Nothing in Particular 2.0

After a 25 year hiatus, Nothing in Particular returns weekly to CHSR-FM 97.9 in Fredericton, starting Tuesday, July 8th at 16:00.

It will be an hour-long program of various genres of music across the last fifty years or so. That’s where the format starts, but will likely evolve as I get reacquainted with radio in the 21st century.

Winnipeg Folk Festival

In 2014 a friend invited me to the Winnipeg Folk Festival. Little did I know of what an incredible experience I was in for. The performances, the venue, the food!

What stirred me were the amazing jam sessions. From Russia with Seoul – Jaron Freeman-Fox and the Opposite of Everything, Geomungo Factory, & Namgar. Uke Nation – James Hill & Anne Janelle, and Jake Shimabukuro.

Other acts of interest: Boy & Bear, and Elephant Revival.

Unforgettable moment: In the Folk School tent with Jaron Freeman-Fox and the Opposite of Everything when the skies opened up.

It`s a ‘funny’ story to tell now: Mosquitoes at the campground.

We returned in 2017. What I learned from the previous trip was not to try to get everything in, but to chill. Having a camp chair this time helped too. 😉

Music discoveries: Margaret Glaspy, Paul McKenna, Bon Débarra, Jonah Blacksmith, and Foy Vance.

High point: The Choir! Choir! Choir! sing-along of Lovers in a Dangerous Time with Bruce Cockburn.

In case you were wondering: Not that we missed them, but where were the mosquitoes?

The 2020 festival was sidelined by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately a virtual taste of the festival was prepared to tide us over.
