Jenny Mitchell joins into Special Blend from Guelph to speak of many things: her mobile performance venue called The Golden Bus, her roles as Volunteer Coordinator and Mobile Studio Coordinator at CFRU FM community radio in Guelph, her dual musical identities as Jenny Omnichord and Bird City, and her admiration for Wax Mannequin, a Guelph-based musician and performance artist. Hour 2: Carol Shipley talks about her thought-provoking book, "Love, Loss and Longing: Stories of Adoption". The late Barclay McMillan describes his journey to obtain insights and methods to help himself and others "find their voice" and discover their "life song".
