Friday Drive
Friday August 13th, 2021 with Trevor Walker
[West Coast Diggz Part 1]

Skip to Tracks
Happy Friday “Drivers”! Last weekend I had the good fortune to visit the West Coast for a gig I’ve been looking forward to for more than 20 years and had met up with my brother from another mother Scott Arkwell aka Vinyl Ritchie. Super talented DJ based out west with impeccable taste and skills. He was kind enough to take me digging around the Vancouver vinyl shops. The digs we’re deep and good enough to fill a few Friday Drives but I think we’ll limit it to two. This will be part one. If you take a peek in the “Friday Drive” archive you can catch an episode where Vinyl Ritchie did a killer guest spot dropping some serious science, mos definitely worth a listen! link: https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/120/41580.html Big love to all the people I met out west and hoping for cooler wetter weather to quell the fires.

Happy Friday robert p! It makes it all worth it to be able to introduce new music especially when it’s old! Thanks for always taking the time and your comments. Cheers

It must have been a wonderful experience to DJ in that area of BC. Salmo. I did a bit of treeplanting around there 1985-1992... Beautiful country. Nice people.

robert p it was truly magical and must have been amazing back in the '80's. Expect more MC God in the next couple of weeks.

BC was beautiful in the 80s. But i think that people are more aware these days. Music and information is more widely available. I saw some great shows in Van city.

robert p sounds like a dream job at least for the scenery. Tragic what's going on at the moment out west.

Yes. Tragic. The natural surroundings are so varied. It was great to work outside. I worked on Vancouver Island, Queen Charlotte Islands, beautiful scenery. First job, Nimpkish Valley, the foreman told me that people pay money to be in such a place... The Kootenays, Salmo, i heard referred to as being God's country. On the coast, the only place on earth where there is a temperate rainforest. Impressive.

Working outside, you really felt like you were inside a living being. In the spring, you could experience the 4 seasons in the course of a day. You had to be prepared. I also picked apples for a short while...

I actually saw a cougar, outside Port Alice, Vancouver Island. We were driving on a logging road. For a split second... On the road, then it disappeared in the bush.

I am a city boy. Always lived in the city. At that time, i was living in downtown Montreal (Chinatown). To see a cougar or mountain lion in the wild, was an experience.

robert p, I'm with you! I'm a country boy in a city boy's life, is the way I sometimes feel. Sounds like you've had some amazing experiences out west!

Some special moments... mostly working on a clear-cut everyday. I am listening to music i downloaded from the blog Les mains noires. I got the info from Canicule tropicale, The Goods, CKUT, Mtl. French guys go to the Caribbean and buy music. Their finds are posted on their blog, as mixes or compilations. Available to stream or download. For free. Lots of old recordings, biguine and the like. Also African music. Sound isn't too bad.

Trevor Walker (host)
robert p, Canicule Tropicale, The Goods & numerous shows on CKUT are absolute treasures. You'll probably dig this coming week's show.
