Hi there, and welcome back to A Life That's Good, after a wonderful summer break.

I've been very lucky in my career to meet and interview a lot of well known people, so why was I so nervous about this one? Perhaps it's because, as the bassist for Gordon Lightfoot for 55 years, Rick Haynes has been an integral part of the soundtrack of my life. In this episode: * Being a career musician was not the plan * An encounter with Duane Eddy * Who was Gordon Lightfoot to Rick? * Musicians & Chemistry * Gord's legacy * The Lightfoot Band * Rick's favourite Li...

This week, we're going to stroll through the mind of our resident Millennial. If you've been wondering about some new music to listen too or what TV show you might like to binge this Fall, have a listen as we discuss that and a lot more. Also this week, a chat with our friend Christine Brandt about an amazing event that supports the Walkerton Hospital Foundation ... Run4Health, now in it's 13th year.

I've interviewed many celebrities in my time so I was surprised when I found myself feeling a little nervous to talk with Loreena McKennitt. , platinum and multi platinum sales ... awards in 15 countries on 4 different continents ... Juno Awards, Grammy nominations, 14 million records sold or this induction into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. Whatever it was, she had me feeling at ease in just moments and I think you'll hear why in our conversation. She's a delight and she's comin...

And of course, that greater cause in this case is our community! How cool is it when a group of people come together to do good things? It's that much better when it becomes a world class event and such is the case with the Lucknow Kinsmen and Music in the Fields. This week, marketing director for MitF's Cheryl Johnston joins us to talk about how it started and how it just seems to get bigger and stronger every year! Music in the Fields goes in Lucknow August 24th - 26th.

I'm not sure there's much I can say that I haven't said before. This is one of my favourite events of ...ever. The people, the music, the location all makes it feel like home. This week we're honoured to have the artistic director of Goderich Celtic Roots Festival, and our friend Cheryl Prashker in the studio. We are excited to get to know a little bit more about her ... When did you know you had to have a career in music? How did you end up in Goderich after travelling the world with so many w...

This week we (Boomer and Milli) kick off the show with a few memories of our recent honeymoon in Scotland.

Pride is all about being seen and celebrating who you are. Today on the program ... Two fantastic humans, Tim Damon of Huron County Pride and Fort Papalia of Kincardine Pride are here to talk about two very important organizations that ar...

Some claim that Queen Elizabeth II once commented that Goderich was "the prettiest town in Canada" although to my knowledge ... no reigning monarch has ever visited the town on the shores of beautiful Lake Huron. And whether you choose to think of it as the prettiest town in Canada, the town with incredible sunsets ... the town with an octagon in the middle that we call a square but you drive around in a circle ... or resilient or friendly or (insert your adjective here) ... I will always just ...
