Chain Reaction
Thursday July 26th, 2018 with Allen Roulston
All the songs in today's program are linked by relationships between the artists, and all of the artists are Canadian and have performed in Ottawa.
All Canadian, All connected to each other, all have performed in Ottawa.
The opening salvo of CHAIN REACTION : Automatic Weapons Fire. Today I take up the challenge to only play music by Canadian performers who have performed in Ottawa AND are linked together by personal relationships. |

Frank has seen Greg perform on various stages around Ottawa. They have also exchanged CDs. Frank: "Greg came up to me at the launch party for the Ottawa Grassroots Festival at Pressed last April. He said, "I heard you have a new album out and I want to buy it!" Lovely chap. Very talented songwriter." |
