Ruby Slippers for Dec 1 from 5-6 pm

Hey everybody,

This list is going up really early as the rest of the week is insanely busy.  The show will air on Saturday Dec 1 from 5-6 pm for the last time, and then it's off to the next frontier of Friday from 7-8 pm.

To help close this chapter our good friend Laura Lawton, Voice for Hire, has returned with her rockin' best, and all things being equal, will be contributing a periodic feature entitled "In Profile" to the show. She is working hard to get interviews with notable musicians from all over, but with a particular love for those in the Canadian music scene.

Anyhow, here is the playlist.  I hope you will follow along with us on Saturday, and in absense of a farewell fruit basket, I offer an amazing and varied show for our listeners in this slot.

Hope you will make the switch with us, but remember, the show is posted at www.ciut.fm under the title "Ruby Slippers" for a week after it airs in case you miss it.

Here goes....

Blue Monday---Buke and Gase  (another fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Sandy from this duo)

The Weather---Butterfly Boucher

Six Barrel Shotgun---Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (perfect music for running FAST)

Waiting In The Hall---Gord Prior  ( a Laura pick and first interview)

Leave Home---Chemical Brothers

Zombies---Buffalo Brothers (another Laura pick)

Magic---Walk Off the Earth

Only One---Tyson and His Gameboy

Price Paid---Wax Mannequin

Star---Cuff the Duke

The Only One---One Tribe Nation (the final Laura pick)  (apparently there are two only ones)

Hot Kitty---Tricky Woo  (let's hope time permits)

Well, that's it.  Thanks for following along with me through the first timeslot, and please come by on Fridays.  There's always a surprise or two waiting for you.

Enjoy your weekend!
