I was blown away by the Great Wooden Trio at the Mariposa Folk Festival.  The Great Wooden Trio is actually has 4 members, an acoustic folk trio accompanied by a storyteller.  One of their two songwriters, Kevin Morse and I  talked about songwriting and passed around my  Ron Belanger crafted guitar in my favorite baseball dugout.

Ken Whiteley is an iconic Canadian roots music performer who is known for his versatility.  He is sought after as a songwriter, performer, producer and side musician.  He is adept in folk, blues, gospel, country, jazz and children’s music.  We sat down and shared a few stories and passed around my  Ron Belanger crafted guitar at the Mariposa Folk Festival.  Ken also shared about his good friend, Jackie Washington who had passed on just a week earlier.

You can find Ken’s music at kenwhiteley.com or on Borealis Records.

My guest today is a household name to 2 generations of Canadians.  Fred Penner is a children’s entertainer who had a long running program on CBC television throughout the 80s and 90s called Fred Penner’s Place.  His music has been a strong influence upon me and many other children’s performers.  I sat down with Fred in my friend, luthier Ron Belanger’s booth at the Mariposa Folk Festival.  You can hear a quite a bit of the vibe from the festival and the other vendors in the background. It was an absolute thrill having Fred jam along to For the Sake of the Song.  You can find his music at fredpenner.com or at Casablanca Kids,

Michelle Rumball has been a fixture of the Toronto Music scene for almost 20 years.  In the early 90s she was lead singer for folk-rock legends, The Grevious Angels.  She now writes and performs as a solo singer-songwriter, as a member of the new trio Beauty Saloon, and in a number of bands around Toronto.  I caught up to her at the wonderful Rockin’ The Cradle series of concerts promoted by my sister as a venue for people who love music with babies and young children.

This spring during Stellula Music in the Schools week, I asked Hamilton musician, Harrison Kennedy if Jackie Washington had been a musical influence.  He responded that his ‘Uncle Jack’ had been an incredible influence upon him, not just musically but as an exceptional person. I thought that testimony would serve as a fitting tribute to Jackie Washington.

Harrison Kennedy has had a long musical career, beginning as a member of the Chairmen of the Board in the 1970s, with pop music success.  After moving on from the Chairmen of the Board, he moved home to Hamilton and has carved out a reputation as a fine bluesman.  He has 3 CDs out, High Country Blues, Sweet Taste, and Voice Story.  His new CD, One Dog Barking. will be out in September.  You can order Harrison Kennedy’s CDs from http://harrisonkennedy.ca/.

On Friday June  we had a wonderful evening at the  Rye Cafe in Midland. My guests were  Marlon Gibbons, Jennifer Ives and Ken Allen. We will be recording two live episodes of For the Sake of the Song  then broke into a magical jam.  Most of the evening was streamed live over ustream.  I had several of my friends and listeners of for The Sake of the Song join us from all over Ontario and several in the ustream from all over North America.  It was a wonderful evening celebration of music and friendship.  Unfortunately, there were technical difficulties with the audio recording, so all we have recorded from the evening is a recording from the live video stream starting about 7 minutes into the interview with Marlon Gibbons.  Henceforth I will be refering to this as the famous ‘lost episode’ of For the Sake of the Song.  Enjoy a bit of what was a magical evening.

Update While writing this post, I relistened to the ustream video from the evening. The conversation and the energy was so wonderful that it overcomes the low quality audio from my webcam’s pinhole mic. So, I captured the audio from the ustream video and here is the audio of For the Sake of the Song 101– The Lost episode.

I’ve known Don Bray for about 17 years.  We met at an open stage, and I was struck by his insightful lyrics and virtuoso musicianship from the first time I heard him.  He was one of the first people I wanted to interview for my podcast but it took a couple years for us to connect.  It was worth the wait.  I think it’s fitting that he is my guest for episode 100.

We sat down in a quiet room during our songwriting group’s annual winter getaway weekend.  He was accompanied on vocals, Cello, and title reminders by Alyssa Wright.  Don and Alyssa are both solo performers but they have also released their first CD as The Brights: Live, Love, Dream.

Last summer,  I attended Podcamp Boston.  While Zina (from the Secrets of Battlestar Galactica Podcast) and I were walking in downtown Boston heading for lunch, we saw a beautiful young lady walking down the street talking into laptop held in front of her.  It turned out that she streams her whole life on the Internet.  Later at podcamp, I ran into her again and introduced myself.  She is Jody Gnant and she has an amazing story to tell about indie marketing over the net.  She actually traded one year’s rent on her house in Phoenix to Kyle MacDonald from one red paperclip for studio time to complete her album.  We talked at the end of a long day at Podcamp Boston about songwriting, new media, and took questions from her live streaming audience.   Check out her music and lifecast at jodygnant.com.

Long time friends of For the Sake of the Song may remember a show41 from January 2008 with  Corin Raymond and Sean Cotton: The Undesirables.  Exactly a year ago on April 29, 2008, I caught up with Corin Raymond again, this time touring with North Carolina Songwriter, Jonathan Byrd.  At the time they were just embarking upon a house concert tour of Canada together and were both preparing for the launch of new solo albums:   Jonathan Byrd’s:  The Law and the Lonesome, and Corin Raymond’s: There will Always be a Small Time.  We did the interview surrounded by twenty thousand records in  Jiving Johny’s basement.  The environment and the conversation were absolutely brilliant.  Unfortunately, the podcaster was not so brilliant.  I had the recording levels set too high and the quality of the recording leaves much to desired.  I kept putting off editing the show because of that.  In the end, it’s too good a conversation, and Jonathan Byrd is too good a songwriter not to share with you.  Please bear with the sound quality. It’s worth it.

This summer I volunteered at the open stage at the Mariposa Folk Festival. There I met Sean Peever,  a musician I had been wanting to hear for many years.  The two of us and Shawn Sage make up a trifecta of folksinging Seans in Ontario. For this episode, Sean and I both played a lovely handmade guitar built by Ron Belanger.  Listen for a twilight zone moment partway through the show when a fish falls from the sky.  I’m not kidding.

While I was compiling stats, I revisited my post, Milestones, from April 22, 2008 where I totaled up all my podcast episodes.  At the time I had produced over 236 audio programs.

In the last year, I have released 45 Episodes of For the Sake of the Song, for a total of 95.   I also produced 51  Episodes of Catholic Roundup podcast under 3 show names: A Catholic Canadian, The Catholic New Media Roundup and now Catholic Roundup.  We produced 4 new episodes of the Podcamp Toronto Podcast this winter for a total of 18 episodes.  I also released 4 special reports about Podcamp Boston 2 in 2007.  My recording of my brother in law, Drew Beatty’s podcast novel, White Trash Land has 23 sections. Drew is currently podcasting his second novel Lost Gods.    From 2006-2008, I hosted about 20 episodes of the Librivox Community Podcast.  I have also completed 115 sections of public domain books and poetry for Librivox.   I have 21 videos up on my youtube page.  There are probably a couple special one-off projects with groups like Twisted pines that I’m overlooking as well.  I also regularly record audio feedback for other podcasts and record concerts and demos for myself and others but have no accurate count of those, so I’m only counting audio and video I’ve released on the net.

100 audio and video programs that I have produced in the last 11 months for a total of 336 finished audio and video programs.

(give or take a few)

This month also marks the 2nd anniversary of  RussTV, my good friend Russ Clayton’s YouTube program for children. I have been on his show several times over the past two years.  I was on RussTV: Episode 4- Guiters and Banjers and Episode 9: Down By The Little Lake.

This week, we recorded 2 more public domain songs for Russ TV: Wild Mountain Thyme and Teddy Bear’s Picnic.  Enjoy.

Over 20 years ago, I worked with Steve Schellenberg for a winter.  Fast forward to 2000 and I became aware of his first CD through an internet mailing list. He performed a house concert at our home on November 5, 2000. At that time, I also wrote a review of his debut album, Here Goes. Over the past 10 years, I have presented Steve in my home several times and as a headliner at the Mundy’s Bay Folk Society, and he has produced 3 wonderful albums.  Steve has recently moved to the Ottawa area from Winnipeg.  It was a wonderful surprise when he emailed me a few weeks ago to say that he was doing a house concert in the next town over from me.  We had a wonderful conversation in my rec room. Enjoy.

You can find her on the web at makedataylor.com and at viralindie.com. Songs: Theme Music: For the Sake of the Song (copy;2003 S.

Tannis Slimmon has been an important part of the Ontario folk music community for many years.  I recorded her and her partner  Lewis Melville playing late at night on what turned out to be the last night of the Twisted Pines Festival.  The room where we were talking quickly turned into a jam with many of the festival performers the legendary Garth Hudson on accordion.  It wasn’t until several months later that I was able to sit down with her in her kitchen to record the rest of the interview.  Enjoy

I’ve known Carol Teal and David Joyce for over 10 years. We have shared stages together and enjoyed many musical gatherings together. After over a year of trying, we were able to record a session of For the Sake of the Song at the Mariposa Folk Festival. For this episode, Carol and I both played a lovely handmade guitar built by Ron Belanger. Dave played his custom guitar which as originally built for Smiley Bates.

We also discussed Carol’s work as executive director of ArtsCan Circle, a charity which provides musical instruments and musician mentors to children in remote northern communities on Laborador and in Quebec.

Earlier this year, I interviewed Washboard Hank, about his memories of Willie P. Bennett.

I was able to interview Hank at the Twisted Pines Music in Movies festival about his own music and songwriting. Washboard Hank is a Canadian folk music institution. He has released several CDs of quirky and humorous music, a Children’s CD and played for many years in Fred Eaglesmith’s band. Our interview delved into the meat of songwriting but also features some of his more adult oriented material so I’m putting an Itunes explicit label on this episode.
