Stranger Songs with Mike Regenstreif – CKCU – February 3, 2026: A Tribute to Jackie Washington


Stranger Songs with Mike Regenstreif finds connections and develops themes in various genres. The show is broadcast on CKCU, 93.1 FM, in Ottawa on Tuesdays from 3:30 until 5 pm (Eastern time) and is also available 24/7 for on-demand streaming.

Theme: A Tribute to Jackie Washington (1919-2009).

Jackie Washington & Mike Regenstreif (2008)

Jackie Washington was a legendary Canadian blues, jazz and folk artist who died in 2009 at age 89. Jackie was born in 1919 in Hamilton, Ontario to a musical family and began his professional career in the 1930s as one of The four Washington Brothers. In the mid-1960s, Jackie began performing on the Canadian folk scene as a solo artist and was a great influence on many artists, and a great friend to many of us on the Canadian folk scene. It was a thrill for me to bring Jackie to Montreal to perform at the Golem, the folk club that I ran in the 1970s and ‘80s. From the 1990s until his death in 2009, he frequently collaborated with Mose Scarlett and Ken Whiteley and the last time I got a chance to visit with Jackie was in 2008 when Jackie, Mose & Ken were in Ottawa for a concert at Library & Archives Canada.

By the way, Jackie Washington should not be confused with the American folksinger and actor Jack Landron, who recorded several albums in the 1960s under the name Jackie Washington.

Jackie sang and played guitar and piano and during this show we hear some of his recordings and many other songs from his huge repertoire performed by other artists.

Stranger Songs with Mike Regenstreif – CKCU – January 27, 2026: International Holocaust Remembrance Day


Stranger Songs with Mike Regenstreif finds connections and develops themes in various genres. The show is broadcast on CKCU, 93.1 FM, in Ottawa on Tuesdays from 3:30 until 5 pm (Eastern time) and is also available 24/7 for on-demand streaming.

Theme: International Holocaust Remembrance Day.


International Holocaust Remembrance Day is marked annually on the anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau on January 27, 1945. During the Holocaust, more than one million Jews were gassed to death at Auschwitz-Birkenau. In these times of exploding antisemitism and other forms of racism and hatred, it’s important for us to pause and remember the lessons of the Holocaust when Hitler’s Nazi Germany systematically murdered 6 million Jews – about two-thirds of the Jews who lived in Europe. Many of the lessons of the Holocaust, and what led to it, are sadly relevant to what’s going on in the world today.
