A nifty show hosted by Linda Cunningham in my absence.  Nice that she played some Art Blakey; I haven’t played any Art for quite some time.  Many thanks to Linda for taking the reins of BTT this week!

I’ll be returning next week, Monday, October 1, 10-11 am, 90.9 FM or cjsw.com, with a program of mixed tunes, both stylistically (as always) and date-wise (after three weeks of “all-new” shows).

A reminder also that the annual CJSW funding drive is coming soon. The shindig starts on Friday, October 19 and finishes up one week later, on Friday, October 26.  The Breaking The Tethers 2018 funding drive edition will take place on Monday, October 22, with me and Linda co-hosting, as we’ve done for the past few years.  Please join us! (And pledge!)

This was the third of three (in a row) "all-new" Breaking The Tethers episodes.  No Canadian content this week but there was the usual mix of styles along with a longer piece, "Ohoneotree suite" by Anteloper.

I'm off to NYC next week so there'll be no show for me on Sept. 24.  Linda Cunningham will be filling in once more and will do her usual fine job.  Linda will also be joining me on the Breaking The Tethers 2018 CJSW Funding Drive edition on Monday, October 22; more on this soon!  I'll be back behind the boards for the Oct. 1 program (which likely won't be all-new).

Playing catchup here, this is the podcast and tracklist for the Sept. 10 program. Like the previous week, I put together an all-new show featuring lots of Canadian content (6 of 9 tracks) and plenty of stylistic variation. And that is all (for this week... :-)

Happy labour day!  I hope everyone listening had a great day, whether or not they had to work!

This episode was the first of what's probably going to be at least a few "all-new" shows.  I've got loads and loads of newly-released (mostly) and newly-re-released stuff that I want to get on air, quite the backlog.  Accordingly, Breaking The Tethers will be in "new" territory for a while.  Gotta catch up!

Musically, I really dug what was played this week, from the crazed dance tuba of the Sons of Kemet at the start to the jazz guitar of Harley Card at the end.  I'm aiming for the same feel next week!

On that note, the next program will be Monday, September 10 (geez, September already!), 10-11 am MT, 90.9 FM or cjsw.com.  Please tune in!

PS On the recording, I cut off the few few minutes.  My apologies for this.  I believe the show is complete after this.

I was away for this program.  Linda Cunningham filled in and played this nice mixed bag of music, as per usual.  Many thanks to Linda!  She'll be back for more show fills for Breaking The Tethers in the not-too-distant future.
