Recorded Live by SFHAA.ca at The Pink Piano in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia James Gordon has been there. He’s done that. He has had a remarkably diverse and resilient career in the Canadian cultural sector. As a solo singer-songwriter and with the ground-breaking trio Tamarack, he’s recorded 40 albums and toured relentlessly around the world. He’s written for symphony orchestras, musical theatre and dance works, scored films, and for more than ten years was heard on CBC radio as songwriter-in-residence for the ’Basic Black’ and ‘Ontario Morning’ programs.   Between tours, James is a record producer, playwright, community activist, theatre director and currently has a part-time ‘side hustle’ as a Guelph City Councillor. These days he’s perhaps known as the composer of the viral internet hit “Crybabies Caravan”, about the so-called ‘Freedom Convoy’ in Ottawa. It’s received more than 300,000 views and stimulated a lot of inspiring discussion.   His songwriting-in-the-schools program “Rhyme Capsules” has brought him all over the world, creating songs with students of all ages, and it earned him a place of honour on the “Wall of Fame” in Guelph’s Youth Music Centre.   His song ’Mining For Gold’ was featured in the John Sayles film ‘Silver City’, and was included on the classic Cowboy Junkies album ‘The Trinity Sessions’. Gordon’s iconic ‘Frobisher Bay’ has been recorded by more than 100 different acts world-wide, has become a standard in choirs everywhere, and is in ‘Rise Again’, the sequel to the legendary ‘Rise Up Singing’ songbook. Well known for his songs about social justice, heritage and environmental issues, he recently concluded a covid-safe virtual tour of his 6th full-length play ‘James Gordon’s Emergency Climate Musical’. His last album, ‘The Heritage Hall Sessions’ on Borealis Records charted internationally in the roots, singer-songwriter, and Americana categories. His newest album “When I Stayed Home” is just out, as is his unique ‘musical novel’ “The Ark Of The Oven Mitt” which includes a downloadable recording of 36 original songs that move the plot along. The book is a finalist in the Stephen Leacock Humour Medal competition, with the winner chosen in September. www.JamesGordon.ca All Songs by James Gordon - 100% MAPL

Bill is a well known jazz & blues pianist with a fabulous touch and a rich history... "... While still in his teens, he joined the band Earth Opera, originally based in Boston. Stevenson left the band in 1968, after the release of their first album. During Stevenson's time with Earth Opera, the band frequently opened for The Doors, being fellow recording artists on Elektra Records, as well as having Jac Holzman as producer.[1] After leaving Earth Opera, Stevenson returned to Ottawa, where he continued to play locally for a number of years. One of his associations was as an early member of Heaven's Radio,[2] considered to be one of the best bands to come out of Ottawa in the 1970s.[3] As of the mid-1970s, Stevenson relocated to Halifax, Nova Scotia, from which his career has been based since. During his career, Stevenson has worked with many notable artists, including John Lee Hooker, Amos Garrett[4] and Tom Rush. Stevenson is the 2008 winner of the East Coast Music Award for Jazz Album of The Year.[4] With Tom Easley and Geoff Arsenault, he is also a 2009 East Coast Music Award nominee for Blues Album of The Year.[5]... ...." - Wikipedia   Remastered episode.   Madame Madame Badero - Bill Stevenson Whole Town Gathering Round - Bill Stevenson Bird In A Willow - Bill Stevenson Don’t Go To San Francisco - Bill Stevenson Some Of These Days - Shelton Brooks Wild Nights - Bill Stevenson / Tom Easley Cant Help Myself - Bill Stevenson i’m All Smiles - Michael Leonard / Herbert Martin Once In A While - Michael Edwards / lyrics: Bud Green Young At Heart - Johnny Richards

A little bit country, a little bit pop.-------- Jon Mullane - www.JonMullane.com In an era where commercial radio play and chart success is dominated by major label artists, Jon’s success in this domain is a reflection of his ability to write songs that connect with listeners – songs that mirror the emotions of the human condition intertwined with timeless and inspirational themes, positive messages, and observations of modern culture. “Mullane’s songs have a mass appeal, not just in North America but globally…” – Bob Mersereau, Telegraph Journal
