Guitarist and friend of the show Greg Fraser calls in to NSTS this week. He’s got a brand new band called Storm Force, with a brand new record, Age of Fear – and it’s been getting a lot of attention around the world since its release last week.

Because he’s such a great Canadian, Fraze brings in five Canuck tunes that make his skin vibrate. As always, we have some laughs and a great musical chat that includes catching Geddy Lee on an off day and Lars Ulrich’s opinion of Streetheart.

Fraze’s playlist:

Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush – World Anthem

Triumph – Magic Power

Goddo – AnacanaPanacana So Walk On

Streetheart – What Kind Of Love Is This

Rush – 2112 Overture

Happy New Year, everyone! To kick off 2020 I welcome a very special and unique guest to the show. Jon McMurray has been described as the man with no memory, following a severe head injury he sustained in his 20s. However, he does remember music – and it’s the bridge back to his previous life. 

His attitude is incredibly inspiring, as is his story, which he graciously shares with us this week through the songs that helped him recover after he awoke from his coma.

McMurray’s playlist:

David Bowie – Space Oddity

Beastie Boys – Something’s Got To Give

Sloan – I Can Feel It

A Tribe Called Quest – Can I Kick It?

Rheostatics – Fan Letter to Michael Jackson
