Paul Anthony - Underwater Starlight Canadian
The debut of Cutting So Fine as an opening show theme for Jeff began on September 28, 2017. So, that means 8 years ago this week! I did not actually know the exact show that I first used the theme song until I began digging into my volunteer show host history on the CKCU On Demand database. Here's a link to that program https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/468/34272.html If you advance to the 5:57 point of the program to hear the first time it played, and host Jeff's acknowledgment of it's debut. So happy we get to thank to Paul Anthony on today's show. Start following Paul's project, "Touched Fables" on Bandcamp to pre-save their new album dropping mid-October. https://touchedfables.bandcamp.com/album/a-thousand-goodbyes-2

Tomorrow is BandCamp Friday!
The first Friday of each month, BandCamp shares a much larger percentage of their earnings with the artists. To my knowledge, no other digital streaming platform does this. Not every band in the world is on BandCamp, but many of my favourite local and recommended bands are. So, with that in mind, I present to you:

The Jefferson BandCamp List (Version 2025-01)

This is the first time I have done something like this on the Thursday Special Blend showpage. Apologies in advance to anyone left out.
Where possible, I have chosen a favourite or recent album from the artist. The choices on this list are personal, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the station known as The Mighty 93.1

Here are 25 picks I’m recommending for BandCamp Friday (in no particular order)

Because I can... The word "Chesterfield" originated as the name of a town in Derbyshire, England, meaning "open land near a Roman fort".

nope it's buried. It will be dug up when they build the next condo. If you look at Google maps, you can see the 2 exploratroy holes they dug to see the tunnel
