CHRISTMAS CREW, 7min., Canada Directed by Moumita Das “Christmas Crew – A Story About Collective Kindness” is a heartwarming documentary that follows the inspiring journey of John and Junie White, affectionately known as the Christmas Crew. What began as a simple act of generosity in their living room has blossomed into a remarkable community tradition, transforming the lives of many in Cape Breton's Sydney and Glace Bay areas. https://www.facebook.com/dasmoumita Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? I am always drawn to human interest stories. They captivate me because of their realness, and I find immense joy in discovering and sharing the stories of real-life heroes. By pure coincidence, I came across the Christmas Crew, a group of kind-hearted people who spread joy during the holiday season by providing turkey dinners to those in need. Their generosity and compassion inspired me to create a film that would tell their story and share it with the world. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talk about your film in the feedback video? The audience feedback was invaluable. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to watch and review my film. I was overjoyed that they appreciated my work, and winning the Best Human Interest Film award, as chosen by the audience, was a truly humbling experience.

Is there a geographic link to comedy, a humour gene unique to Eastern Canada? Ron says he learned the power of laughter at his father's knee in Glace Bay and then Halifax. That's why he loves to tour, he says laughs are truly the bottom line.Like so many comedians, Ron got his start at Second City in Toronto. Then he moved toLos Angeles, and hosted a TV show. Alas, the show was short-lived, so Ron moved back and wrote a book called “Up and Down in Shaky Town: One Man's Journey Through the California Dream”. It got turned into a CTV special, then he wrote and hosted “Blackfly” on Global, and “The Ron James Show” on CBC. And he tours! Ron has been selling out theatres across Canada for years.

Joe Hughie Macintyre (1891-1968), Rathad Fraingach(French Road) Cape Breton county, The tunes are Tulloch Gorum, Sandy Cameron, Eight Men of Moidart, Miss Proud. Joe Hughie was descended from Duncan MacIntyre, Clanranald's mid 18th century piper. The family came to Cape Breton in 1826 and piping continued to play a prominent role with successive generations producing 28 pipers and chanter players down through the years after immigration. I was taught to play by Joe Hughie's first cousin, Angus MacIntyre of Glace Bay. Joe Hughie only started to read music after his retirement so many of the recordings I have, many with piano accompaniment, reflect some of his later repertory., but there are still a few gems among his own music. I provided several of the tunes in his repertory in both The Cape Breton Collection of bagpipe music and Play It Like You Sing I, Volume 2: https://capebretonpiper.com/content/play-it-you-sing-it-volume-2 .This last book has 249 tunes from various areas of Gaelic settlements in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Since no two pipers played the same way from area to area, I have transcribed the music with minimum grace-noting since most pipers will add their own embellishments anyway. I am also including the reference from Joesph MacDonad's Treatise, regarding paying dance music and doubling up of the notes which describes the piob embellishments used and most examples listed can be found employed by CB pipers I have recordings of. Not exactly as they played in 1800 perhaps, but still some shadows of two the tunes were played.” Here are some ways you can support the show: You can support the Podcast by joining the Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/wetootwaag You can also take a minute to leave a review of the podcast if you listen on Itunes!

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother's Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Mike McKenna, Jr. Singer-songwriter Mike McKenna Jr. has become a rising star on the Canadian music scene; with a raspy, soulful voice, his warm indie folk and Americana tones, and songs laden with captivating storytelling. Born in Glace Bay and raised along the Mira River, Mike's songwriting aesthetic points heavily to his roots growing up in small-town industrial Cape Breton. Over the course of 3 studio albums, he's brought us the nostalgia of his home through carefully chosen narrative, poetry, protest, and true stories about life and death in Nova Scotia's coastal, working-class communities. Mike's newest record At the Edge of the World (2020) continues to be met with incredible support both in Canada and internationally. In just over a year since its release, Mike's sophomore album has received a long list of awards and nominations; WINNER of the Rising Star Recording of the Year by the 2021 East Coast Music Awards (along with nominations for Contemporary Roots Recording of the Year and Fan's Choice Video of the Year), nominee for Contemporary Album of the Year by the 2021 Canadian Folk Music Awards, nominee for Americana/Bluegrass Recording of the Year by the Music Nova Scotia Awards, and nominee for 2020 Album of the Year by Blues and Roots Radio. It was also listed on the Bluegrass Situation's 'Class of 2020 Playlist, Absolute Best of this Year's Roots Music Releases'. Several songs from the record have received high-profile features and recognition, including Spotify Editorial playlists Renegade Folk and Contemporary Folk, Mahogany Sessions' Acoustic Coffeehouse and Chilled Folk Vol. 3, The Bluegrass Situation's 'Mixtape', Americana UK, Exclaim!, Canadian Beats, Roots Music Canada, The East and many more. Two songs from ATEOTW finished as semi-finalists in the world's largest songwriting contest, ISC (International Songwriting Competition); the opening song and title track At the Edge of the World in 2019 and the 7th song of the album, High Ground in 2020! Produced by Victoria's Quinn Bachand (Rosier, Kittel & Co, Brishen), At the Edge of the World delivers a bigger sound than Mike's previous records, lead by his incredibly raw, confident vocals and surrounded by a beautiful mix of electric and pedal-steel guitar, electric bass, vocal harmonies, strings, piano and drums. During post-production it would then pass through the talented hands of Canada's top analog specialists; mixing engineer Jon Anderson (Andy Shauf, Rosier, Foxwarren) and Grammy-nominated mastering engineer, Juno/Polaris winner Philip Shaw Bova (Father John Misty, Feist, Bahamas).
