This is the 22nd episode of our special series ‘Guest Glimpses’, short bits from longer conversations with previous guests. You’ll hear about 10 minutes of each guest’s 60+ minute chat with show host Dan Hare. Featured guests this week are:

CATHY YOUNG - singer/songwriter, guitar player, producer, and voice over artist who won the 1974 Juno award for Best New Artist. In this bit Cathy shares: the watershed moment that started her career; how her face ended up on a 22 store mural: becoming part of the Yorkville music scene of the 1960s, and much more.

JOHN EINARSON - award-winning author, music historian and recipient of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections Award for Excellence who has researched and written a total of 19 music biographies and many articles about the Canadian music scene. In this short clip John talks about: becoming a music historian; his collaborations on the autobiographies of Randy Bachman, John Kay of Steppenwolf, and Ian Tyson; why Burton Cummings threatened to sue him, and more.

JIM VALLANCE - four time Juno award-winner for songwriter of the year, and one of Canada’s pre-eminent songwriters and the creative force behind top tracks for artists like Bryan Adams , Aerosmith, Glass Tiger, and Prism. In this clip from his chat with Dan Hare, Jim talks about: why it’s great to be ‘in the background’; meeting Bryan Adams and why this collaboration works; co-writing Bryan’s hit song ‘Summer of ’69’, and more.

JANE SIBERRY - incomparable, multi-fasciated person and performer known for such hits as ‘Mimi On The Beach’ and dueting with k. d. Lang on the song ‘Calling All Angels’. In this clip Jane shares: why studying science led her to meditation; the importance of the energetic connection between performer and artist; why she produces her own music, and more.
