Ethnomusicologist, professor, and writer Gillian Turnbull is my guest on the show this week. Gillian is a fascinating woman with a powerful social voice, and she provides some great commentary with lots of laughs during our discussion.

Tune in to hear about her boozy encounter with Jim Cuddy, her theory as to why Billy Joel doesn’t get as much respect as Springsteen, why she loves Rush, and her affinity for Neko Case’s scatological emphasis – the lady drops an F-bomb with style.  Check it out.
