Join Anthony in a fascinating (and fun) exchange of musical anecdotes with award-winning Canadian music historian, journalist and author John Einarson. Hear how both Anthony and John caused Paul McCartney to reflect on life’s mysteries (well, fame and memory) and how both impacted performances by Led Zeppelin. This is far more than just two old guys swapping stories about bands and music they love, it is a reflection on how music is far more than just a series of modulated sounds received by the ears. John is an award-winning author of nineteen music biographies with many on The Globe and Mail bestseller list and several ranked among the top ten music biographies.
In 2006 Einarson received the Association for Recorded Sound Collections Award for Excellence in the category of historical recorded sound research. He has published hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles worldwide including Mojo, Uncut, Goldmine, Discoveries, Record Collector, and Classic Rock magazines and is a regular contributor to the Winnipeg Free Press, wrote the Juno-nominated documentary Buffy Sainte-Marie: A Multimedia Life for Bravo TV and served as writer and consultant for the Neil Young Biography episode on A&E TV. John also curated the exhibit Shakin’ All Over: The Manitoba Music Experience displayed at the Manitoba Museum in 2010 and teaches music history classes at the Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts and is a frequent commentator on music history for radio, TV and internet podcasts.
In 2016, John was the recipient of the prestigious Manitoba Order of the Buffalo Hunt in recognition of his extensive work in preserving Manitoba’s music history. John will be returning to Anthony’s YouTube channel to do a two hour “Incon” live broadcast, when the two old codgers will explore in much greater detail the history and influences of Country Rock. In the meantime check out John’s website where you will find links to his own, very popular, podcast, blog and descriptions of his books and articles https://johneinarson.ca/
