Brent

I have developed a bad habit of emailing Brent Bambury over the last few weeks. I can't help it. Those of you out of the Eastern Ontario range of CBC radio will only know him as the former host of CBC TV's
Midday and the current host of Radio 1's
Groove Shinney. Luckily for we in Kingston and East, Pembroke and south he is the 4 to 6 guy on
All in a Day as well. While he is a solid interviewer and can hide a double entendre in a chit chat with the news guy, his music choices are frankly amazing for the time slot, the station and the city.
Badlands by Springsteen was the one that blew me away the other day. He also played
Daytime Nighttime by Keith Hampshire for Ross after a week's worth of pestering. While Halifax's Don Connelly still reigns as the greatest local presence on CBC, Brent is a close #2.

Check out Dar Williams' cover of Highway Patrolman off badlands. Amazing.

Steve! Your rocker star status has been dented ever so slightly. "Badlands" is a tune off of <i>Darkness at the Edge of Town</i> and "Highway Patrolman" is a tune off of <i>Nebraska</i>. Ross is going to have words for you...

Since you're new to the "internet", I'll go easy on you. I was referring to a cover album released on SubPop records: Badlands: A Tribute to Springsteen's Nebraska.
Rock star status: restored.

Sorry, Steve.
