Theme: Marking 30 Years on Community Radio.

It was exactly 30 years ago, on January 16, 1994, that I began hosting folk and roots music shows on community radio stations – at first on CKUT in Montreal, and now, on CKCU in Ottawa. I’m marking the anniversary with a sampling of a few of the songs I played on the radio in 1994.
