This week Andrea Berman of CiTR's "Pacific Pickin" kindly filled in while I was still in Scotland. (do check out their podcast if you love bluegrass) Andrea was recently in Nashville for the International Bluegrass Music Association awards so you'll hear a lot of hot new music from that on tonight's show. Enjoy, and mucho gracias to those of you who kindly dug into your pockets to help CiTR out with our fundraising drive!

Hey, I'm setting the podcast time markers from the wee village of Dalguise in central Scotland. Ain't technology great? This week you'll be hearing the dulcet tones of fill-in host Paul Norton. From the looks of the playlist he forwarded appears to have been a wicked good show! Thanks Paul and all you who donated to our fundraising drive!

Have a good one and welcome back to school, students!

Tonight's show was a mixed bag of blues, world beat, singer-songwriter - lots of new local releases. I'm off to the Edmonton Folk Music Festival this weekend, so should have a few stories from that for next week's show. Keep it real and stay cool, all!

Another lovely fireworks night here in Vancouver. Tonight's 8:30 interview was with Mark Davis, of Edmonton roots band Old Reliable. He's got not one but two solo CD's out and is coming to town soon.

Have a lovely and safe long weekend, everyone! Thanks again for listening..
