On Wednesday, ahead of his Thursday night show at the Capital Ballroom, our Victoria pal dropped in for a chat about having now built his third recording studio, working on his new album Pilgrimage with Joel Plaskett,  what his pilgrimage is all about, and more - and he played us a tune from the new album.

A few years ago, Randy Bachman was reunited with a long-gone guitar after spotting it in a video. Now, the same thing is about to happen: after researching a guitar which a customer brought in to sell, Geoff, the owner of Alloy Music in Langford, discovered that belonged to Randy and was stolen from his Salt Spring Island studio in the 90s. He'll put it back in Randy's hands during The Guess Who's show tonight at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. Image: Alloy Music via Mark Bowman Images

Derek Edwards will bring his Oxy Moron Tour to the McPherson Friday March 20. The funniest man in Canada - according to Rick Mercer - rang me up for a chat about Super Dave, his comedic influences, touring with John Byner, and more.

Naomi Snieckus, along with hubby Matt Baram, are the writers and creators of Big Stuff, which began yesterday at the Belfry Theatre as part of this year's SPARK Festival. To keep, or not to keep: that is the question posed by Big Stuff, and the answer is up to you. Naomi got in a phone booth and gave me a call last week to talk about the play. Image: Belfry Theatre
