On today’s show:
- Today is Sugar Cookie Day. It… doesn’t seem as inspiring as most days, so let’s remember that this is also Plastic Free July, ok?
- Very happy to get back into the habit of talking to people again! Yesterday, I caught up with Len Falkenstein about the NotaBle Acts 2020 Theatre Festival, which starts on July 23. We talked about the evolving challenges in putting together an event in the midst of a pandemic, and some of the exciting plays you’ll get a chance to experience, both in person, and virtually.
- I also included a brief conversation I had with Old Man Leudecke just before his performance at Harvest Jazz & Blues 2015, and couldn’t resist but include the fun, hopeful Joy of Cooking from his 2006 album.
- Lainie B from Monday night’s B Street joins us again for another segment of Positive Songs For Pandemics to present Nada Surf‘s So Much Love.

- Certified returns to Dolan’s Pub this Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 10pm.
- Peter Hansen and Andrew Kenney will be playing at Charlotte Street Arts Centre at 7pm on Thursday night. Tickets are $15 at the door and limited, so arrive early!
