i've been hosting this show on cjsr for a wonderful 7+ years and it would mean the world to me if you called in to donate during my program at 780-492-2577 ext. 0.

the halloween fundrive special includes a slew of prizes from:

- winspear centre (two tickets to halloween night screening of silent classic hands of orlac, following a concert pianist who is given a murderer's hands in a transplant, to live accompaniment by the brilliant and hilarious dennis james at the mighty davis concert organ)

→ winspearcentre.com/CJSR

- didgin' for rainbows (keyboard-laden local band releasing their edmontone studio-recorded self-titled debut/swansong at the buckingham on november 14. record pictured here!)

→ https://www.facebook.com/events/2489378517816552/

- metro cinema (6-pack admission to this beloved local arthouse theatre and, on a personal note, home to the organ that was played at my wedding)

→ metrocinema.org

and guests? hoo boy, we got guests!

hammond hotshot dennis meneely will be heard live at cjsr's storied studio a organ. organa gardiner, the organic gardener (caitlin richards of imaginary landscapes), is dropping by too, as are a delightful baby strawberry (my daughter lisi), evil count cradula (chad brunet) and cjsr's reigning most reliable fill-in, ross nicoll (co-keyboardist of the aforementioned didgin' for rainbows).

seriously, donate. we need cjsr.

music with a high organic content this afternoon from 1-2 on cjsr fm 88.5.

listen for details on how to win tickets to my personal favourite organ event of the year (hint: every donor who gives any amount to my show in advance or on my fundrive show, which takes place october 30, is automatically entered in the contest)!

live at the winspear centre on Halloween night, past organ grinder guest dennis james provides live accompaniment for a giant screen showing of silent horror classic hands of orlac. thematically, this is an ideal fit as i pull out all the stops for my halloween fundrive special, with the film's grisly story of a pianist being fitted with the hands of a dead murderer in a totally routine operation.

there is nothing routine about this operation, featuring a live dj, costume party and drink specials. message me if you'd like to enter this draw and visit → winspearcentre.com/cjsr to learn more about the event!
