In return, I had access to a place that was like no other, and met not only Don Cullen but many people whose names were, and in some cases still are, well known.

As I was either in college or working, my stints at the desk were only on Fridays or Saturdays, which were mainly music nights. But there were a few other talents as well.

Some names? In no particular order: Amos Garrett, Al Cromwell, Jim McCarthy, Ian Tyson, Gord Lightfoot, Mary Jane and Winston Young, Carol Robinson, Jackie Burroughs, Damiano, Barrie Baldaro, Greg Winkfield, Doug Brown, Bruce Whitehead, Neil Broadfoot, Don Mank, Terry Quinn, Bram Morrison—those and others whose faces are with me but whose names are gone.

And last, but definitely not least, Chick Roberts.
