Playlist for September 29 5-6 pm

Hey folks,

Here is this week's playlist for Ruby Slippers!

It's a spectacular day in the city and I have to admit, this playlist is the bomb, just the thing to get you all juiced up for Nuit Blanche!  So...while you get your zombie on, or fuel up with dinner and a nice glass of something in preparation for the all night party, enjoy the tunes!

As always, any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Hey everybody!

As the 30th anniversary of David Bowie's iconic album, "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars" has arrived, Paperbag records has released a cover album of the songs FREE to its supporters and music lovers everywhere!
Here is the link:  www.download.paperbagrecords.com/free/PaperBagRecordsvsZiggyStardust.zip

I would heartily recommend you treat yourself to this download, and also check out the other free downloads from the artists on PBR.

Gotta fly, folks.

See you Saturday, same time, same station (CIUT 89.5 FM)

(If you listen on line, the website has been down for a week or so but you can listen in real time  on Streema.com)

Later, gators.

UPDATE for September 22

Hey everybody,

It's official.

The show is called RUBY SLIPPERS so click your heals and enjoy the ride. I promise you won't be sorry.

Thanks for listening, and stay tuned!  I am coming back with a vengence!

Announcement. BIG NEWS!!!!! for Saturdays

Hey everybody!

Although the Guelph Jazz Festival this weekend and personal business next weekend will see my absence from the airwaves, never fear.  As of September 22, this timeslot, 5-6 pm Saturdays, will the the permanent home for yours truly.  HOWEVER, it needs a name.  And believe it or not, that's a lot harder to do than putting a show together.

Any thoughts?  You have been listening for the past three months, and your input is very valuable.

This is really exciting and to be honest, rather frightening... in a good way.

Next week, another programmer will be trying out their wings so give them a chance, and come back for the official kickoff.

Thanks for your support and of course for listening.

SEE YOU ON THE 22nd!
