Well, I finally assembled enough material to fill the show, so last Monday evening I went to air! Thanks to all for your help and advice. I also found a net resource at allmusic.com which had a listing of covers that some of you may find of interest.
Here is a listing of the songs that I played:
Early Morning Rain / Peter, Paul & Mary / See What Tomorrow Brings
Early Morning Rain / Elvis / A Canadian Tribute
Early Morning Rain / The Travellers / This Land
Early Morning Rain / Ian & Sylvia / Early Morning Rain
Early Morning Rain / Jerusalem Ridge / Looking Back
Ten Degrees & Getting Colder / Nancy Griffith / Other Voices, Other Rooms
For Lovin' Me / Elvis / A Canadian Tribute
For Lovin' Me / Peter, Paul & Mary / A Song Will Rise
For Lovin' Me / Ian & Sylvia / Early Morning Rain
Ribbon of Darkness / The Pozo Seco Singers / I Can Make It With You
The Wreck... / Rheostatics / Melville
The Wreck... / The Shuffle Demons / Extra Crispy
Song for a Winters Night / Sarah McLachlan / Rarities, B-Sides & Other Stuff
The biggest challenge in searching for material was the lack of vinyl recordings. The collection at the radio station starts in the late 70's but is not extensive. The public library here disposed of most of its vinyl about 7 years ago. But I was able to find some collectors amoungst my fellow volunteer radio hosts that had large collections and were willing to search through them for me.
Unfortunately, our myCaster site is not in place yet, so I couldn't give you the option of hearing these for yourselves.
It has been fun. Thanks again for your help.
