Carnie's Comments

It's Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good ol' days.

It's a social post from comedian Ron James inspiring today's commentary. He posted a photo from backstage at the Second City Main Stage in Toronto from 1981. He was paid $350 for eight shows a week with 50% off at the bar.

It took me back to 1985 and my first job in radio in North Battleford. I made $800 a month - $825 after I survived my three month probation period. I didn't get any discounts at any bars which was probably a good thing.

The Gecko Band’s stated mission at its inception in 2000 was straightforward – to create a band that would deliver authentic, no-holds-barred rock music with heart, soul, and the kind of energy that connects instantly with audiences. The band from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico has taken that mission and cultivated an incredibly loyal following in Western Canada.  

This Friday we are excited to bring back our Taste of the Summer Charity BBQ, running from 11:30am - 1pm in front of the Innovation Federal Credit Union where we'll be selling burgers, a drink and a bag of chips for $10, with 100% of the proceeds going towards our charity of choice; Southwest Crisis Services.

Canadian rock legend Darby Mills, the “Queen of Scream” and former frontwoman of multi-platinum ‘80s band The Headpins, will bring her touring rockumentary True Story to the Orpheum Theatre in Estevan on Sept. 27.

Rob Carnie - One more thing, we should mention household hazardous waste day is coming up Saturday, September 6. It's a program that more and more people have been taking advantage of over the course of the past few years, and that's a good thing.
