The Guest List
Thursday October 29th, 2020 with Joe Reilly
Interviews with Lynn Miles, DeeDee Butters of DeeDee7 and Bruce White of the Bytowne Cinema
A cinematic theme runs through the show today folks.
We open by talking to Lynn Miles about my favourite Lynn Miles song, Surrender Dorothy, and Lynn reveals how that song is tied to the film The Wizard of Oz and how important that film is to her. We also talk about her newest album We'll Look For Stars and how the pandemic has affected Lynn's ability to promote the album because she cannot tour and play live right now.

Next up we check in with DeeDee Butters. We find out that DeeDee has been involved in some local filmmaking ventures and that her band has released a brand new video for the song You Lied.

Finally we check in with Bruce White of the Bytowne Cinema. We talk to Bruce about how the pandemic and the lockdowns have affected the Bytowne and what things look like for the Bytowne going forward. Bruce tells us how his days at CKCU-FM in the 1970s have had an impact on how he curates films to screen at the Bytowne and he reminds members of the CKCU alumni to continue supporting the station during our annual funding drive.
