Randy Bachman |
Guitarist of the Guess Who,
Canada's greatest band ever. Check out their live double CD "Runnin'
Back Through Canada" from their 2000 tour. I saw them in Peterborough,
Ontario, in June 2000. Truly awesome. |
|
|
|
|
Fairport Convention |
One of the greatest bands
that's ever lived. These legends are still making the best of British
folk-rock after about 35 years. |
|

|
Paul Gross and David Keeley |
Both are well-known and highly
regarded Canadian actors who blend country, rock, and folk into an incredibly
interesting mix. I highly recommend their "Two Houses" CD. |

KCSM - San Mateo, CA |
The BEST jazz radio station
in the universe. KCSM broadcasts on the internet, too. They play
great jazz all the time. (This is REAL jazz -- like Trane and Bird and
Diz -- not that "happy jazz" Kenny G crap.) |
|
|
|
WBJC - Baltimore, MD |
All classical music all the
time. Completely non-commercial. I love this station. Check out
Judith Krummeck's evening drive time show. (She has a truly lovely voice.)
You can also get broadcast through the internet. |
| WHYY - Philadelphia, PA |
|
|
|
| WPFW - Washington, DC |
Pacifica Radio in the Nations
Capital. Decent jazz station. My preference runs to more music
and less public affairs. |
|
|
| MPT - Maryland Public Television |
What can I say. It's
Maryland Public Television. |
|
|
|
WETA - Washington, DC |
NPR and Public Television
in the Nation's Capital. Too many news and public affairs shows.
Garrison Keillor on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings. |

| Guitar Makers |
|
Heritage Guitars |
When Gibson moved from Kalamazoo
to Nashville, a few of their best luthiers stayed behind and started their
own guitar manufacturing company. Heritage makes just about THE BEST
jazz guitars in the whole USA. Unbelieveable value for the money.
This web site (heritage575.tripod.com) is named in honor of one of their
electric jazz products, the Heritage H575, a jazz masterpiece. |
