in New Orleans jazz music back to Toronto, where he's played every week
for the past 28 years at Grossman's Tavern on Spadina Avenue. He tells
stories about New Orleans and about the Grossman's community in Toronto.

October 12: Kate and Anna McGarrigle are two of the most individual
songwriters in the business. They draw on their musical beginnings in
St. Sauveur, Quebec, and the Appalachian influences of their early days
in the 60s, among other sources, and transform these into personal,
emotional songs about lives and relationships.

October 19: Victoria native Daniel Lapp is a musical phenomenon. He's a
virtuoso fiddler, trumpet player and singer. He's represented Canada in
Ireland and Shetland, and took part in this year's True North concert in
Inuvik. He teaches many students, and has organized his students into
the popular B.C. Fiddle Orchestra and The Fiddle-Harmonic, a unique
celtic/jazz fusion experiment. He's creating his own brand of west
coast dance music based on the Canadian fiddle tradition.

SUNDAY SHOWCASE

Long Gone Lonesome Cowgirls
by Philip Dean

Vicki is a single mother living in a small Australian town. Vicki also
carries an amazingly bright torch for Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn and
all other things American. Meanwhile, on the other side of that same
small town, Rae's husband Earl has just hopped into his big old Cadillac
and disappeared into the vastness of that subcontinent. As one might
expect in such a small town, Rae and Vicki's paths soon cross, and they
forge a friendship that helps them cope with both the good and the
hurtin' times. And, of course, Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn are
always on hand to lend them guidance. Long Gone Lonesome Cowgirls was a
winner of Australia's Matilda Award, and was produced in Melbourne for
the Australian Broadcasting Corporation by Justine Lees.

IDEAS
9:05 p.m.(9:35 NT) CBC RADIO ONE

Monday - HOPING - part ten of 20/20: A View of the Century by Canadian
writer and historian Michael Ignatieff. As we reach the end of our
century, what is there to hope for? We are better off than any people in
history, wealthier, more knowledgeable. So why does there seem to be so
little hope -- about our future, our children's future, the millennium
ahead?

Tuesday - What has happened to the visual art of our century? Why
doesn't art look the way it used to? How have we come upon a state of
affairs in which, to so many of us, fine art doesn't look like art at
all? What is the intention of the art of our century? Toronto writer
Barbara Nichol puts these questions to artists, curators and theorists.
(Part III)

revolutionary figure of this century. His image is still seen on

Thursday - The drive to balance government budgets has affected the
public funding of universities in Canada. How far are they prepared to
go in soliciting private money?
