**Voice Work & Demo**

Well, I've certainly done more than my fair share of talking over the years. Most of it has been as an On-Air radio announcer, but I have also read hundreds of commercial scripts, emceed concerts and other events and also made a few TV appearances along the way.

I am often asked to voice commercial spots and perform other "Voice Work". Here's a sample of how some different tempos & styles can sound like
Below is a very brief résumé in case you're interested in hiring my "pipes". 

Radio:
A wide range of Commercial spots for various stations and companies, including CKUA & MIX97.7: Corb Lund: Syncrude: South Country Fair: Alberta Views: HSBC Bank Of Canada: Stadium Nissan: Alberta Innovates: Ian Tyson: Lyle Lovett: Guy Clark:

Voice-Over:
6 Rides To Sunday
(Documentary nominated in “Best Multicultural” category for a Golden Sheaf Award at the 2010 Yorkton Film Festival): Providing narrative / descriptive track for the visually impaired.

**Interviews**

I feel honoured (as well as very lucky) to have interviewed many great artists and bands during my years in radio, some of them live in the studio, and others by phone.
Unfortunately I don't have copies of ALL of them, but there are many that I have archived and am making available for your listening pleasure.
Some are just clips, others are as they were originally aired (although they may not have music portions included), and some are in their "raw state" prior to editing, so you'll get to hear the whole shebang - warts 'n all!

2007: Blackie & The Rodeo Kings live on
Wide Cut Country at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. I hadn't seen the guys in a while and it was great to get them all together again on the show... even Tom didn't cause too much trouble!
2004: Merle Haggard phone interview. We were asked to keep the interview to 10 minutes max, but Merle kept talking and changing subjects. I think we ended up chatting for 40 minutes, but who am I to tell Merle to quit talking? Merle mentions Iris Dement's cover of "Big City", which I highly recommend if you've never heard it.

2006: Billy Cowsill Tribute Show included many phone interviews conducted with Billy's family & friends the week after his death on February 18, 2006. I'd edited & compiled the clips & music, but it was all put together & aired LIVE on February 25th. HUGE thanks to my good friend & colleague David Ward who kept us on the rails.

Happy Talk, Keep Talking Happy Talk...
2006: SXSW Sam Baker interview in Austin. The first time I met Sam, and right from the start (as many of you know) there's something about the guy that draws you in. CKUA listeners instantly adopted Sam. We've subsequently become great friends.
2006: SXSW Bobby Earl Smith interview outside Opal Divine's Penn Field location. Bobby Earl had recently released Turn Row Blues, his first album in some years, via the FAR dj mailing list, & met up at the 3rd Coast Music NOT SXSW showcase.
2006: SXSW Bruce Robison interview in Austin. Took place in Bruce's office above his studio just before the release of his Eleven Stories CD. His accountant had dropped off an advance copy at the hotel the night before. Bruce is married to Kelly Willis, and he also mentions his sister, Robyn Ludwick. He's Tall!
2006: SXSW Dale Watson interview took place in the parking lot behind Jo's Coffee Shop on South Congress in Austin, as did several others. Traffic, birds, people & coffee machines added ambiance & somehow made everyone at ease, including me.
2006: SXSW Hank III interview was in a nearby restaurant right after my chat with Dale Watson, & as you hear in Dale's interview, they're friends. Dale came over with me & I got a great photo opp w/the legendary Grandson of Hank Sr... an outlaw two-fer!
2006: Fred Eaglesmith released Milly's Cafe back in June 2006, and when I called him to do the interview he was actually in his truck & pulled off the road to chat for a while. Part 3 begins with a reference to Willie P. Bennett, who was with Fred for years, prior to his unfortunate death back in February of 2008.

2011: Gurf Morlix had just released his tribute to Blaze Foley: "Blaze Foley's 113th Wet Dream" when this interview aired, but it was recorded back in November 2010 when Gurf was in Alberta with Sam Baker and they hung out with me for a couple of days at Wide Cut Country HQ in chilly Pincher Creek.

2009: When Rosanne Cash released The List in October 2009 I was thrilled to be asked to do a phone interview with her. We had met briefly back in 2004 (see PICS page) and this ended up just being such a nice "chat" that I've left it raw and unedited.
2006: I spoke to Linda Ronstadt just before her August 9th show at the Jack Singer Hall in Calgary. It was the first stop on her tour with cajun singer/musician Ann Savoy with whom she had just released Adieu False Heart. With no superstar pretention at all, Linda signed off: "...if you need anything else just give us a holler"!

2009: Losin' Lately Gambler came out in September, & Corb Lund came by the Mix97.7 studio to talk about the disc (his first signed to a US label). The Lunds have ranched in Alberta for years, & in "Part 3" Corb shows his awareness of (& passion for) the environment, the subject matter of his song This is My Prairie.
