As I get older I spend more time looking back over material I’ve posted on the ‘Net and reminiscing. Sometimes I come across things I’d totally forgotten about, some in the category of “Hmmm, why did I post that?” or “Now that’s hilarious”, etc. This week I’ve been looking back over Grateful We’re Not Dead blogs, videos, songs, pictures, etc. and I ran across a couple interviews from 2009. The band was just 6 years old then.

Here’s the memory I retrieved:

Grateful We’re Not Dead was interviewed by CBC Reporter Julie Ireton on November 9, 2008. The interview was aired on January 5, 2009 on Adrian Harewood’s All In A Day. Much to our surprise, following that broadcast, Julie contacted us to say that Alan Neil wanted to use Don’s “Over Sixty Blues” on Bandwidth, his show out of Toronto. He was preparing one with the theme Blues You Can Use.

Now we figured at most a portion of the song might be played during the show. Imagine our surprise when we heard Alan and Julie doing an introduction of the band including some of the original interview and a verse from a second Grateful We’re Not Dead song written by Don, “At Least Once Every Minute”. I guess we can claim those two appearances on CBC Radio One as our Fifteen Minutes Of Fame.

BTW, our original blog (2007-2013) was located on BlogSpot at Grateful We’re Not Dead
