mostly Canadaian content eh? .............just play the Greatest Canadian musician ever - DEVIN TOWNSEND and you have 35% just with his genius music.

I agree with progholic....Devin Townsend for 24 hours a day. Seriously, have you heard Addicted?  I can't get it out of my CD player.

Tullman - I check out your demo later tonight. Sounds like a pretty cool opportunity - great for you!

But recently the same station manger that fired me , started talking to me again he wants me to do a show again,  he  gave a framework to work within' , the manager not being a fan of Prog , in fact he 's more an ol'fart that got off on AM radio back in the "70's. Now (cjmq.fm which the link also for their web page) is a soft rock station but with some room to choose your tunes, especial in my case because I intend to pre -record each show of mine at home.
Now I'll give you the link to download my first demo I intend to give him ,  I need your opinion for that show (the download link is at the bottom of the page)

my attentions for the show are toplay all these radio friendly tunes but to slip in a few prog songs,remember the show is being broadcast in Canada ,so there are certain rules I have to follow , mostly the Canadian content (35% what is being broadcast has to be considered Canadian content).

Tullman - sorry to derail this post with DT stuff. Someone asked me last night to describe the "Addicted" CD, and I said...."Abba meets Rob Zombie". There's really nothing else quite like it. It's definitely heavy like Terria, but with a dance beat, and great female vocals.

Listening to your demo right now...

Tullman - you're demo brought back some great memories of listening to college radio when I lived in Bangor, Maine (remember the King Biscuit Flour Hour?).

April Wine - great underrated band.
Pendragon - what a pleasant surprise!
Easy Street - great and nearly-forgotten classic rock song (I'm a big fan of Johnny Winter, and used to try to emulate his playing when I was younger).
Convoy - too damn funny! Wait...do you actually get requests for that?

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Tullman, I know that a lots of DT songs sound heavy and agressive, but there is also a lots of a musical beauty behind that, a lots of great layers of melodies. People new to DT would need some time to get used to that sound, and the compositios. But once you they get that, they would never regret.
Anyway, DT has released tons of material, and on each one of his CD there are a few songs which are "radio friendly".
The first one which really caught me a few years ago, was "The death of music" from the album BIOMECH. (Ocean Machine)
Anyway, Canada has a lots to offer. So don't worry, with "our help" you will be able to play only Canadiens. Well, plus the non Canadians like Genesis and Yes-oops -even the new Yes singer for is Canadian guy.

Great show under these conditions, Tullman! Was it really Bassman at the end? I like your announcements (and those of your dog) so i could even enjoy the Hollies! But what were those 3 tracks you played before Roadhouse Blues?
Sorry for the opinion of this manager (guess because of the 3 tracks i'm asking for), but if this show was too heavy i fear there will be nothing else but your beloved Styx to be played...

oh I know there's tons of stuff from Canada I could play just from BC there's plenty  Klaatu's Dee Long has produce some interesting stuff as a band by the name of Moscow fish and that's just because it's real new to me I mention those bands, as for classic bands you have plenty also

here is the next demo I'lll present, it's softer format but I like it better it leaves me more room for prog rock ,if he accepts it. The real demo has an hour and forty five minutes( gotta leave room to insert the adds), but on this upload I left out the discovery part of the show which is about thirty minutes so what you have left is less then 80 minutes so you can download this demo and burn it on CD if you wish.

Not my cup of tea, but I would tune in anyway because I know I'm going to hear stuff I've never heard before. Definitely old school though.

I apreciate your opinion and I agree it's old school , but I  want to do it that way purposely...
