    December is a time for family, friends, and reflection as we get ready to embrace a new year anticipating what is "Coming Soon"? I start with a reflection on Black Friday origins, Thanksgiving, Twitter-Tude, & questioning family doctor practices. Then I take a look back at the guests and segments of the 2024 show as we hold Top 10 status in Canadian shows for Self Help, before we look forward to this month's gusts and topics.

    1.
    Marina Piraino, a 16 year old Canadian artist released her debut single, "Coming Soon", which has been drawing attention in the radio community. Noted for her mature and modern sound, Marina joins us for this exclusive and open interview. She shares some unexpected insights on her music approach, including how she compares herself to some of her favourites like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Gracie Abrams. Her connection to family & music is inspiring, as is her oft-humble approach.

    2. Tony Cardenas Montana, is a Grammy nominated musician with gold & platinum accolades. He's also been a key member of the iconic rock band Great White & recently the late Jack Russell's Great White, now fronting the spin-off band, "Once Bitten" as well as "Shadow & The Thrill". Tony gets intimate in this interview as we dip in and out of his rock music, personal relationships, and business ventures, while reflecting on life and also having a few laughs. We also take a listen to: "Mista Bone", "Crazy", and "Bleeding Out".

    3. Glass Tiger Review is me taking a look at the Alan Frew lead band as they took their music stand in Richmond Hill with opening act, former Much Music VJ, Erica Ehm. Overcoming a picket-line delay at the Richmond Hill for Performing Arts venue, the band looked like they could have played all night and Erica like she could spin up Much Music again on her own!
