Well I've had my show for almost 15 years now, and it would be far easier to name the Canadian folkie musicians who I HAVEN'T had as guests. Angus Finnan who was quoted extensively in the article made his first radio appearances on "Acoustic Workshop".

It's been a labour of love that not only hasn't payed, but has actually COST me the parking fee at the station every Monday. For a short while I maintained an internet presence for the show, but I started getting inundated with singer-songwriter submissions, and found myself spending a LOT of time corresponding with Artists and angry folk Managers, explaining why I wasn't playing their new releases. The reason was that I preferred a certain type of traditionally based music, whether brand new or old. I got sick of Artists and representatives telling me that they'd never heard of the musicians I played on a regular basis.

Went back to being as underground as possible, and have rarely had to kiss any media ass since. It's still fun, but I wish I was back on the Midnight hour like I used to.
