April 23/07 Show #50 The BIG "5 OH"


I am pleased as punch to announce our arrival at show #50 !! The milestone is really show #52 - meaning that we've been on the air for a full year, but the number 50 has such classic weight to it. Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to mark your calendars for the show's NEW TIME SLOT. Beginning on Sunday, MAY 6th - This Great White North will air every SUNDAY evening from 7-8:30pm CST. I know for some of you, that this will be an easier time to tune in...especially those who listen online. I ask that you spread the word about the new day/time, and I hope that you'll be able to join me for our continued look at the Canadian indie music scene. Cheers! Doug
