Remembering Willie

Good day everybody, Lawrence Dunn here....Shirley was kind enough to let me sit in for her this week. My late fathers 84th birthday just recently passed, and i thought it would be a good time to share some deep cuts from his music library.

Neil, Dad of The Dancing Labrador
Thank you Lawrence, for sharing personal stories of your father and his amazing musical legacy. He has been one of my favourite artist / songwriters since I heard my first Willie Dunn song and it grabbed my heart and squeezed. It is very special to have you in the CKCU studio to share your memories with listeners. I am grateful to be able to listen today.
