Welcome!

"when used in folk and bluegrass music, the instrument can also be referred to as an upright bass, standup bass, bass fiddle, ...doghouse bass, dog-house, ...or bunkhouse bass." (Wikipedia)

My father, Charlie, played the bass in a Canadian band in the 1950s hence the name!

Website will be under construction as time permits…

The website is an avocation not a vocation. I’ve been away from it for a while due to a number of personal and family reasons. I had plans to divide this into two separate websites, one radio related, the other history related. This may yet come to pass or I may just reorganize this website. It just sort of evolved as I added stuff I considered cool enough to share.

Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Some of my other (mostly) web based gigs:

Webmaster, Columnist Ontario DX Association (this too is undergoing a major overhaul since I “inherited” the job.

Columnist Monitoring Times magazine (available wherever fine books and magazines are sold, as they say)

Beginning Blogger : Programming Spotlight, Programming Matters

Owner/Moderator of the AM 740 Yahoo Group begun by my good friend, the late Brian Smith. For many years, I was Gilligan to his Skipper. Now I do my best to keep his creation going.

As you can see with all these projects going on, as well as life’s usual twists and turns (and a few curveballs), this little project (my firstborn as it were) has suffered. But fear not. I’ve been accumulating some cool new stuff to share with you.

Stay tuned…

Each year I devote a page to some of the seasonal favourites heard at Christmastime and the end of the year. Click the link below to see whats coming up.
