Testing For Echo – Episode 27 – Across the Pond – Orig. Air Date June 24, 2023
Hi again everyone.
Welcome to Episode 27 of Testing For Echo on CHSR 97.9 in Fredericton and around the world. I’m your host Tim Scammell.
For some reason this episode has a more British feel than others. I could be off base but I just had that vibe as I was recording it.
Maybe it’s a combination of the Steve Hackett, Deep Purple, Robert Plant, and Jon Anderson.
No worries though. There’s still plenty of Canadianity in here.
Just press that little arrow down the left of the page to listen/download the podcast.
Take good care and enjoy!
Tim
