The annual CJSW Funding Drive (FD) is almost upon
us! This is an important week (probably the most important week!)
for Calgary’s campus and community radio station where we call upon our fine
listeners to pledge support to CJSW to help the station grow and develop for
the next year. Here’s the basics about the Drive for 2019:
*The Drive will run from Friday, October 18 at 9 am
through Friday, October 25 at 6 pm (all times MT).
*The Breaking The Tethers Funding Drive show will
take place on Monday, October 21, 10-11 am MT, 90.9 FM or cjsw.com. Great music will be played, I’ll chat about
CJSW and the FD, fun will be had, and money will be raised for the station.
*The theme this year celebrates CJSW as a radio space
pioneer: Interstellar Signals: Are You Receiving?
*The website for the FD is cjsw.com/donate
*The Twitter hashtags for the FD are
#interstellarsignals and #areyoureceiving.
*The goal for this year is $225,000.
*There will be incentives given as thanks for
pledging, at various levels. Check these out at cjsw.com/donate. As always,
there’s some cool stuff available!
*There will also be some show-specific
incentives. During the Breaking The
Tethers FD program, there will be several jazz CDs up for grabs (get ‘em early;
there’s only a handful). In addition,
there will be a special digital-only mix available. Here’s what’s in the mix:
Mujician – “Part 4”
Gerry Gibbs Thrasher People – “Dance of the freedom
people”
Chilly Gonzalez – “Blizzard in b-flat minor”
Bruce Cockburn – “The Mt. Lefroy Waltz”
Justin Kauflin – “Transition”
Zara McFarlane – “Woman of the olive groves”
Soft Machine – “Out-bloody intro”
Soft Machine – “Out-bloody-rageous, part 1”
Marc Ribot featuring Sam Amidon & Fay Victor – “How
to walk in freedom”
Amos Hoffman & Noah Lemish – “Eshal elohay”
Timo Lassy & Teppo Makynen – “Firebrick”
Jeff Snyder/Frederico Ughi – “Good knight”
Resavoir – “Resavoir”
Shirley Crabbe, Michael Arnowitt & ImproVisions
Jazz – “Against the wind”
Alfredo Rodriguez & Pedrito Martinez – “Super
Mario”
De Lorians – “Roccotsu”
Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters – “Blues for
Charlottesville”
These are all great tunes. Each one has been played on Breaking The
Tethers in the past year.
*You can donate online already at cjsw.com/donate.
