Mistee from Kitchener asks:
I've loved listening to your shows since I was very young, and will always continue to listen to them. You really know what you're talking about when it comes to music. I have two questions for you, and I'm not sure that either is really all that answerable but I'll give it a shot. My first question is about Canadian music. It still exists and that's a really good thing, but my question is whatever happened to the multitude of bands that were out in the mid 90's that all sounded unique?

Rod asks:
Back in 1984 Louise Pitre, a Broadway performer to this day, did what has been called the best version ever of Edith Piaf's famous song "No Regrets". Now Louise is on tour right now and, from her website (louisepitre.com), I was able to call an office that deals with enquiries and they had no answers. Is this version of Edith Piaf's song still available? Have you ever heard it? I've looked in various used CD stores and haven't found it. Need to look more in these venues I guess but I've also done a search at the big HMV downtown without success. Where does one find something really good but not immediately accessible like this song?

If so, please let me know where I may access the past episodes as I have only just begun to get into them.
