A fair amount of Canadian and playlist tunes this week (Ready or not 2 is exploited twice for another week). A few favourites make their appearances here, including "Peace one" by John McLaughlin, which I've played at least one since this time.

I also got some phone calls this week, pretty much the first I'd received. Most of them were telling me how to pronounce Krzysztof Penderecki's last name. I still don't think I've got it right but this is a never-ending problem; I regularly pronounce names incorrectly. I've joked on air that if I ever take a wrestling moniker, it should be The Mangler for what I do to jazz performers' names.
