This week’s One Man’s Jazz celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the program. It hit the air waves at CKUW 95.9 FM in Winnipeg on May 1, 1999. To celebrate, I decided not to take the easy way out and play my “favourite” recording of each year, but rather just plucked things out at random from 20 years of playlists starting with 1999, and tossed in a few highlight tales that happened along the way.
If you’ve listened to the show — be it one, a few, or a whole bunch over these 20 years — or allowed me to play your music, thank you wherever and whoever you are for being part of this musical journey. Ultimately I do this show for you. Radio without music and listeners? T’aint radio, is it?
