Saturday January 16th, 2021 with Chris White
Penguin Eggs magazine (Annemarie Hamilton and Roddy Campbell), Dave King

Chris White chats with Roddy Campbell and Annemarie Hamilton who founded Penguin Eggs Magazine 23 years ago. The highly respected magazine, which celebrated folk, roots and world musicians from across Canada and beyond, published its final issue in December, 2020. Chris also pays tribute to local songwriter and musician Dave King who passed away on January 12. In spite of the misfortune and hardship he experienced, Dave found ways to create and share some amazing music, to champion the work of other musicians – especially local musicians – and to speak out about about various forms of injustice and violence in the world. His album entitled 'Life and Death' was number 23 in CKCU's list of 'Top 50 Albums of the Year for 2018'. His music is available on Bandcamp at https://daveking1.bandcamp.com

A tribute to Ottawa-based songwriter and musician Dave King who passed away on January 12, 2021. In spite of the extreme misfortune and hardship he experienced in life, he found ways to create and share some amazing music, to champion the work of other musicians – especially local musicians – and to peak out about about various forms of injustice and violence in the world. His album entitled 'Life and Death' was number 23 in CKCU's list of 'Top 50 Albums of the Year for 2018'. His music is available on Bandcamp at https://daveking1.bandcamp.com
Proceeds from sales of Dave King's music will support the work of Doctors Without Borders / Médécins Sans Frontiers in Yemen. Dave was very concerned about the desperate needs of the people in that war-torn region.

Thanks for the Roy Forbes song; 'turn this thing around' is what needs to happen in the wider world. Title of song brings to mind Rutger Bregman's book Humankind which is a reset button for social theory. Humans are good, or can be!

Looking forward to the tribute to Dave King—sad that his time with the CKCU community was all too brief. His music lives on, and he will be remembered each time we hear one of his songs.

Thanks for this amazing tribute to my incredible brother, Chris. Andrew Pakuts and I will be donating all proceeds from Dave's albums on his bandcamp site going forward to a cause he was particularly concerned with-that of the humanitarian crisis in Yemen-through Doctors without Borders. Shows like yours allow us to always hear his voice-grateful for your support of Dave's music over the years, and everyone else at CKCU as well. Great clip with Tonya just now. Thank you. xo
