So where do you get the vintage local stuff? Does CJSW have a massive music library vault? Just hard to believe they have the space to store so many local records from so long ago. And I can't imagine they have the resources to digitize everything. Or did you source those older songs elsewhere (i.e., from your own collection or Calgary Cassette Preservation Society)?

Thank you for the kind words! It is a real pleasure to research and broadcast this show.

The Calgary Cassette Preservation Society is my best resource for classic local music. It is a brilliant archive:

IIRC, we have about 70,000 CDs, records and cassettes in our library. All the local music has been digitized. All the CDs we get are removed from cases and stored in thin sleeves in big drawers to save space.
All our welcome to come have a tour of the station - Saturday mornings I am often there.
Big shout out to Dirty Needles for an excellent Prince tribute last Friday. Listen here:
