   NSTS Episode 297 - Chilliwack Singer Bill Henderson

   It was my privilege this week to host Chilliwack singer Bill Henderson on NSTS, and the conversation was a lot of fun. Bill and I discuss the remaining dates on Chilliwack's current cross-Canada tour, the similarities between Chilliwack and Three Dog Night, why John Lennon sucks air through his teeth during "Girl", Bill's influence on Albert King (great story), his elevator encounter with Ray Charles, and the power within Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors".

   NSTS Episode 296 - UK Author Tom Doyle

   Mojo and Q magazine writer Tom Doyle has written a new book called Ringo: A Fab Life, and this week he joins me to talk about it. In the book, Tom recounts Ringo's unusual path into The Beatles, but he also sheds light on the many other lives of Richard 'Ringo' Starkey, including the fact that he was also a furniture designer at one time, and that he had Frank Sinatra record a playfully rewritten version of "The Lady Is A Tramp" specifically for his girlfriend as a birthday gift. The book is a fascinating, entertaining read, as is Tom himself during our interview. Fantastic chap.

   NSTS Episode 295 - The Return of Guitarist Sean Kelly

   My pal Sean Kelly wears a few different hats. He's primarily known as a Juno-nominated guitarist who's played with Nelly Furtado, Lee Aaron, Coney Hatch, Helix, and several other acts. He's also a music teacher, and the author of three books. He joins me today to talk about his newest work, the upcoming book entitled Battle Axes: A Hard Rockin' History of Pointy Guitars. The book examines the cultural and musical evolution of those wildly shaped guitars we've all seen, beginning with Gibson Flying Vs and Explorers, and progressing through later models produced by Hamer, Jackson, Charvel, Dean, and others. Throughout the book, Sean talks to some of the guitarists who helped put these companies on the map - Def Leppard's Phil Collen, GN'R's Gilby Clarke, Triumph's Rik Emmett, Twisted Sister's Jay Jay French, and even Metal Method's Doug Marks! Let the guitar geekery begin.
