YOUR COMMENTS.......
  • (from James Murphy)......and to anyone who hasn't listened to Don's show - do it! The guy is a legend, and if it wasn't for him, I probably would never have done a show in the first place - so now you know who to blame lol"
  • Love the music and features. I work for the US Postal Service and you make a boring job a little better.
  • Play more lost songs from the 70s,such as Rubicon and im gonna take care of everything and the flirtations nothing but a heartache, also would like to hear the forgotten instrumentals, not the same old instrumentals over and over
  • I like the music
  • I like the music  I like the format  I enjoy the features - Joey, Al, Michael, Rollie, TV Tunes 
  • Good job all. I don't remember how I first heard of your 'cast. Probably a search for rock radio. I wanted a music only feed, but I've been listening to most episodes since. I enjoy Don's talk and the features even though I wasn't looking for a mix of talk and music.
  • I don't live in Canada and am most impressed when you play older songs from Canadian artists or songs that I may not have heard. This is your real strength and opportunity to differentiate yourself from other oldies pod casts. You obviously can't play only Canadian artists, but I would like to hear more and get detail on the background of the artists.
  • Yeah! Keep doing what you're doing!
  • Current balance music/talk is good.  A DAILY podcast would be great!
  • Hey Don, Programs are always interesting! Great music, and great themes.
  • Just keep doing what you are doing.  Really enjoy your show Don, I work midnights take you with me.
  • Visit the DAILY SMILE page often.  Luv da show.
  • Maybe bring up a topic you find important, release your opinion, and ask listeners to email you their opinions and then read select emails on the next episode of our podcast.  Visit the THIS DAY IN BROADCAST HISTORY page often.
  • Some hobby - great way to spend 75 minutes each week. Thanks
  • Thanks for the friend request on Face Book, have been listening to your show since last December, its about time I let you know I’m listening.......midnights are the lonely shift and I crave good programming for my Ipod, your show is that for sure, I do miss Doc Harris he had the best 60s at six........Keep those tunes spinning, I can hear you have quality equipment sounds excellent, The only improvement you could do for your show, is an eight hour program every day, then I wouldn’t have to record some of the stuff out there, to get me through the night. Now to give my age away, a request from my late teen years 1969 Kenny Rogers and the First Edition Something's Burning , Please send it out to (..........)
  • Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

    I tend to use the 'Happy Holidays' since I work at a company with many people from Asia that are Buddhist, Hindu, and other non-christian religions, but but you are correct in saying that it is a cop out for the political correct gurus. 

    A special thanks to you for the bonus Christmas Eve Show! I'll be listening as I drive east for my Christmas dinner later today.
  • Many thanks to you and Al regarding all the Olympic coverage over the last number of weeks. The compilation of Canadian Gold at the start of today's program was superb!

    Looking forward to Al's weird and wonderful sporting news on your next program.

    I have also had countless opportunity to remind my US colleagues that in most countries on the planet, the Olympic winner is determined by the number of gold medals won. Geeze, I wonder who achieved that distinction in 2010??

    Hats off to Vancouver in doing Canada proud on a world stage.     
  • I can only imagine what goes on behind the scenes to get this show to its current state. These efforts are truly appreciated.

    Vancouver has put on an incredible Olympics despite some of the weather related difficulties. It should be most interesting to see the closing ceremonies.

    Although Canada has no chance of catching our friends to the south in total medal count, wouldn't it be nice if we could take more gold than them? We could then say that this was the whole intent of "owning the podium."

    I do hope that Canada plays the US on Sunday for gold. Despite Mr.Miller's heroics, wouldn't it be nice to treat our friends to the same level of hospitality that Mr. Ovechkin and company received last night???

    That's it for now but keep up the good work and ON TIME!
  • I've not had opportunity to comment on your format changes. I thought the previous arrangement was great but this one is even better.

    I do not get much chance to listen to a European perspective on music so James's easy to access material is enlightening.

    Don, the blood-sweat-tears that you and your helpers put into this weekly venture is greatly appreciated. Your passion for this subject is most evident.     

  • I am still listening and you should be proud on how the program is evolving, though I must admit that I enjoy the music more than the historic moment discussions.  Appreciate the background on Canadian Music.  How about having Rollie the Goalie do a feature on dead NHL teams; I grew up on the California (Oakland) Seals….RIP and damn Charlie Finley-who drove the franchise into the ground!

    Thanks for starting the Canadian artist of the week feature.  Here are a few others to think about with a suggested song for you to consider.  I would prefer to mainly hear songs that maybe weren’t the biggest hit for these groups.  I know you already play a lot of these musicians on your show, but this is what came to mind.

    Edward Bear- Close Your Eyes

    April Wine- You Could Have Been a Lady

    BTO- Hey You

    The Band- The Shape I’m in

    DeFranco Family- Heartbeat is a Love Beat

    Five Man Electrical Band- Absolutely Right

    Guess Who- Star Baby

    Stampeders- Carry Me (Never heard it….but understand it was popular in Canada)

    Mashmakan- As the Years Go By

    You are helping to keep the music alive.  Keep up the good work.  It is much appreciated and obviously a labor of love for you and the guys.
  • Podcast 185 - So far I have just listened to the intro (I will have the pleasure of listening to the whole disk tomorrow) and it just blew me away.  Wow!  Great job!
  • Many thanks to you and Al regarding all the Olympic coverage over the last number of weeks.

  • Great show this week with the new programs; love Al Murphy’s Trivia segment.  I can’t wait to hear the Trivia question about who the worst owner in the history of the NHL is!  Charlie Finley wins this hands down. 

    Also love the Double spin of one artist.  Del Shannon was a great choice.

    I thought of one more Canadian act that I don’t remember you ever playing…..Lighthouse.  How about a double spin of One Fine Morning and Pretty Lady to fulfill the Canadian spot and Double spin both?  I love this band and never hear them anymore; even on satellite radio.

    I noticed you played Houston by Dean Martin this week.  I don’t know if that was for me, but it was cool anyway.  I spent most of my life in California, but am becoming more Texan everyday.

    Thanks for listening and the great work.

  • Don't change a thing...I like the segments and all of the music.  Play more Beatles and Stevie Wonder !!
  • You're doing a very good job. Thank you! (or Thank you for the music)
