The Best And Most Refreshing Music Of 2017

Here are my selections of 2017's top musical excellences. 

As heard and shared on

 Corby's Orbit

this year, these are the 50 I've played the most, on air for friends, and at home.

We've been riding the internet radio revolution since the reactionary 2011 overthrow of CKLN.88.1FM,   

feeling a feverish allegiance to - and an alignment with - the creative (and mostly Canadian) 
sounds still emanating from the marvelous maverick musos and fearless lyricists amongst us. 

I shall continue weekly experiments in the juxtaposition of classics and new independent outcroppings of song on 

Radio Regent 

http://www.radioregent.com/

in Toronto, every Friday night forward,

 from five til seven 

- moving and shaking -

-dreaming dreams -

going round and round

forever it seems.
