Heavy Friends
Saturday January 1st, 2022 with Heavy Ben
In Memoriam - 2021 (Part 2 of 3)

Part two in the annual Heavy Friends series that pays respects to the departed. Part one aired December 18 https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/410/54570.html Pictured: Jon Hassell, who broke down barriers and was the convergence of everything: fourth world music, seeing through sound, listening to pictures. “Just be more aware of the rest of the world".

Good evening and thanks for joining for round two. Any memories or connections to these artists?

Cool to see Trouble down there on the list. Was told they were Christian heavy metal, but either way, just a good band. Happy new year!

8:11 PM, January 1st, 2022
Ben Armstrong (host)
Hey you lot - happy 2022. Yeah, you'll need to check out the full show on demand to hear Trouble. There are biblical references, but they don't seem to be preachy. More like Black Sabbath from what I can tell in that regard, ie. Ozzy sang about god and hell and salvation.
