CKUT Bluegrass & Country hours

Sunday July 12, 2009 – 7:00-9:00 pm

I made a rare return to live radio to guest-host the Bluegrass Ramblings and Country Classics hours on CKUT (90.3 FM in Montreal).

This program is available as a podcast (for two months) for streaming or downloading at

http://secure.ckut.ca/64/20090712.19.00-21.04.mp3

The program begins 18 seconds into the download.

This program was dedicated to the memory of the late jazz broadcaster extraordinaire Len Dobbin who passed away Thursday at age 74. Earlier today I was privileged to participate in CKUT’s special five-hour homage to Len.
