You know, that means I've been listening to you for 30 years!!! I graduated from Concordia in 1992 and I was already listening to CKUT. Did ypu know Rudra? Of Rude Ras Music?

P.p.s. Iwas kidding about Bobby Calzone... obviously:)

Mike Regenstreif (host)
I figured you were kidding, Robert. No, I didn't know Rudra. I was never involved with Galaxy. Their Folk/Roots channels were programmed by Greg Torrington (who is no longer with them).

Oh? ... two strikes for me, one strike for Mike;)! Well, the reason I was mentioning it is, the only period in my life that I wasn't listening to you, were the 3 years I was in Pointe-Fortune, actually split between quebec and Ontario, in the middle between Montréal and Ottawa, couldnt gwt with CKUT or CKCU!!! OK, on with the show this is it!!!

Does Ronney still tour or do shows locally, Mike?

4:36 PM, August 27th, 2024
Mike Regenstreif (host)
She still plays on occasion. I can't think of anything she's done recently, but she played several shows locally before Covid. We sat together at a concert about three months ago and she said she didn't have anything coming up at that point.
