The Edge On Folk is broadcast every Saturday from 8am to noon, Pacific Time, on CiTR fm 101.9 in Vancouver, and live on www.citr.ca < wherever you are. The show has been hosted by Steve Edge, more or less every week since June 1985! It is now syndicated on CHIR fm on Saltspring Island one week later on Sundays at 10am, and Wednesdays at 5pm. (Their website is: chir.fm < 

R.I.P. Dave Mason: I was abducted by aliens* and transported back to March 7th. When I pleaded with them that I had no desire to relive the past few weeks since Dementia Donny attacked Iran, they relented and brought me back. So The Saturday Edge On Folk started half an hour late and ran half an hour late to 12:30pm today. Phew, what a trip! Thanks to Ciara and Jasper (their earthly names) for bringing me back! 
This allowed me to pay tribute to English guitar-slinger / songwriter and founder member of Traffic, Dave Mason, who died this week. Until his obituary came out I did not realize it was he who played the acoustic guitar which drove Jimi Hendrix' great cover of Dylan's All Along The Watchtower all those years ago. Also featured lots of new music and an extended sample of Irish trad from the great Dervish, who play in town tomorrow.

* - that's my story, and I'm sticking to it! (The alternative story is much less interesting, and involves an "alien invasion" of CiTR's sequencing program, which decided to run the March 7th edition of the show, and caused me to solicit emergency rescue assistance from Ciara Reid and Jasper Sloan Yip of CiTR to run the correct version of today's show! Hence the 30 minutes of "overtime"!)
