What a great song there by Dire Straits from their first album, of course, the self-titled “Dire Straits,” 1978, I believe it was. And it’s Welcome to the Langdon Auger Show. It is Monday, February 2nd, 2026. Thanks, everybody, for tuning in.

And it is, this is what looks like it’s going to be now the main time that we’re going to be doing this, between five and seven o’clock. And it’s going to be Monday, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We are going to try to do a Thursday night show, but it’ll be a later show between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., of course, Mountain Standard Time. So if you want to come in and listen then as well, feel free.

What we do here is we kind of play music that we like to hear. We also play music that you might want to request. I know Bret Hart is out there listening. We have some other listeners out there as well, so if you do want to chit-chat, just come down to the live chat here and put your username in. Make sure you save it and just throw a request in there. I’ve got 47,000 songs, so I might just have the one that you want to hear right at this moment.

But otherwise, we’re just going to play a couple of music. We’re going to chit-chat, depending on what’s happening in the live chat here. We’d also like to talk some mental health, so if you have a story you’d like to tell us, by all means, please tell us. If you want to send it to our email, of course, if you’ve checked out our website, you know we’ve got the live shows that we do here on the Langdon Auger Show. We put those on the website. You also know all our podcasts are on the website. Just go under the podcast logo. We also have a blog section where, if you wanted to tell your story, and I know some people said they’re going to be sending their stories shortly, you don’t have to put your name in it. We won’t say who it is. We’ll just not change your words. We’re just going to copy and paste it, put it on our blog section, and people can read that. You can tell your story, and sometimes just telling the story is great. But hitting that send button can get a little tough.

So if you do send that to me, I will copy it, paste it, put it on our blog section. The email address is heard, H-E-A-R-D, the buzz, B-U-Z-Z, at Yahoo.ca. I get your story, I will definitely put it up on the website. We only just ask for the colorful language to be toned down just a wee bit. That’s all, that’s it. You’re not going to say your name. You’re not going to, you know, say, “This is so-and-so.” That’s your story. Your confidentiality, privacy and confidentiality, all about that. But we’re also about helping people with mental health, and, of course, music is our way of doing it.

We’re going to play great songs today. We’re going to play the ones that maybe even you want to hear. So let’s get to that. We’re going to start off with a little CanCon here, just because we can. How about some Gino Vannelli?

“We’ll be right back.”

The universe. And I certainly hope you’re not alone in the universe. Remember, there’s all…

00:20:00

[Recorded interlude omitted.]

00:20:04

…kinds of people out there. Sometimes you just got to reach out and just say, “Hi, how are you doing?” Just like we’re doing on the chit-chat here. All you got to do is come on down, put your username in, make sure you save it, and just say, “Hi, how are you doing?”

I got a little rushed today. I didn’t quite make it here on time to get really prepared for the show. I was out buying some more music to add to the radio station, so I apologize for that. But we’ll get better next time. We’re doing this again tomorrow night, starting at five, running through until seven o’clock. And I’m just wondering if there’s anything in your life that has changed recently. Great tune about change coming right now.

One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs, definitely in the top ten. Of course, that’s “Traveling Riverside Blues.” And before that, Canada’s very own Haywire, “Dance Desire.”

We’re going to be having a dance portion of our show later on, so get ready for that. Whether you’re chair dancing or whether you actually get up and physically dance, it’s up to you. Most people just like to chair dance because it’s a little easier. And when you get old like me, you probably don’t want to fall down and can’t get up, right?

And we started off with Tracy Chapman and “Fast Car.” So we are here, Mental Health Radio, and this is what we’re for. We’re here to play some music, try to play some of your favorite songs, songs that you want to hear. And we always like to do, you know, a one-word check-in and just how you’re feeling today. So if you want to come down to the chat room there, just one word, tell me how you’re doing today. We’ve got some Joan Baez going up by request for GP, Pink Floyd as well. But first, a great tune from this guy.

00:40:50

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

00:47:45

That’s a great song by Pink Floyd, and, of course, that’s from the “Pulse” album. But, yeah, what a great song that is.

This starting over again, having to do something differently than you had to, whether it be a change of jobs or whatever, you have that feeling of learning to fly because you have to learn how to do things a little bit different.

And before that, we had some Joan Baez, “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” and Elton John started off that set with “Daniel.” How are you all doing? We’re 45 minutes into the show. We’re here till 7 o’clock tonight, so really, we are taking your requests. We already had one from GP, but I know there’s other people out there listening in. So if you want to hear something, welcome back to the Langdon Auger Show. It’s here, and we’re here till 7 o’clock. And, of course, we’ll be here tomorrow at 5 o’clock. So right now, we’re going to play some Kiss. Hope you enjoy this one.

Well, great tune there from Roxy. Sorry, that is Sweeney Todd, and it’s “Roxy Roller.” And, of course, Nick Gilder decided he was a little bit too big for the band, even though that was a monster song. He decided that he was the band, so he left the band and went on a solo career. Never quite found the success that he would have had if he stayed with Sweeney Todd.

But do you know who replaced Nick Gilder in the band Sweeney Todd? Pretty easy, actually: Bryan Adams, because Bryan Adams was up and coming, so everybody thought he was the next great one, and he was as a solo artist. And before that, the B-52s with “Rock Lobster.” Kiss started off that set with “Deuce.”

How are you all doing? It’s almost to the first hour of the show. It means we only have an hour left. I want to thank everybody that is tuning in tonight. And also, don’t forget that we do take requests, so if you want to have anything, I’ve got, what is the official count here, 47,457 official songs. So we might have something that you want to hear.

Right now, we’re going to start it off with “The Mummer’s Dance.”

01:02:25

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

01:17:33

What a great song there from Terry Jacks, “Seasons in the Sun.” And I did ask on the chat: what band was he in before he began a great solo career? No one got that one. It’s the Poppy Family. I know. And now you’re all going, “Oh, yeah.” Yeah. Streetheart in before that, “Little Tin Soldier.” Eagles and “The Long Run” started off with Loreena McKennitt from her “Book of Secrets” album. A little different version than what we’ve been hearing recently, so I was pretty happy to find that version. And, of course, that is “The Mummer’s Dance.”

Thanks for tuning in. We’ve got about 45 minutes left in the show. Plus, we still have the dance portion of the show coming up. We got a little delayed in that because, obviously, I was out buying more music to add, and I didn’t have time to prepare for the show, so I just threw stuff together. And now we’re getting lots of requests, like Terry Jacks, “Seasons in the Sun.” And this one heading out to Oliver. Never mentions the word addiction.

01:19:30

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

01:33:38

Michael Jackson with a little “Black or White.” I was reading that totally different. I’m sorry. A Jelly Roll in there with Wire as well. Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, by request, “Sylvia’s Mother,” and another request, the Black Crowes with “She Talks to Angels.”

01:35:08

We’ve got like a half an hour left, so I’ve got lots of songs for you still to come. Hopefully you’re enjoying what’s on. I want to thank everybody for the requests.

But there’s always something that we like to do on The Langdon Auger Show. Sometimes it happens a little bit earlier. Sometimes it happens a little later, toward the end of the show. But it’s the dance portion of our show, so it’s that time. So make sure you’re hydrated. Unfortunately, Oliver’s just drinking Crown Royal, so he’s no good. But maybe he can stretch out and do the drunken chair dance. Maybe. I’m not just saying. It’s possible.

But, yeah, we’re going to get to, speaking of drinking Crown Royal, it’s time for “Time in a Bottle.” And then our dance portion of the show. Enjoy.

Morrison with “Moondance.”

01:48:10

In before that, our dance portion of the show, a little Snap. The LP version of that one, and “Rhythm Is the Dancer.” And Jim Croce going out by request. A little “Time in a Bottle.”

It’s almost time for me to say goodbye, but we’re going to play another set here and we’ll come back. Got a couple of requests coming your way. We’re going to try to get Uriah Heep, “Magician’s Birthday,” on tomorrow’s show. But we do have some Uriah Heep coming up. Billy Joel’s coming up as well by request, so enjoy.

01:49:29

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

01:58:12

Tune there from The Cars, and that’s quite possibly one of my favorite Cars albums or songs, anyway. And it is definitely in the top three for The Cars, and it’s from their self… or the “Candy-O” album of the same name. That’s it, I finally got that out. And, of course, before that we had some Uriah Heep. Not quite the request. Sorry, Mike. We’re going to try to get “The Magician’s Birthday” on tomorrow, a little bit longer of a song, ten minutes, so we’ll try to get that on tomorrow. And also by request, Billy Joel with “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me.”

We’ve got great stuff coming up. Want to thank everybody for tuning in tonight. Don’t forget that we’re going to start doing this Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night, 5 p.m. till 7 p.m., and then we’re trying to do a late show on Thursday, which will start about 8 o’clock. We’re going to kick it up a notch on the Thursday night one. I know some of you can’t make that time, but if you are around Thursday night, 8 to 10, check it out.

We’re going to have some great tunes. We’ve got some Dick Dale coming up, a lady that inspired so many of the electric guitar players, like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. She’s coming up, Sister Rosetta Tharpe. We also have some Bill Withers coming up, but we’re going to end it all with a great tune from Bronski Beat, “Smalltown Boy.” Thanks, everybody, for tuning in. We’ll talk to you tomorrow at 5 p.m. Mountain.
