This live to air broadcast was one of the hardest I had to do, yet somehow the most meaningful. NL lost one of its own with the untimely passing of legend Mark Hiscock. The first hour paid homage to this outstanding squeezebox player—one of the best the island has ever seen. I was able to talk to Paul Hamilton and Lindy Hickey of Hamilton Sound and Dave Fitzpatrick of The Fables. They shared their personal experiences with Mark and of course with his founding of the iconic band Shanneygannock. You'll hear some from Mark as well as Shanney and others to pay tribute to the one who is playing for those who passed before him.

Also on the show, we cannot forget the New Music Monday with debuts from Corey Poole, Kim Hamlyn, Logan Bolt, Evan Watts Smith and the sneak peek at Silver Wolf Band's newest single. All this and more on this podcast taken from the live show May 12, 2025.

On this weeks show as we prepare for the holiday season, it'sfast to ignore possible signs of issues with ones mental health. Certain events over time can trigger an episode which can be life or death for some.

I'll be talking with 2 mental health advocates from NF, Glenn Roil and Tina Olivero. It'll be the second time to talk to Glenn, but the first for me to talk to Tina. Glenn Roil is a global mental health advocate. His mission is to de-stigmatize mental illness andmental health and make sure everyone who requires access and treatment receives the programs and services that they need. Glen has been very open about his own mental health struggles and was the public face for mental health with the Provincial Government’s anti-stigma campaign on mental illness and addictions called “Understanding Changes Everything,” which was launched at the Premier’s Summit on Health Care.

Tina Olivero is a mother first and foremost who lost her sonthis past summer to addiction and is the brains behind the group Guardians of Recovery. Guardians Of Recovery provides innovative recovery solutions that include programs for families with addicted loved ones and SOBER Healing Homesfor those in Recovery. We are creating Sober Communities because we believe everyone has the right to be free...drug free. A benefit concert, Ben's Law - The HUMAN RIGHT to LIVE addiction FREE! was held last week and the response has been overwhelming.

I will remind you that this weeks podcast may not be foreveryone as there will be talk about suicide and mental health issues.

President of Creative Cultural Experiences and Performance Coordinator for Hamilton Sound which btw is performing tonight at St. Michael’s Parish on Bell Island with the GOAT, Bud Davidge for their Christmas From Our Hearts show.

After talking with Asetha Power - Country Eastern, I came up with this weeks podcast and thinking you're going to like what I have in store.

Back when I did the show the first time around, not many musicians from NF were female.  Since the show began again, I am finding so many amazing and talented female artists and so with that said, this coming podcast will be dedicated to them, the Women of Newfoundland Music.

I'll be playing a ton of artists from the women pioneers like Joan, Joy,  Trina to today's artists, Tammy , Asetha, Laura Lynn, Shanda and many more for the 90 minutes.  Not only going to chat about the musicians but 2 women who own and operate restaurants here in Ontario that cater to the Newfoundland community.  Yes, I know there are more out there and you all are appreciated but I'd have to have my own radio station to go through them all, lol.  Maybe one day.

So be sure to tune in live every Monday night at 8PM EST on www.ckwr.com, and of course can listen to past shows online on Spotify, Apple Music and MixCloud.

Will also be talking to Natasha, the shows Music Reporter, about this weekends Music NL events and awards being handed out in Corner Brook.

Apologizes for last weeks podcast not being uploaded. We had some technically difficulties. But all is good moving forward. It’s Monday and not only is it National Bologna Day (thanks Audrey), but it’s also time for another weekly podcast.

We’ll talk about the Highwaymen tribute shows going on and the comments about it, if only they took that show to the mainland.

Also new music, in fact, a new compilation CD my from my brother Fitz. 10 track CD that are available for purchase from the artists featured on the CD.

And ALL proceeds from the sale of this CD will go towards Tom Christopher. He’s a childhood friend of  Dave and grew up in Bay Roberts and spent time in Toronto. Doesn’t play or sing but can write songs like no tomorrow. Tom has 7 brain tumors and cancer in other areas and so this is dedicated to him and all sales to him and his family.

Other new music tonight from Gary Wells and Cyril Ingram. They’ve come together to write, arrange and sing these songs you’ll hear tonight.

Also talk about an amazing singer/songwriter who is opening up for Shanda at The Ship pub in St. John’s on November 4th.
