Holiday Radio


Holidays often mean our local CBC morning host Stephen Quinn takes the day off and we hear from another CBC team in Victoria or Kelowna.

This morning -- Canadian Thanksgiving -- I regained consciousness to CBC Kelowna's Chris Walker, who replayed his 2016 interview with Greil Marcus on the Band's song "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)" (1969), a remarkable event because neither Marcus nor the band had a new book or record to promote. (I heard the interview the first time when I was living in Kelowna.)

A few minutes later, Walker cued up another nice tune called "Miles Are Wide" (2022) from Victoria duo Ocie Elliott, a song whose melodic line echoes a figure from U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" (1987).
