What does it mean to be “spiritual”?
A working definition might be: “searching for those things which help give your universe meaning”.
Perhaps you could even find such things embedded in music and art. That’s the goal of the workshop “Beginning The Spiritual Journey” coming up on October 31 and November 1. My guest today is Professor and President Emeritus of UNB, John McLaughlin, who has been working to encourage a series of discussions, workshops and events around the notion of spirituality. We talk about his own journey, his hope for the workshop, and the details of music and art that will be the focus on this upcoming event.

Today’s guest in the first half of the Lunchbox was Keith Lyons, author of the Children’s book ‘Alex’s Perfect Fish’, which is his second children’s book.
Keith is well known in the local community for speaking on Mental health issues and both of his books were written while in recovery. His message of “Keep going, keep trying” helps to inspire others who may have wanted to give up while dealing with their own mental health issues.
‘Alex’s Perfect Fish’ was inspired by his real life friend and mentor Roy and his Son Alex.
‘Alex’s Perfect Fish’ can be purchased online at: www.keithlyonbooks.com and is also available at
New Westminster books -445 King St. and Chapters in the Regent Mall.

I am continually amazed with the complex creations that can come about from simple things like wooden boxes filled with metal strings being hammered by mallets under the direction of finger presses. The piano is, at is essence, a simple thing, but artists turn it into a vehicle for incredible beauty and sophistication.
One of those artists will be in town next Wednesday (Oct 21): Bogdan Dulu is a masterful musician, and will be conducting both a master class (open to all audience) and a performance (ticketed) at Memorial Hall next week, as part of the ongoing Music On The Hill series from UNB. Sarah Beth Shiplett from Music On The Hill is my guest today, talking about this pianist’s anticipated demonstration of very complicated performance pieces, the master class that comes before it, and the work of composers and performers.

While I was away with Neighborhood Watch, the cats will play!
Steve ‘The Buzz Man’ Dunnett had on as a co-host Mr. Roger Jean, host of CHSR-FM’s epic Blues program ‘Rosie’s Juke Joint’. I have no idea what they played, but I heard something about Les Nesman of WKRP fame was also on the show… Though I think he’s dead…
Anyhow! Hopefully things will be returning to normal soon, as you all know UNB V-Reds Hockey has started up, so some Crazy Train shows air at 4-6PM when there’s a home game and our normal time slot of 6-8PM when there’s no game on.
Coming up, I’ll be away the weekend of October 24th as the Wasteland Zombies will be playing the annual Fredericton Zombie Walk to raise money for the Fredericton Food Bank. After that, no plans to be away!
Coming up this weekend the show will start off with an interview I did with Vancouver ‘stone’ Rockers ’88 Mile Trip’. Though the band did not play Fredericton, they were on a cross country tour and needed a place to crash over night. 88 Mile Trips drummer Eddie and I are good friends. I met Eddie when he played in a band called KOOZNETZ who were managed by former Beverly Soul Crusher bassist Geoff Vereschagin, who one day ran at me on the streets of Burnaby, thrusting the KOOZNETZ CD in my hand and saying, “You totally look like someone who’d love this band!!”. We’ve been great friends ever since.
We’ll also be playing some Canadian crazy Metal off of a compilation on vinyl I picked up called ‘Nuclear War Now’. Plus some other local and non-local Metal bands I’ve been meaning to play for weeks now!
Please share our show with all your Metal loving friends and if you’re a band or know of an Indie – Metal band in Canada that should be heard make sure you let us know! With that, if you have a METAL related event coming up, by all means let us know about that too!!
You can send your info to: musicdirectorATchsrfm.ca! Have a great rest of the week and Steve and I will be screaming at you this weekend at 4-6PM since there’s a home game for the UNB hockey team!

Authors are often asked, “Where do you get your ideas?”
For some, it’s from gentle nature, or from friends and family.
For Len Falkenstein, inspiration came in part from the tragedy of Lac Megantique — and the outrage that it ever happened.
Len Falkenstein is the author and director of Lac/Athabasca, a new play that has been shown in BC and Ontario and now comes to our very own Memorial Hall on October 14 to October 17. He joined me today along with two of the actors from the show, Alex Donovan and Jean-Michel Cliche, to talk about the experience of writing and staging this play, the challenges of the interspersed storylines, and playing multiple characters.

There’s often nothing more absurd than normal life — particularly when you can filter out all the other bits! The new production Vigil comes to the Theatre New Brunswick stage on October 22, and my guest today is Thomas Morgan Jones, the Artistic Director at TNB. We talk about the process of getting ready for this play, the unusual two-week run coming up, and the success of his recent workshops.

October has always been a great month for the imagination. One of the greatest holidays which promotes the use of the creepier side of your mind’s dreams comes at the end of the month, but this year we get a special bonus: the ENBICON game convention combined with CAPITAL COSPLAY!
The annual ENBICON gaming convention returned from the dead last year, and repeated this trick in February of this year, and now has a second edition in what might become it’s regular spot, in October. And this time, it combines another great local festival of creativity, the CAPITAL COSPLAY.
My guest today is Julian Christie, one of the organizers of ENBICON. We chat games from Pathfinder to the Artemis Starship Bridge Simulator, from war machine mecha combat to Star Wars miniatures. I (Mark the Encaffeinated ONE) am going to be running a game at the convention, and I hope many others will check it out.
