A Tribute to the Fun Side of Janis Lockwood and Slo' Tom and Dave Bignell of Cloud of Rock

On today's funding drive show we open with a little tribute to Janis Lockwood as I dial back the time machine and play a couple of fun crossovers with Janis from 2018 and 2019. Janis was a long-time programmer here at CKCU-FM and she was the funding drive coordinator for many, many years. Sadly Janis died of cancer this past Spring and I thought it would be nice to remember some fun moments with her on the air to kick off the show. Then we talk to Slo' Tom Stewart about how much he's missing hanging out and playing with his bandmates in the Handsome Devils. We also talk about how things are going at his independent musical instrument shop Spaceman Sound and he picks out one of his favourite Furnaceface songs for us to wrap up the segment. https://slotomandthehandsomedevils.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/slotomandthehandsomedevils/ Then we check in with another local musician Dave Bignell. Dave has played with many Ottawa bands over the years and recently has been making some fun rock'n'roll music with a group called Cloud of Rock (one of Janis's fav local bands!) https://www.facebook.com/cloudofrock/ Both Dave and Tom encourage you to make a donation to CKCU-FM at our website ckcufm.com as we are in our annual public funding drive and must raise $150,00 by the end of the week to pay the bills so we can keep making great radio for you here at 93.1 FM. Thanks for all your support to date!! It is greatly appreciated. At the tail end of the show we are listening to the music of Raphael Weinroth-Browne and his amazing album Worlds Within. Don't forget it is Bandcamp Friday this Friday, November 6. That means that Bandcamp forgoes charging any fees to the artists who sell music through their website and all sales proceeds go to the artists or their labels. For Raphael and Slo' Tom that means they get all of your financial support if you buy any of their music this Friday on Bandcamp. Think about it and support great, independent music. https://raphaelweinroth-browne.bandcamp.com/
