I had the misfortune of having to stay at work a bit late last night, but I had the good fortune of being able to catch the Rick Fielding's radio show, Acoustic Workshop on CIUT, Toronto (Ican run Real Player from my office, but not home PC). It was a great show last night, and a bit surprsing for an "acoustic" workshop since Rick's in studio's guests were the modern, semi-electric jazz band, Kitchen Musik ... but very interesting none-the-less! I was enjoying the sounds and banter of these young musicians when Rick had challenged his out of town listeners to call in. Well I know Rick was hoping for a call from some exotic listener from Sydney ... but what he got was a call from Dallas TX!

During the call Rick told me that he'd been asked to perform on an upcoming CD compilation of Canada's best folk acts, as one of Canada's best guitarists. Now I know I've missed some of the details in my description since Rick's on-air time didn't give him much time to explain, so Rick, please jump in here and tell us a bit more about the project, when it'll happen and when we can look for it, who else'll be on it, what record label, etc ....

And congratulations, Rick! It's an honor well deserved!
