We’re into March and the weather continues to be as unpredictable as NHL hockey. Live music is still down the road and hopefully will see some growth when the weather gets better. Until then we have to satisfy ourselves with live streaming and new music releases from Canada’s greatest undiscovered and perpetual talents.

My first AirBnB guest has arrived. A Brooklyn girl from NYC. A very young (emphasis on the word “young”), freelance film producer who has one of her works showing at the Female Eye Film Festival. Jessica has never been to Toronto before although this is the second time one of her films has been selected to show. With only two full days, unfortunately she won’t have an opportunity to really experience The Big Smoke. However, she was asking me if I knew any clubs with live music…..REALLY!!!

Hard to miss that’s it’s the Christmas season. Department, drug and clothing stores have all been playing Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”, Bobby Helm’s “Jingle Bell Rock”, Wham’s “Last Christmas” and The Beach Boys “Little Saint Nick”, along with newer Christmas ditties from the likes of Neil Diamond, Taylor Swift, Michael Buble and the omnipresent “White Christmas” from der Bingle (aka Bing Crosby) for what seems like months already.
Doug Thompson: Confessions of a Professional Rock and Roll Interviewer Continues – Bobby Curtola, Quincy Jones, and More

I conducted my very first interview when I was 15 years old. Before I continue, I think a little background is in order here.
I’d been interested in radio since I was 13, so for my 15th birthday in July, my parents bought me a tiny portable tape recorder. They say size matters, but this recorder only took 3 inch reels, and that was more than enough for me. It literally fit in my hand (no jokes please). The interview subject was my 8 year old brother, who talked about his friends, school and what life might have in store for him when he grew up. Sadly, I no longer have that tape or I would have blackmailed my brother years ago and retired to Kauai.
