CKCU Funding Drive Week 2: Conversation and Songs with Connie Kaldor

The theme on this CKCU Funding Drive Edition of Stranger Songs is Conversation and Songs with Connie Kaldor. The photo of me and Connie Kaldor was taken in 2015. Click on LISTEN NOW to hear this show. Click on LISTEN to hear the current CKCU broadcast.
This is the second of two editions of Stranger Songs during CKCU’s annual funding drive for 2025, a funding drive falling just before CKCU celebrates 50 years of broadcasting on air – an incredible milestone for independent, listener-supported media in a day and age when independent, community-oriented media with programming curated, produced and hosted by a dedicated corps of volunteers, often experts in our fields, is harder and harder to come by. It's only at a station like CKCU that someone like me, with the support of listeners like you, can curate and host a show like Stranger Songs. Your support is much needed and much appreciated.

At the begining of the show I thanked the following supporters whose donations in support of Stranger Songs were received before I recorded the show: Mike Palumbo, Lia Kiessling, Penny from Montreal, Robert Moon, Michael Regenstreif (hey, that's me), Sylvie Barzilay, Barbara Shapiro, Paul & Bev Mills, Arne Langsetmo, Thom Fountain, John Coleman, Bruce White, Neil McLeod, Joanne Hurley, Dennis Brown. Since then, Peter Blatherwick and Michael Lord have been added to the list. I'll be thanking everyone again on next week's show and I hope your name will be on the list. Your support is much needed and much appreciated.
