Saturday Morning
Saturday April 30th, 2022 with Pat Moore
Music to start your weekend off on "the right foot".

Good morning folks! Welcome to the Saturday Morning Show! I have two features to share with you this week... a spotlight on two great Canadian musicians we lost recently - and who will be greatly missed by the music community and their audiences. It’s with great thanks to Ken Simms of Think Tank Music who gave me permission to use this great interview by Harpdog Browne, the first of his series In the Doghouse, where his guest was none other than Bill Bourne. You’ll hear much of their conversation - but not all due to time constraints on my end, and of course some of their music. To hear the complete interview, or some of Harpdog’s other interviews he conducted, go to YouTube and search for Think Tank Music or In the Dog House. You’ll find a treasure of music… and please click on “subscribe” - it costs you nothing, and helps them to earn some from sponsors. That's in the second hour. In the third hour I'm bringing you parts of a conversation I had with Dean Batstone last week. Dean has been making music for a few decades (4?) both around here and on the other side of the Canada/US border. A couple of years before the pandemic he settled down in Renfrew where he bought a church building, and opened a music venue in it - Batstone's Northern Ramble. Covid took it's toll on that, but Dean has resurfaced in Ashton with a smaller version of Batstone's Northern Ramble in an old schoolhouse, and a brand new CD - Loveskill. You'll also hear a track from some other new CD's - John Allaire's Painted "All in Blue"; Keith Glass Band's "The Easy Way"; Lil' Andy's album "The Complete Recordings of Hezekiah Procter", and more! We begin with an hour chalked full of music from jazz to country. Enjoy!
