My omnivore mind runs on eclecticism (and demands regular feeding), so it follows that I would like a radio program that offers me music ranging from 16th century devotional music to Caribbean calypso. André Alexis has returned to the airwaves with a marvelous summer program named Skylarkin', in which he plays music that he likes, tied together with a few small stories.
Mr Alexis's last venture into radio broadcasting started slow, then quickly became very good indeed, so I have high hopes for this new series. A few more stories would be nice (hint hint)...
Mondays at 6:30 PM (7 PM NT) on CBC Radio Two and Fridays at 9 PM (9:30 PM NT) on CBC Radio One.
PS a la Amazon: if you like this, you might also like the rebroadcast series of 'American Mavericks' (hosted by Suzanne Vega), about the truly innovative composers in American 20th century music (second link below).
