NPR from
Canton NY
For those who live south of the city, OBS
member Bob Cavan notes that the National Public Radio (NPR) radio signal at
89.5 FM in Canton NY comes in pretty strong in Manotick. Bob recommends two shows
in particular. Bob says “The Blue Note” Tuesdays 3 pm-5 pm, and “The Radio
Bob Show” Wednesdays 3 pm-5 pm are both excellent shows – blues, ‘50s
& ‘60s, rock & roll, R&B.

Unsung
and On The Side
With
Carolyn Fe
Tuesdays,
7-9 pm
Re-broadcast Saturday 10 am – noon &
Sunday 2-4 pm (all times EST)
It’s all about the Blues, Jazz and its
derivatives from around the globe and just around the corner. Songs rarely heard,
from the very first recordings all the way to indie artists who consciously
push the envelope to the next generation sounds of the genre; some older
releases will be spun - just because the album in old, doesn't mean it's forgotten,
thus the "On The Side" part of the show's title.
**********
Streaming great Blues, Roots, Soul, R&B,
Folk, East Coast and Celtic music across Canada and around the world 24/7/365.
