This week on the show we've got some old favourites, some brand new releases, and lots of tracks by local musicians to celebrate the depth of talent we have right here in our own front yard. This past week here in Owen Sound we lost one of our own, songstress Lisa Stethem. Friend the show and friend of Lisa's, Mary Little, put it best with a post on Lisa's Facebook wall: "We’ve lost a bright light in our Owen Sound music community. She was a strong, courageous woman with a beautiful smile. She was a marvellous songwriter who was devoted to her craft. Our songwriters’ circle won’t be the same without her. RIP Lisa. We’ll listen for your voice, singing in the wind." Featuring tracks by Richard Ebbs, Mimi O'Bonsawin, James Keelaghan, Danny Michel, Paige Warner, Kelly Babcock, Graham Nash, Larry Jensen, Stompin' Tom Connors, Coco Love Alcorn, Fred Penner, Kathleen Edwards, and Lisa Stethem.
