Several months ago, a regular listener suggested an intriguing theme: songs with numbers in their titles. He included a list that provided fodder for Stevie's brain. Tonight, I'll begin a series featuring songs with numbers in their titles and groups with numbers in their names. I'll start with the number one and continue to ... well, can you guess what number?

Yes, the middle of February means that it's time once again for our annual Loreena McKennitt special, and seeing as her birthday is on Sunday, it seems only logical to celebrate it in style! Loreena McKennitt is someone who has been a role-model for me in music and in life. She's a very patriotic Canadian and yet, in some ways, is truly a citizen of the world.
