CKMS News -2025-07-24- Local opposition to the provincial government’s ‘Bill 5’ continues
dan kellar
Kitchener, ON – Before shutting down the Ontario legislature on June 9th for a four month summer break, Doug Ford’s conservative party rushed through new legislation that gives the government the power to ignore environmental and labour laws and bypass Indigenous rights through the creation of so-called “special economic zones“. Bill 5, also gives the government the ability to ignore planning regulations and municipal by-laws for new developments which it deems “critical”.
This show features an interview with Kitchener Centre Green Party MPP Aislinn Clancy about the new legislation and the ongoing work the Green Party is doing to bring awareness and support Ontario residents in pushing back against the new legislation. Thousands of Ontarians have taken part in protests against Bill 5, and the Green Party has been touring the province speaking with organizers and holding community meetings.
Also included is a statement CKMS News received from the office of Kitchener Conestoga Conservative MPP Mike Harris Jr, defending the legislation.

Bob is joined by three members of the Steely Dan tribute band, Gaucho: Johnny Keys, Kathryn Scobie, and Peter Morrison. They talk about the intricacy of Steely Dan music, the musicality, learning the music, the lineup of the band, a bit of musicological comparison for “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”, and Gaucho‘s upcoming gigs.
The interview starts at 4m28s.

Gaucho |
| 4m28s | Introducing the members of Gaucho who are in the studio: JT or Johnny Keys, one of the co-founders of the band; Kathryn Scobie, trombone and backing vocals, and the newest member of the band; and Peter Morrison, drummer and the other co-founder of the band. Started the project three years ago, and it was all Johnny’s fault. Although JT was not a Steely Dan fan, he was intrigued by the musicality while in university. Years later they got together, just to play Aja, with Jeff (JD Maas) and other musicians. | ||
| 9m30s | Steely Dan is old music, is it still popular? Yes! It was popular amongst audiophiles and a “certain” genre of people, but now it’s mainstream. When you’re playing Steely Dan then you’re not only playing, but listening to the music. It was the song Gaucho that was a favourite, they became hyperfocused on it, and is partially responsible for naming the band. JP (John Pagnotta), the sax player, hit the notes perfectly. Other band members came on, everyone feels like they belong. Kathryn thought she was getting spam when JT first asked her to join. The first thing she did was a vocal rehearsal. | ||
| 17m39s | Talking about the upcoming album! Radio Waterloo has pre-release tracks. | ||
| 18m18s | My Old School |
(unreleased) |
Gaucho |
| 24m15s | Bob remarks that Gaucho is a tight band. The music isn’t as difficult as people make it out to be, but you have to be very precise. One missed note can throw off the entire band. It’s jazz because of the chord structure, maybe not the rhythms. It’s really hard to pick it up by ear, so jazz is the only genre that fits. But the only improvisation is the endings of the songs. | ||
| 27m35s | Where do they get the music? Making charts by listening to the music; someone in England had transcribed the music. Hal Leonard, a music publisher, has a series called Note For Note which is how JT learned the music. Even Steely Dan stayed faithful to the score. Talking about using technology like Amazing Slow Downer to analyze the music. | ||
| 32m23s | Bob wants to do some side-by-side comparison musicology. Peter picks “Rikki”, JT is surprised by this twist in the interview. | ||
| 33m34s | Rikki Don’t Lose That Number |
 Pretzel Logic |
Steely Dan |
| 35m02s | Rikki Don’t Lose That Number |
(unreleased) |
Gaucho |
| 39m05s | Talking about the differences: The biggest difference is Jeff, the singer. Steely Dan was all male vocals, but Gaucho has female backing vocals. Bob finds that Gaucho is a lot more “guitar prominent” than Steely Dan, JT attributes that to the Brian, the guitar player. But early Steely Dan was a lot more rock-oriented. | ||
| 42m22s | Are there critics who don’t like Gaucho‘s interpretations? Not really, everyone seems to like Gaucho. It’s because of the members of the band, the stage setup, and the quality of the sound. The Jazz Room is known to have good sound. Talking about the Jazz Room gig on Thursday 24 July 2025. JT is always looking for new musicians to join the band, which Becker and Fagen of Steely Dan did too. | ||
| 44m40s | Introducing Peg. JT says they still haven’t perfected it, but since Kathryn came on board it’s closer. | ||
| 46m36s | Peg |
(unreleased) |
Gaucho |
| 50m59s | Bob notes that all the Steely Dan songs are long, over four minutes. JT runs down the line-up of the eight-member band. Will they all fit in the Jazz Room? Kathryn has performed with 20 musicians. JT hopes his keyboards will fit, Peter may bring only his bongos. Discussing the different instrumentation on Steely Dan numbers. | ||
| 55m35m | Talking about some other performances: Meaford on 22 August 2025, and Cobourg on 26 September 2025, and Penetang on 13 December 2025. More event listings at https://gaucholive.com/events/. How JT made a cold-call to the studio to book the interview. | ||
| 57m40s | Bob gives the end credits. | ||

CKMS News -2025-07-17- Waterloo Region launches pilot study to make roundabouts safer.
dan kellar
Kitchener, ON – The Region of Waterloo will be piloting modifications to three roundabouts to find ways to make them safer and more comfortable for pedestrians to traverse the intersections. The pilot program will run for a year from September 2025 when the modifications are installed, and a report is expected to be delivered to the Regional council in late 2026.
The 3 roundabouts included in the pilot are Homer Watson Boulevard and Block Line Road in Kitchener, Franklin Boulevard and Bishop Street in Cambridge, and Erb Street W and Ira Needles Boulevard in Waterloo.
This show features an interview with Darryl Spencer, the Manager of Transportation Engineering for the Region of Waterloo who told CKMS News that “statistically speaking we do have a good track record at our roundabouts… but we do hear feedback from members of the public that some of these roundabouts are a safety concern”.
Coming to you on a hot, hot evening (one of many this past week) with some smoking hot tracks. New and old, chill and bold, and everything in between, bringing it all to you wherever you might be!
