On the inaugural episode of Canadian Songbook, host Ernesto Cervini rewinds the tape with Barenaked Ladies bassist Jim Creeggan, tracing his authentic, unscripted journey from camp jam sessions and high‑school talent shows to the all‑night dubbing spree that birthed the Yellow Tape. Jim recalls the teachers who nudged him toward jazz, the family choir that kept him grounded, and the friends who cheered every off‑beat experiment. It’s a warm, down‑to‑earth portrait of a working musician whose arena‑sized success still grows from the simple joy of playing music with people he loves.
