As guitarists, we all aspire to carve out our own sound, to sound like ourselves and no one else. To not sound like our influences, or other guitarists. To pick up your guitar and have people know it’s you playing just by the sound.

Well, Gordon probably didn’t worry about that much. He probably just wanted to play guitar, and he still does. 

But he always only ever sounded just like himself anyway. 

We won’t keep you out too late this week folks! JCs got strep and tonsils the size of cannonballs (to be featured on another show perhaps), Gracie steps back in the hosting chair (Yay!), Julie will have the events and swag and for real entertainment we’ll have a couple extra clips from last week for those who didn’t get enough of Gordons guitar (we know you’re out there) and some yarn from Dave Paddon, specifically how to go about doctorin’ when there is nar doctor to be had. Timely that one.

All that and a puncheon of penicillin.

Lurching out of April and into what passes for Spring around these parts, we are getting right in the mood for a few tunes. Just as well say it. The Festival launch is around the corner as is next weeks accordionaplaooza event that we do for International Accordion Day (yes, that’s a thing), so anyways…

Yeah tunes. Brad and Darren, Klucowicz and Browne, Buddy and Boobie. Whatever you wanna call them, they are fine fellows, stalwart session players and a couple of dab hands at the tunes.

So, join us for a few tunes why don’t ya.

Karla Pilgrim, live in studio!

The man, the myth, the legend,  the Snowman himself drops by to play a few cuts from his brand new double disc release!

A lovely pairing of songstress Andrea Monro and guitar ace Craig Young, this is one for fans of classic country styles and of course, fine guitar picking!

The first edition of the BroadSLIDE! Yessir, mesself and the one and only Sandy Morris are going to bring along a few special axes and spend the hour talking about slide guitar. Not too shabby for a Monday!

We couldn’t be happier to feature Pamela Morgan live on the Broadside. Amazing.

We’ll blame the new moon and February Flu which has the Folk on hold for tonight. But we’ve got some great shows coming up, so take your vitamins and stay well and we’ll be back next week with the next episode of the Broadside! And don’t fret(board), Sandy Morris will still be joining us in the studio -now on March 6th.

To tide you over until then, get your weekly tune supply at Folk Night!
