On today’s show:
- It’s voting day! Get to it! Have questions? Look up the official site and get to it!
- And because the province is on my mind, I pulled up my 2014 interview with Michael de Adder about his his book of political cartoons, You Might Be From New Brunswick If…
- And because Harvest is also on my mind, we revisit my brief chat with Old Man Leudecke before his performance at Harvest in 2015. I paired that with Quiet Creek and Thrown By The Bull from two of his albums.
- Speaking of Harvest Jazz & Blues, it’s not happening — at least, not in it’s normal, large form. BUT, there are lots of local celebrations for our own home-grown, just-us version.
- Pallmer, Blue Lobelia & Kurtis Eugene will take the stage at The Cap Patio on Wednesday night at 7pm. See the Facebook event for more details.
