1~2~1 with Errol Ranville - C~Weed Band featuring "Forever" recorded: May 2012 ****** I was given the opportunity to chat with one of Canada's legendary artists of First Nation ancestry. Errol Ranville, founder & front man for Manitoba's C-Weed Band has been making music since the 60's & continues to perform in 2024. I've lost count of the number of albums & cds Errol has released; "Forever" was his 19th & I dug deep into my piggy bank to help stage a celebration concert during my time with the MBC Radio Network in La Ronge, Saskatchewan. This interview is one of the many album showcases I loved to produce during my time in broadcasting, it also served as a fantastic promo for what turned out to be a stellar performance. C~Weed Band: Errol Ranville - lead vocals, guitar Don Ranville - drums Clint Dutiaume - lead guitar, fiddle Marc Arnould - keyboard John Irvine - bass Ashley Klassen - supporting vocals Enjoy more 1-2-1 Artist Features @ StaticContentCreations.com #Cweedband #cweed #errolranville #aboriginal #firstnations #forever #runasone #lasttraintofantasy #music #interview #showcase #albumreview #countrymusic

1~2~1 with Norm Macdonald recorded September 2010 ****** September 2010 I had the unbelievable good fortune to interview Canadian comedy icon Norm Macdonald as promotion for his upcoming stand-up show @ the Gold Eagle Casino in North Battleford, Saskatchewan Canada. I was sooooo nervous. I'd been a fan for Norm, and his unique brand of comedy, for a very long time. It was one of those times in my life that I had to really contain the "fanboy" in me. Here is the edited version that I aired on my radio show, stitched together to produce this video. Enjoy. #norm #normmacdonald #comedy #icon #snl #saturdaynightlive #weekendupdate #goldeaglecasino #comedycentral #standupcomedy #canadian #interview #legend #comedian #ridiculous, nothingspecial, hitlersdog, stanhooper,
