Polka is still hot

I receive Al’s Morning Meeting every weekday morning, and I think it’s a great resource. This morning, he talks about the Polka Grammy (it’s the second item), and suggests some polka-related stories.

My suspicions have been confirmed. Polka is where it’s at.

I’m going to Vancouver for Outfront

I’m going on a road trip. A trip from Vancouver to Banff to return a stolen headstone to its original cemetery.

I am, of course, bringing my tape recorder and making a doc for my senior practicum. Plus, today I got the good news from Steve Wadhams that I’ll be producing the whole thing for Outfront.

Hopefully, more on this later

I’m pacing around my apartment, full of nervous energy, my mind spinning.

I just got off the telephone with Patrick Watson. Yes, the Patrick Watson.

Listen for me on DNTO this Saturday

Yesterday I went down to the CBC to track narration for my polka dot piece. The whole thing took less than fifteen minutes. I did a read of my script, handed over my clips, shook Nick‘s hand, and was out of there. This is the first piece I’ve done for the CBC where I haven’t actually cut everything together myself in Dalet. Though I had less control over the final product, I guess I’ll get to hear it with fresh ears when it airs.

So then, tune into CBC Radio One this Saturday afternoon between 3 and 4 (your local time) to hear me talk for a few minutes about polka dots.

Sadly, the DNTO email preview got my name wrong:
