"The beauty of community radio is the freedom you have," Terry explains. "The Tie-die wearing 'Dr. Cosmic' first came out of a short lived Jazz Show in the mid 1980's, while the 'Brother of the Blues' character came about when the Blue Brothers were headlining the Dutch Mason Blues Fest in 2013... and they wanted us to do some promotional videos. That was a lot of fun!"

Born and raised in Yorkshire, England, Dave Booth emigrated to Canada in 1960. Three years later he debuted one of this country's first late night blues radio programs, "Big D. With R&B" on Kitchener's CKCR . In 1965, CKCR was sold & was renamed CHYM. For over a decade, Booth and his alter ego, "Daddy Cool" exposed CHYM-FM listeners to a heady mixture of blues, rock and soul music through his popular Sunday evening "Kaleidoscope" show.

In 1976, Dave was offered the 9 pm to 1 am on-air shift at, the then fledgling free form radio station, CFNY-FM. Booth happily accepted the position and moved his family to Toronto. The popular "Daddy Cool's Bluestime" remained on the Brampton airways until 1988 when the station adopted their "New Music" policy.

The following year the Toronto Blues Society presented Dave "Daddy Cool" Booth with their prestigious, Blues With A Feeling" award. This was in recognition of his continuing promotion of blues music in Canada. On June 14th, 2008 Booth returned to the airways again, This time broadcasting his music shows over Stouffville, Ontario's volunteer community station, Whistle Radio, 102.7 FM. Dave Booth is thrilled that his programs are now added to the "Blues Radio Canada" lineup. Enjoy them and remember to please tell a friend that "Daddy Cool" is back in town!

For 8 years, Scott Wilkinson has been the host of the award nominated blues radio program, “The Blues Never Die” on CHRW radio 94.9fm. Music has been his passion since an early age, collecting vinyl and many rare recordings, an obsession  over 4 decades. Scott’s love for the blues came through his love of rock & roll. He wanted to hear what influenced many of the rock artists that he listened to, and most of the time it was blues. This led him down a lifelong road of loving the blues. Scott is a founding member, and has sat on the executive committee of the ‘Great Lakes Blues Society’. He has spent multiple years on the selection committee for the ‘Jack Richardson Music Awards’ and also multiple years as a judge for the Great Lakes Blues Society’s, “Road To Memphis” competition. As a radio host, Scott has had the pleasure of interviewing scores of artists, and helping produce several live-to-air recording sessions. Mid-July finds Scott as MC of the ‘Lighthouse Blues Festival’, in beautiful Kincardine, and when not immersed in music, he can be found on the golf course.

Tanya's life has been immersed in music from a very young age. First joining her parents in their band at age 3 to now leading her own 6 piece Blues band. For the past four years, Tanya has been Scott's partner on the Blues Never Die, and the transition from stage to DJ has been a natural one. With her love of entertaining and sharing her favourite blues music with everyone, being a DJ is one of her favourite jobs.
