Wednesday Special Blend
Wednesday November 19th, 2025 with Jeff Larocque
Tic is off today. Jeff's filling in so Tic can pretend to be resting. Still, he's probably doing stuff around the Houston Estate, Barnstorm Central, and the Outer Territories.

Will be featuring tracks from the brand new Bandcamp Playlist version of Still The Mighty for you today. It currently has 38 tracks, but will keep growing to 50 soon. Check it out here: https://ckcu931fm.bandcamp.com/album/still-the-mighty

Ha ha. After the final unloading, I'm putting the trailer and my truck to bed for the winter. Then I relax.

Putting things to bed is a process and a ritual. I do say a poem to the truck. Both are strategically parked for access in case of emergency, and under cover with the truck getting a trickle charger.

I love rituals. I thank every plant in my garden at the end of the season as I pull them up and I clip everyflower that has not bloomed into a tomato or pepper or whatever and place them in the compost bin so they can complete their destiny by transitioning to new life for the garden Guess I am just a sentimental gardener at heart.

7:49 AM, November 19th, 2025
Jeff Larocque (host)
Next time I visit (which I hope is soon), I will be bringing a treat for Dancer. Beautiful dog!

ONLY 200 copies 100 deluxe at $200 (only 25 left) 100 at $93.10 (only 50 left) Will be going to print sometime in January. You know how most fundraising campaigns promise you stickers, mugs, or tote bags in exchange for your support? Well… GoFundMe won’t let me do that. Turns out, GoFundMe doesn’t let me offer official “freebies” or “rewards” in exchange for donations – something about rules, regulations, and not turning their platform into a garage sale. But I have cool stuff to offer in exchange for your support. Keep in mind, though, that when you visit the GoFundMe page, none of the fun stuff below will be mentioned. CKCU 50th ANNIVERSARY BOOK - Secure Your Collectors Edition and Preserve CKCU’s Legacy To commemorate this historic milestone, we’re producing a beautiful, high-quality 50th Anniversary Book, and we’re inviting you to help make it happen. This deluxe 12”x12” hardcover volume will serve as a definitive archive of CKCU’s incredible journey. Inside, you’ll find: Personal stories from hosts, volunteers, and listeners Historic photographs and behind-the-scenes moments Reflections and testimonials capturing CKCU’s impact across five decades. Creating a book of this quality is expensive. Printing, design, layout, and digitizing archives all come with significant costs. We need start-up funding now to make it a reality. That’s why we’re asking for 100 early supporters to step forward and pre-order a special edition of the Book for $200.

The deluxe version of the anniversary book comes with a USB with digital versions of all available copies of Trans FM! That would be an amazing look at Ottawa's music scene back in the day.

@JF. It is, and is also a major source of information for the book.

The new Bandcamp tracks I am taking direct from Bandcamp.

@Jeff. I can detect the usual sources, but that may explain. What I'm hearing. And that Joni track was weird a mile away until I found the source.

Next week, stay tuned for a "metal" version of Chris Whites song.

Really disappointed to hear something AI-assisted... none of those LLMs are producing original content. They are trained on stolen work. I listen to community radio so I don't have to engage as much with AI-generated content.

For the record, no artificial intelligence was used in creating my 'CKCU Forever') song -- just my natural intelligence (or lack thereof!) and my acoustic guitar.
