This is an interview with musician, talk show host, and author Jim Chapman. Jim has been a professional musician for almost 60 years, having played with Rockabilly King Ronnie Hawkins and opened for international acts like Sly and the Family Stone and Ocean. He was a very popular radio and TV talk show host and newspaper and magazine columnist in London, Ontario for a quarter of a century before retiring in 2017.

He has written several books, both fiction and non-fiction, including "Come Back To Life" about his near-death experience at the age of 50.

This is a wide-ranging discussion. As fascinating as Jim's life has been, with numerous accomplishments, he is very willing to share his take on many topics. We get into politics, culture, education, spirituality, journalism, and you name it. Jim was very open and frank with us.
