Apologies for not updating for the past month. An illness kept me away from my computer.
SCOTT WALKER’S
MUSICAL ALMANAC is a popular weekly feature
that ran for more than
12 years on CBC Radio.
It
tells the stories behind some of the musical anniversaries of the
current week.
THE ALMANAC contains stories from the Big
Band era, Broadway, the Movies, the pre-rock years, the early
years of rock'n'roll, the British Invasion,
and the post-Sixties
musical scene.
The information in THE
ALMANAC is drawn from a database of historical events, which
currently contains more than 5,100 entries.
