Day 996 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinyl Found this pristine condition set on the weekend, and couldn't leave it alone. The snippets of mutual admiration before each song are kinda cool with a few sounding most sincere. Decent, not essential set, but worth owning.

Day 1215 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #Bluegrass A Canadian bluegrass double-sized set and JD Crowe through the years. A few more Crowes to come.

If it seems like just yday was Sunday, it's b/c it was. Still, planning for the next edition of @cjsrfm.bsky.social's Fervor Coulee's Rootsicana & Bluegrass is well underway including new #vinyl finds, new releases, & advancing RiverCity Bluegrass with Karen Trace. 2 MTN Sunday 88.5 & CJSR.com.

Day 995 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinyl Stopped @ Curmudgeon Records on Whyte Ave yday on the way to the studio, & this was the first record that caught my eye- 5 seconds into the visit. Perfectly positioned in the blues bin!Very good store- clean, roomy, & welcoming. Great album, too.

Day 1214 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #Bluegrass Crooked Still moved the bar a bit, didn't they? Crooked Stovepipe- a terrific Newfoundland bluegrass group.

#NewWaveNovember has been fun. Found this CD in a sale bin today for $1.50, and some titles/performers really stretch the definition of New Wave.

Another Sunday, another Fervor Coulee's Rootsicana & Bluegrass on @cjsrfm.bsky.social I had fun- hope you did, too. If you missed it, here's the playlist:

Day 1213 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #Bluegrass Old-time is not a crime. It also isn't bluegrass, but close enough for my shelves. I fell for The Crooked Jades at Wintergrass in '01 I believe it was, maybe '02. In the days when we could still encounter music at a fest not before heard.

Sunday at 2 MTN Fervor Coulee's Rootsicana & Bluegrass comes to you live from the U of A Campus & CJSR 88.5 CJSR.com. A bit of new, a slice of vintage, roots & bluegrass- two hours of our kinda music. I can hardly wait- I'm looking forward to hearing how the show develops! Join me, won't you?

I looked at the calendar a minute or so ago & saw Nov 22- 1943 was when Yvan Cournoyer was born in Drummondville- back of hockey card info engrained & then CBC acknowledges it, too. There will never be a day when he isn't my favourite #NHL player. #Canadiens

Day 1212 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #Bluegrass Pretty strong set of bluegrass vocalists here.
November 22, 2025 at 11:49 PM
Day 1211 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #Bluegrass Good stuff- especially a song on the final Charlie Waller & Country Gents album- "Joe." www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHgC...

Okay, let's do this for 7 days in December. #AuralVisualConnection See image below. Make a song connection to an album cover I'll post beginning evening of Nov. 30 without using a song from the album or artist. It may be fun?!

Day 1210 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #Bluegrass
Looks like I missed a Country Boys album alphabetically before I started in on the Country Gents; hardly the first mistake I made today.

And now, I realize I missed Wednesday.
A more recent show, one that almost didn't happen: fervorcoulee.wordpress.com/2017/08/17/r...

Day 1209 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #Bluegrass A pretty good place to begin our visit with The Country Gentlemen.
November 19, 2025 at 6:04 PM
Day 1208 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #Bluegrass The Dottie Cormier is the favourite of this grouping. Formerly of Heartbreak Hill, this is a set of alt-country 'grass- good stuff.

EIther rewatching Ashes to Ashes or watching season 2 for the first time- I truly am not sure which- and I'm amazed by 3 things. A, the quality of the soundtrack; B, the strength of the writing; that Keeley Hawes stars (i'd forgotten). Ridiculous concept requiring continual suspension of disbelief

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

As of this moment, here is the starting plan for Sunday's Fervor Coulee's Rootsicana & Bluegrass, coming to you live from the U of A Campus & CJSR 88.5 CJSR.com. A bit of new, a slice of vintage, roots & bluegrass- two hours of our kinda music. I can hardly wait- six days away!
