Mar 2, 2024
Every once in a while there’s a week that goes by that is
blessed with great conversations.
Somewhere down that road, I decided that instead of choosing one
interview over the other, why not have them both share the
podcast.
March 2, 2008, was the day gifted singer/songwriter and truly
remarkable man Jeff Healey lost his
battle with cancer.
We had a great long-distance friendship. Every time we reconnected,
we fell into an easy chatter that always ended up in laughter. Good
man.
I was gutted by his loss. Still am.
Roger Costa is the co-administrator/archivist of The Estate of Jeff
Healey.
He’s currently leading the production team shooting the
documentary
See the Light: The Jeff Healey Story.
That film and my interview with Roger will come later this year or
early 2025.
In the meantime, I wanted to remember Jeff on March 2 with someone
who knows him well. Roger Costa.
Harry Hertscheg is a regular listener to this Podcast. He listens
to it while biking through busy Vancouver traffic to and from
work.
Work is being executive director of the hugely successful
VanWineFest which is just wrapping up.
Almost 20,000 wine fans have attended seminars, winemakers dinners
and large and small tastings.
The feature region is Italy. 71 Italian wineries sent their
best.
Next year the feature region is the USA.
Here’s a conversation with the completely engaging and informative
Harry Hertscheg.
Enjoy the ride Harry.
