Hour 1, 7-8 a.m.

Canadian Alternative-Pop sensation Elena Erin delivers a captivating and avant-garde musical journey on her sophomore album, “Roaring 20s”. Connecting the glamour of the 1920s with the glittering social scene of today, the concept album explores the elusive nature of fulfillment through a dynamic narrative of ambition, disillusionment, and personal reckoning.

Hour 2, 8-9 a.m.
Dear America (A Breakup Song) is melancholy and somewhat bitter, but still an earworm. It’s a breakup letter in song form, with my vocals moving from heartbreak to anger to resignation.

What is different about this song is that I’ve chosen to release it via a Creative Commons licence which means it is completely free to download, play, and share, AND any artist can perform, or even record and release this song with no payments or royalties to me. I’ve done this because I really want the song's message to reach far and wide, and I’d absolutely love to hear other artists performing it.

If you choose to play the song, it would be great if you could tell listens about it being free to download, but even more important, that the download includes lyrics and chords, so anyone can play, perform, record or release, completely free of charge!

Here's a link to a folder with WAV and MP3 and lyrics/chords.

Drake and a Proud Dad
Morning tic. Hey we got up an hour late and went out for Drake's morning business. We came back in and I turned on The Mighty just in time to hear you that today Drake would be sponsoring the sunrise .And you told the story of his first sponsorship and having to go to an appointment, missing the show. He was laying on one of his beds and his head picked right up and looked at the Wave Radio when you talked to him to say hi, and then looked at me. "Ya, buddy, you are sponsoring the sunrise today." You are a VIP (Very Impressive Puppy) on CKCU !!!!.....reply.......woof woof......and one radiant smile on his proud face. Thanks tic, for making Drake's day !!!!
