Pledge Drive 2010 is underway and off to rousing start. Thanks for all who pledged so far. There is still plenty of time to pledge at www.cjam.ca
You can still dedicate your pledge to Cowboys & Indies even though our pledge show is now history. Thanks for all your support!
Since it was a pledge drive show there was far less music and much more talking. It was a Rewind! show, in abridged form. There will be more Rewind! shows coming up in the lead up to The Festive 50 countdown in December. We featured a couple tracks in memory of Gregory Isaacs who passed away this past week.
Here are the few tracks we played;
gregory isaacs - my generation/magic bus
strangelove - the greatest show on earth
the seers - welcome to dead town
madness - the wizard
bow wow wow - cow boy
belle stars - the clapping song
simple minds - room
the chameleons - singing rule britannia (while the walls close in)
carole pope - johnny marr (cc)
the bodines - therese
pigbag - sunny day
gregory isaacs - so lonely

It's heeeeeeere! CJAM 99.1FM Pledge Drive for 2010.
Hello family, friends and supporters;
The pledge drive at CJAM for 2010 is underway. It's the one time a year that we ask you, the listener, to support the daily quality programming here at CJAM 99.1 FM.I hope you will call me during my show, Cowboys & Indies (tomorrow), Saturday between 10pm - midnight and make a pledge. The show will be live as usual and in the Rewind! style.
The phone numbers for you to call are in Windsor 519-971-3630 and in Detroit 313-963-6112 ext 3630. Operators will be available to take your pledge and give some cool CJAM swag as a thank you.
For those not in the Windsor/Detroit area, streaming the show online or listening through the archive at a later date you can still contribute as well. Just surf on into www.cjam.ca and click on the donate tab in the top right hand corner.This is a SAFE , SECURE way to support your favourite station in the world! Your info is not sold, used or leaked in any way, you're way too important to us!
This year’s theme is: Watt’s Up? The Rally for Reach! Some background info: In 2009, CJAM changed its frequency to 99.1 FM This altered the broadcasting range of our listening audience. While we’ve gained new supporters, we’ve also lost the ability to broadcast in areas that are home to long time listeners. A power increase from our present 500 watts to 1,000 watts, will allow us to reconnect with these listeners while expanding the reach of our broadcast areas. Our fund-raising target for 2010 is $25,000. This will help us begin the application process to the C.R.T.C. and Industry Canada while helping to pay for the necessary technical expertise and equipment required for this power increase.
That's it. Thanks for reading. I hope to hear from you live tomorrow night. Call even just to let me know that you donated through the website. I'd like to thank you in person (or voice). Thanks for supporting CJAM!

Some business first. The 2010 CJAM Pledge Drive is two weeks away. CJAM needs your assistance (your donations) once a year to help cover the cost of big expense items. This year the goal is to double our broadcast wattage. That will help CJAM reach more people in the Windsor/Detroit area. So make sure you support CJAM during any one of it's fine programs. Remember no amount is insignificant. If everyone who thought this donated just $5 we would hit our goal in the matter of days.

Show tracks for Sat. Oct. 9/10
UB40 played Caesar's Coliseum here on Thursday. They were fantastic. So good I'm disappointed that they only played 1 1/2 hours. I could have gone for more. They featured a chunk of tracks off Signing Off, in anticipation for their UK dates. Didn't miss Ali (that's a compliment as to how they good they were) until Red Red Wine. The only track I wish was done a little better. Overall an amazing show. So as always we open the show with a track they played at the show (a favourite of mine as well).
Two hours doesn't last very long anymore. I ran out of time again. Didn't get to the Dinosaur Pile-Up lp, next week for sure. Of course, in just a matter of a couple weeks there be hardly any new material at all. That's OK because I've got some special Rewind! shows in the works for the lead-up to the holiday season. Stay tuned for those announcements.
Remember you can stream the show online at www.cjam.ca and download it through the archives if you missed it. I'm always open to requests. Call during the show or message me through this blog. If I don't have it I can always make sure to feature it the next show. There business done, now the goods;

engineers - there will be time
shimmering stars - atmosphere (cc)
-----

yuck - rubber
exit calm - don't look down
-----
