Backbeat Radio
A radio show featuring Vintage Popular Music
They don't play on the radio

Broadcast on radio stations across Canada and the U.S.A. See below for a list.

It's Radiothon Fundraising week at CanoeFM so I will be in the studio from 9 AM to Noon with Nancy Norris playing some lively music, taking requests and encouraging all listeners to show your love for all the many volunteers that make community radio happen with a contribution, large or small. You can also win some great prizes and auction items so please tune in. Listeners to the other stations that carry Backbeat, and on-demand, will hear this newly-recorded, regular show. Of ourse, you can always contribute to your local community station using Backbeat as your inspiration.
