On this weeks show as we prepare for the holiday season, it's fast to ignore possible signs of issues with ones mental health. Certain events over time can trigger an episode which can be life or death for some.

I'll be talking with 2 mental health advocates from NF, Glenn Roil and Tina Olivero. It'll be the second time to talk to Glenn, but the first for me to talk to Tina.   Glenn Roil is a global mental health advocate. His mission is to de-stigmatize mental illness and mental health and make sure everyone who requires access and treatment receives the programs and services that they need. Glen has been very open about his own mental health struggles and was the public face for mental health with the Provincial Government’s anti-stigma campaign on mental illness and addictions called “Understanding Changes Everything,” which was launched at the Premier’s Summit on Health Care.

Tina Olivero is a mother first and foremost who lost her son this past summer to addiction and is the brains behind the group Guardians of Recovery. Guardians Of Recovery provides innovative recovery solutions that include programs for families with addicted loved ones and SOBER Healing Homes for those in Recovery. We are creating Sober Communities because we believe everyone has the right to be free...drug free. A benefit concert, Ben's Law - The HUMAN RIGHT to LIVE addiction FREE! was held last week and the response has been overwhelming.

I will remind you that this weeks podcast may not be for everyone as there will be talk about suicide and mental health issues.

Woot woot!! Today is Monday, November 20th and it’s a greeeeat day.   Today is not only my 52nd birthday but another podcast.

Sons of the legendary Lloyd Snow - Down East Boy. I’m not telling you the song but you’ll be blown away. I have not listened to it of course but the title is one you’ll know. Recorded by the one and only David Fitz.

Another bday gift for you all is I’m super stoked about my interview this week with what could and should be a singer songwriter that has the ability to be on the air all over Canada. Right now it’s my privilege to talk to her and play her music here and in rotation on Jigs & Reels Radio KW on live365.com.

After talking with Asetha Power - Country Eastern, I came up with this weeks podcast and thinking you're going to like what I have in store.

Back when I did the show the first time around, not many musicians from NF were female.  Since the show began again, I am finding so many amazing and talented female artists and so with that said, this coming podcast will be dedicated to them, the Women of Newfoundland Music.

I'll be playing a ton of artists from the women pioneers like Joan, Joy,  Trina to today's artists, Tammy , Asetha, Laura Lynn, Shanda and many more for the 90 minutes.  Not only going to chat about the musicians but 2 women who own and operate restaurants here in Ontario that cater to the Newfoundland community.  Yes, I know there are more out there and you all are appreciated but I'd have to have my own radio station to go through them all, lol.  Maybe one day.

So be sure to tune in live every Monday night at 8PM EST on www.ckwr.com, and of course can listen to past shows online on Spotify, Apple Music and MixCloud.

Will also be talking to Natasha, the shows Music Reporter, about this weekends Music NL events and awards being handed out in Corner Brook.

We’ll talk about the Highwaymen tribute shows going on and the comments about it, if only they took that show to the mainland.

Also new music, in fact, a new compilation CD my from my brother Fitz. 10 track CD that are available for purchase from the artists featured on the CD.

And ALL proceeds from the sale of this CD will go towards Tom Christopher. He’s a childhood friend of  Dave and grew up in Bay Roberts and spent time in Toronto. Doesn’t play or sing but can write songs like no tomorrow. Tom has 7 brain tumors and cancer in other areas and so this is dedicated to him and all sales to him and his family.

Other new music tonight from Gary Wells and Cyril Ingram. They’ve come together to write, arrange and sing these songs you’ll hear tonight.

Also talk about an amazing singer/songwriter who is opening up for Shanda at The Ship pub in St. John’s on November 4th.
