You're listening to Acoustic Avenue. This is Ted Crouch, your host with co-producer Joe Little in Calgary, Alberta. On Acoustic Avenue, we recognize with respect and gratitude that these lands where we live, work, and make our music remain home to a number of indigenous nations and people. We acknowledge this land out of respect for the indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. A big shout out, and we want to make it loud. Peter North in Edmonton, Alberta, who planted the seed that fed the need for creating this idea behind the theme for this show called Pump Up the Wattage at the Cottage. Far from ordinary and closer than you think. West of the Rockies, east of the Pacific, and north of the Okanagan where Canada's longest highways meet is the Shu Swap. We are a region of eight distinct and enchanting communities, flowing together like the gentle waters of our namesake, Shouswap Lake. Whether you're here for an hour, a day, a week, a month, or you are one of the many who call this piece of paradise home. Welcome. For the next six episodes, we're bringing a high-energy, hard-driving, rockin' and rollin' potpourry of some of your favorite tunes, and serving up a summer sizzle to get you through the rest of the season. Less talk, more music, so let's get rockin'. Here is Long John Baldry with Don't Try to Lay No Bougie Boogie on the King of Rock and Roll. And we close this set with Atlanta Miles and Black Velvet.
