Sean Barrette is an author who has since written a book "Heartstrings - First Guitars" Heartstrings – First Guitars, is a collection of memories from a variety of musicians, famous, semi-famous, up and coming, anonymous, or otherwise, about the guitar they learned on, the first guitar they bought with their own money, the first “good” guitar they owned, or the beloved first-line guitar that accompanied them on first songs, first shows, first tours, or first recordings. These short, narrative pieces, tied together with first-time author Sean Barrette's memories of a life and career spent immersed in music, tell a story that demonstrates that, no matter the guitar player, they all have this first guitar story and love to tell it. It's the thread that ties all guitar players together, but these stories also provide insight into the very beginnings of many of the musical artists we love. It may even provide insight into the guitar player who lives with you. Or encourage someone to pick up a guitar and get playing themselves.

On the Saturday December 23, 2023 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we have look at some of the greatest Christmas songs of all time. First we meet Moe Berg, one forth of the Trans-Canada Highwaymen, a new band that consists of four of this country's best rock singer-songwriters,  Sloan's Chris Murphy, Odds' Craig Nothey and former Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page.  The album, “Explosive Hits Vol. 1,” is covers of Canadian AM rock radio hits from the 1960s and 70's and it's super fun. Moe Berg and I talk about the new album, and then get into the spirit of the season as Moe talks about a Christmas song he wrote with the Pursuit of Happiness and a tune he loves so much, he has a plaque with the lyrics. “Furious Devotion” author Richard Balls joins me to talk about “Fairytale of New York,”  a song that is an Irish folk-style ballad and was written as a duet, with the Pogues' singer Shane MacGowan and Kristy MacColl as bickering former lovers on Christmas Eve. A song about their youthful hopes crushed by alcohol and drug addiction doesn't sound like a Christmas cracker, but in the UK it was the most-played Christmas song of the 21st century and re-enters the music charts every December. We'll also get to know Larry Weinstein, director of the documentary “Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas,” a musical documentary about the amazing story of a group of Jewish songwriters who wrote the soundtrack to Christmas, and we'll learn how the Cuban Missile Crisis inspired one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time. Finally we wrap with Brent Butt, the star, writer and/or producer of TV shows such as “Corner Gas,” “Hiccups” and “Corner Gas Animated,” and the author of the best-selling thriller “Huge,” and home designer, television host and producer, best-selling author, sought-after public speaker, and host of her own special Tuscan getaways Debbie Travis on their favorite Christmas songs and stories.

In 1938, German scientist split the atom for the first time, and the nuclear age is born. The Nazis give the task of building the Atomic Bomb to Nobel Peace prize-winning nuclear physicist Werner Heisenberg. In response to the threat of Hitler with nuclear weapons, the United States government devises a plan to send someone after the German scientist to ascertain the validity of the intelligence recieved, and assassinate Werner Heisenberg if it is credible...

Paul Harvey - Moe Berg

Moe Berg from the great Canadian power pop rock band The Pursuit of Happiness is our guest. He tells us his "Best Song I Ever Wrote," and we get the amazing story behind the song. Don't miss this interview with one of rock's great songwriters. 

In the summer of 1942, Stanley Lovell, a renowned industrial chemist, received a mysterious order to report to an unfamiliar building in Washington, D.C. When he arrived, he was led to a barren room where he waited to meet the man who had summoned him. Lovell became the head of a secret group of scientists who developed dirty tricks for the OSS, the precursor to the CIA.

Nicholas Dawidoff is a journalist and author whose books include The Fly Swatter, In the Country of Country, and The Catcher Was a Spy: The Mysterious Life of Moe Berg. His new book is The Other Side of Prospect: A Story of Violence, Injustice, and the American City, which is about gun violence and life chances in New Haven, Connecticut. New Haven is now considered a type of demographically representative city that social scientists study to understand trends across America. Nicholas Dawidoff and Chauncey are both from New Haven, CT and came of age there, more or less, during the same decade(s) and in neighborhoods that were too far away from one another. Nicholas and Chauncey reflect on how New Haven has changed over the years, the neoliberal gangster capitalist onslaught and how it has hurt local communities, gun violence, justice, the color line, life, nostalgia, local history, and the meaning of home. On this episode of the podcast, Chauncey DeVega shares a recent personal experience that shows, again, how you can be a hero in your local community. He also shares some positive and uplifting emails from the good kind members of The Chauncey DeVega Show Secular Church Family – and of course an obligatory hate mail. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

Gerry Young is President of Current Records and Management, and author of the 2011 biography Pop Goes The Weasel: Rock And Roll Off The Record, available at Indigo/Chapters, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com. He has recorded and managed Juno Award winning bands Martha And The Muffins and The Parachute Club among others.SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: PAUL MANCHIN – SALUTATIONSYou may not have heard of Canadian singer/songwriter Paul Manchin until now, but chances are you will be hearing a lot about him soon, due to the release of his latest CD Salutations.Although having previously released six digital albums, and having his music featured on compilation recordings for Rock America, Play Network, and Screenplay, Manchin has been satisfied to remain somewhat anonymous, while working with some of the finest Producers/DJ's including Matt Forger (Paul McCartney), Chin Injeti (Eminem), and Spyros Poulos (Madonna) who produced the remix of one of the finer tracks on Salutations called “Spin”.In Salutations, Manchin brings all that history and those influences to bear, and delivers an eclectic number of songs and instrumentals, that range from the whimsical first cut and single “Take A Ride”, co-written and produced by The Pursuit Of Happiness' frontman Moe Berg, to what should soon be dance club favourites like the “Black Jack” remixes, “One” and “King”.However, my personal favourite on Salutations is the highly infectious “Spin”; backup vocals by 80's Candi from Candi and the Backbeat, and produced by the aforementioned Spyros Poulos.With the impressive collection of songs included on Salutations, 2017 should prove to be a breakthrough year for Manchin, and further anonymity will be an impossibility.SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: PAUL MANCHIN - SALUTATIONS - The Spill MagazinePaul Manchin - YouTubeSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Eds heads back out to the hill and pours one in; and for the first time it's one that Sean has heard of before but not with such insight into the life of Morris, possibly Moses Berg. A man who not only managed to hang on in the majors for an extra ten years because of one day that changed the course of his career, but also a man whose later exploits changed the course of history altogether. 

Musician/songwriter/producer and founder of the great power pop band The Pursuit Of Happiness - Moe Berg - talks with host Paul Romanuk about Side Two of Paul McCartney's debut solo album, McCartney (Moe and Paul discuss Side One in the previous episode). Topics covered include Moe's take on what he considers to be the finest post-Beatles song written by any of the four Fabs. Moe also tells a great story about meeting one of his musical heroes - the great Joni Mitchell - at a very small and intimate gig she played in the studio of the old Canadian music channel MuchMusic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wn2qaUhtxM (Here's a link to the show he's talking about.)

Founding member, chief songwriter and singer for the amazing Canadian power pop band The Pursuit of Happiness, Moe Berg, digs into Paul McCartney's 1970 solo album McCartney with host Paul Romanuk. Moe, a self described "McCartney guy", talks about how the record resonates differently with him at this stage of his life and career than it did when he first heard it as a kid. Moe also talks about McCartney's gift for melody, even on some of the tracks on the album that only sound half-finished. And he also relates to McCartney not wanting to record an album "that would have sounded like a Beatles album", from his own experience of recording his first solo album away from his band The Pursuit of Happiness. Here's the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pursuit_of_Happiness_(band) (Wiki page on The Pursuit of Happiness). Be sure to visit Moe Berg at his website https://moeberg.ca (moeberg.ca.)
