Top records
Diana Panton - ...yesterday perhaps - (self-produced)
Diana is an amazing young Canadian talent who has already won wide acclaim. He vocals are sweet and innocent. Joining her on this album are two of Canada's finest: guitarist Reg Schwager and pianist/bassist Don Thompson (who also co-produced the album).
Susie Arioli Band featuring Jordan Officer - Learn To Smile Again – (Justin Time)
This collection of bittersweet compositions (6 by Roger Miller) will help you get over your breakup with 'him' or 'her' without trivializing or cheapening the experience.
Best personal campus radio moment or experience of the year:
Interviewing jazz guitarist Reg Schwager in between sets of his performance with The Dave Young Trio at the KWCMS Music Room in early December. |
