Sean Kelly has a lot going on. He teaches music. He started his own band (Crash Kelly )and plays in two others that tour (including in Europe ) Coney Hatch and Lee Aaron. He has written one book ( Metal on Ice ) and is publishing a second one in the spring of 2023 ( Don’t Call it Hair Metal : Art in the Excess of ‘80s Rock)

 But most surprisingly perhaps he had a top selling classical album and played behind  Nelly Furtado's Spanish influenced album on tour and then in some of her other albums. Sean talks with Tom about his passion for music and for not missing a thing.

Andrew tells us the story of the making of  a Canadian Gem, one of the top selling Canadian albums of all time , Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. It won a Grammy and was turned into a successful Broadway stage show.

Tom reviews a recent concert by the great Jeff Beck... still amazing even now.

Some tunes to play they talk about:

We're not going to take it. Twisted sister

Metal Queen. Lee Aaron

Ironic. Alanis Morissette

You oughta know.  Alanis Morissette

Hand in my Pocket.  Alanis Morissette

All I really want to know. Alanis Morissette 

Fly like a bird . Nelly Furtado

This week our featured guest was the singer, guitarist and keyboard player  with some iconic Canadian Bands.... Coney Hatch, April Wine and The Guess Who.

Carl Dixon is considered to have one of the best and most distinctive voices in Canadian rock.

He also has a solo career and written a book (and is an inspirational speaker )about his life and in particular about recovering from a devastating car accident that almost ended his life and kept him off stage for years.  He eventually made a triumphant return playing even though one arm was rebuilt with titanium inserts.

He and Coney Hatch are  about to go on tour in the UK with  the band British Lion with Steve Harris the founder and leader of Iron Maiden. In the past he toured with Iron maiden, Judas Prriest , Triumph and Ted Nugent. His songs have been used in tv and film

As well Andrew brings you another Forgotten Gem... this week Images in Vogue.

Best of Guitar Riffs. From Whole lotta Love to  sunshine of your love to Louie Louie...what are the guitar riffs you love the most and are the most memorable?  DO you agree with their choices ? Also a new doc about Shania Twain and BBC  goes all in on the lives of the Rolling Stones.

The guys have  a discussion about "Session" musicians.Talking about people who used to do this or used them on albums . Famous ones include Hal Blaine, The Swampers,  Chris Spedding on "New York City", Steve Lukather  on "Thriller," And there are some surprising names ...the E street band and The Wreaking crew. Is there still such a thing as session musicians who can make a living doing this or is it a dead art? 

And a new  Under the Radar with Jacquline Kenyon.
