I had a chance to set up a rustic studio behind the main stage backstage area.
Rustic means
A microphone
A cable
A recorder
Earphones
A glass of water

Bruce Cockburn was the Saturday headliner.  He’s about to release perhaps his best album ever.
Bone on Bone is released Sept 15 with a collection of songs and riffs that amaze and delight.  Totally cool album.

We’ll run the complete interview closer to the release date but on this show we’ll play the first single States I’m in and, for the first time anywhere 40 years in the wilderness.

Colin Linden produced Bone on Bone.  They have been a musical pair for many projects and many years.  Colin takes us through a quick tour of Bone on Bone.
Also guesting are:

  • Steve Dawson
  • Peter North and Tom Coxworth
  • Rachelle Van Zanten
  • Doug Cox

July 22nd, 2017- The 4 “F’s”

hello

The 6th annual Friends. Fishing. Food. Fluids. With Rhys Pender. (MW-Little Farm)  Chef Mark Filatow (Waterfront Bistro)   John Weber (Orofino)

At Skitchine Lodge.   16 Lakes, 21 wines and 2 Tomahawk Chops.

Summerhill Vineyards receives 100 pts for their Ice Wine in SF.   We talk to Ezra Cipes  CEO.

THE SHOW

 

We THINK it’s the 6th  annual summer 4F trip.  No matter.  It’s still the most fun you can have in the summer.

Chef

 

This year, as last,  we head for Skitchine Lodge on the Bonaparte Plateau North of Kamloops.

You have fifteen lakes to choose from. In many cases you are the only boat on that lake.

Some lakes are catch and release, some you can keep 2,4 or 6 trout.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most guests never leave with a trout.

Perfect!

 

Yes,  it’s an excuse to go fishing but it’s also about food and wine.  And friends.

John, Rhys, Mark and myself all bring wines we think each other would like. As a result, we have far too many but they all get tasted.

Wines from all over the world. All over Canada and all over BC.

Chef Mark creates a meal that stays in the memory bank for a long time..and always includes two tomahawk chops from Two Rivers Meats. Always done over an open fire and always brilliant.

Our hosts are Mark and Tania Lee and this year Tania is the resort chef.

We talk to both about fishing and food.

 

If you EVER get a chance to visit Skitchine Lodge – GO!!!

Good for the soul.

Ezra Cipes – CEO Summerhill Winery

This very month Summerhill Pyramid Winery in Kelowna received a perfect 100 point score and double gold medal for its “small lot” Semillon ice wine from the San Francisco International Wine Competition. From a field of 4200 entries from 31 countries.

Ezra Cipes is humbled by the awards however he points out that you have to grow great grapes and have exceptional cellar habits to get a perfect score.

Ezra Cipes – C.E.O.

Summerhill is the same winery that earned the Canadian Winery of the Year award and also won the Best Chardonnay in the World at the Chardonnay du Monde in France with over 700 wines entered from 38 countries.

Ezra  and Summerhill exemplify  what it takes to makes great wine. Passion, smarts and a relationship with the Earth.

Is it the music? The weather? Moving outdoors as much as possible?

Whatever.
It all works. It’s Summer in Canada and the days are precious.

The music festivals are stacked up and ready to go.
I’m starting in Courtney Comox Northern Vancouver Island.
The vancouver Island music festival is fabulous.
In part because singer/songwriter and brilliant guitarist Doug Cox spends his year talking backstage to performers. Inviting them to join the music wheel.
From the line up We’ll play Emmy Lou Harris, bare naked ladies and Colin Linden.
I also have LIVE tracks from Dylan, Annie Lennox, Joe Bonamassa, Fats Domino, Eric Clapton (twice) The Eagle’s, Bruce Cockburn.
I hope to do an interview with Colin Linden and Bruce Cockburn. Colin produced Bruce’s new album Bone on Bone.
Got some Carl Perkins, Dave Edmunds and David Vest.

Enjoy your festival and Summer

July 15th, 2017 – BLOOM!

hello

 

We work the room at Bloom : BC’s VQA wineries all pour in the same space and time. It’s a wonderful crash course in our wine choices this year.

If you’re looking for your next favourite wine, this can only help!!

With a cider chaser in the last segment.

THE SHOW

 

BCs VQA wineries have been growing for over 25 years. From 17 wineries in 1990 to 275 as of March 2017.

And each year they welcome over 1 Million visitors.

So, when they gather to showcase their latest releases it’s a big deal. That’s why Bloom was held in the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Here are some facts before we work the room.

We produce 49% white grapes and 51% red.

Pinot Gris leads the  white way with 22% followed by Chardonnay at 20%

The reds are lead by Merlot at 30% and then its Pinot Noir at 21%.

Regions are growing as well  Vancouver Island, Gulf Islands, The Frazer Valley, Similkameen Valley, Okanagan Valley but starting to show themselves are Kamloops, West Kootenays, Lillooet, Prince George and Shuswap.

 

Lots to celebrate this year.

I decided this year to try interviewing the room Alphabetically. I failed miserably.

Also, I was looking for “principals” of wineries. Either owners, growers or winemakers.  If they weren’t pouring I kept walking.

Love my Cider – a special segment

I missed BC Cider Fest.  So this is a small but very interesting follow up.

Only two guests but they both have a cool stories

Left Field Cider is a family owned and operated craft cider company run by sisters Kate Garthwaite and Theresa Pedersen. Located on their family ranch north of Merritt, Left Field Cider produces full juice ciders which reflect the natural characteristics of the apples and pears from which they are made. There’s something openly honest and trusting about this family and their cider. It shows itself in the bottle.  Theresa does the interview.   LeftFieldCider.com

 

The other cider and its small company is so complex that I urge you to Google them  They’re called TX O TX which is Basque. Pronounced Choch.

They got our start in the Basque Country of northern Spain. There is a deep respect for local ingredients and traditional methods there. Dry and complex apple cider naturally fermented in ancient oak barrels, bright and cleansing Txakoli born along sea-swept cliff-side vineyards, and the world’s finest seafood hand-picked and preserved at the height of its excellence.

They understand that the most complex and beautiful products are made with a light touch and a whole lot of love for the land of their birth. Though they’ve expanded past the Basque Country they still carry their ethos.

Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night, Txotx Imports will transform Birds & the Beets into Orchard & the Sea; BC’s first and only craft cider house and restaurant. Committed to serving the best ciders from local and international producers, paired with expertly hand-crafted small plates.
Website: orchardandthesea.ca

The team is Kelly and Shawn Pisio and their chef and friend Michael Broadbent.

Shawn is our guest and storyteller.

Mulligan Stew July 8th 2017- The Protest Song-Special Feature!

hello


 
It all started with Stephen Fearing’s Blowhard Nation.
One of the first musical responses to Donald Trump’s  road to the Presidency.

Now featured in FYIMusic!  



Having been right in the middle of the 60’s musical revolution, lead by the songs of Dylan and voice of Joan Baez, I wondered where the voice of the music business was in the mix.
Many of the songs we’re playing now were written and recorded during the election process and now months of Trump in office.
Some of my questions were:
If there is a push back from the music makers where is it and who is it?
How did the election affect your new songs?
Is there room for protest songs in today’s music and radio?
I had no problem gathering replies. Everyone seemed to have an opinion.
 
So.  From 8:30 to 9:30  this Saturday our guests will be
 

  • Ron Sexsmith
  • Joel Plaskett
  • The Wood Brothers
  • Leeroy Stagger
  • Blackwell and the Rodeo Kings
  • Stephen Fearing

On The Juno Couch Calgary


tdm&CuddyI think it all started over several glasses of wine.. with myself and Jim Cuddy from Blue Rodeo
The Junos were coming to Alberta and I was trying to figure out how best to do interviews with  the artists.
As luck would have it I was staying at The Fairmont Hotel MacDonald in Edmonton and they had these glorious big old couches in the Lounge.
We asked for permission to move two together and place 3-4 microphones on the cushions so that talent walking by could pick one up and join us..
Turned out to be a lot of fun.
You got country singers..riffing with guitar slingers..and reggae tokers sitting in with Rockin Smokers.
Roots, blues and pop..all in the same space.
We tried it again a couple of years ago in Calgary..at Ruths Chris is I’m not mistaken.
This year..we go all out!
Right on the street outside Milestones in downtown Calgary..across from The Hyatt Hotel..
Mulligan Stew on The Juno Couch will be 4-6PM for this week only!!
 We’ll have that Juno Couch ready to go under the CKUA tents..
I believe there will be some bubble being poured and some tunes being sung.
Jim Cuddy is bringing his son Devin.. they will be my  co-hosts as long as they can stay.
Here’s the current line-up on paper!!  Be prepared for surprises and some rare moments.
