This was the annual funding drive show for Breaking The Tethers. As with the past two years, I was joined by usual BTT guest host Linda Cunningham. We did what we said we were going to; we talked, we laughed, we played some tunes. I hope everyone enjoyed listening.
On the donation side, there were at least two pledges made while we were on air. Many thanks to Devin and Colleen (and any others) for their pledges! I won't know the final amount for the show until the after the drive ends; pledges can be made anytime for any show at fundingdrive.ca. Pledges can also be made by calling 403-220-5000, 24 hours a day until Friday, October 27, 6 pm. The total for the station as of about 10:30 am was $72,000 (it hit the $72,000 mark during Breaking The Tethers!).
I'll be back on air next week, Monday, October 30, 10-11 am MT, 90.9 FM, www.cjsw.com. It'll be a regular kinda show though I may end up doing an all-new release program. As I'll be away in Charleston, SC for the week, Linda will be behind the board for the Monday, November 6 show.

CJSW Funding Drive 2017 and Breaking The Tethers
Greetings.
The annual CJSW (www.cjsw.com) funding drive (FD) begins tomorrow, Friday, October 20, at 9:00 am. The FD is the week in the year when CJSW, Calgary's campus and community radio station, calls upon its great listeners for their support. For 2017, the main goal is $250,000; all of this money will go to capital expenditures, including technical equipment and special projects. There is also a "stretch" goal of $250,000 this year, which would allow for the purchase of a mobile recording kit.
The funding drive will end on Friday, October 27, at 6:00 pm.
For anyone who would like to pledge, you can call 403-220-5000 once the drive begins or go to fundingdrive.ca. There are some fine incentives at various pledge levels; check them out at fundingdrive.ca.
The Breaking The Tethers 2017 FD show will take place on Monday, October 23, 10:00-11:00 am, 90.9 FM, www.cjsw.com. I will be joined by frequent Breaking The Tethers guest host, Linda Cunningham. We'll chat and play some tracks off the mix CDs that will be available during the program (and all week, actually).
On that note, in addition to the station-level incentives, there will be three Breaking The Tethers mix CDs, each featuring music that has been featured on the show (I believe pretty much all in the last year, since the last funding drive). These CDs will be available at the $100 pledge level and higher. Here's what's on each one:
Please tune in during the CJSW funding drive this year. It'll be a great time and I'd love for everyone to join in the fun! Pledging is also strongly welcomed! :-)
Many thanks.

This was possibly the most straight-ahead edition of Breaking The Tethers that I've ever done. Well, it wasn't that straight plus I've been doing the show for 11 years and I've likely done a straighter one. :-) That being said, it was a bit more "normal" than usual. Nothing wrong with that, though. It was all good music, mostly new, and much of it Canadian.
Next week's program will feature Linda Cunningham as guest host. I'm away that day. Linda will do her usual great job so be sure to tune in, Monday, October 16, 10-11 am MT, 90.9 FM, www.cjsw.com.
Two weeks from now, on Monday, October 23, it'll be the annual 2017 CJSW Funding Drive show for Breaking The Tethers. I'll have more on both the show and the Drive soon but I will say that Linda will be joining me for this year's FD show once again! Also, check out fundingdrive.ca.

A solid show with some interesting music, I thought. The "bookend" for this program was two tracks from trumpeter Eddie Gale's first and second albums; "The rain" from Ghetto music in 1968 and "Look at Teyonda" from Black rhythm happening in 1969 (he didn't put out another record until 1992). Great, spacey stuff with groove.
On another note, I found out today that the CJSW Funding Drive 2017 page is up and running. Check out fundingdrive.ca. More on FD CJSW soon!
