neg: Georges Méliès filmography Georges Méliès ( 1861 -- 1938 ) was a French filmmaker and magician generally regarded as the first person to recognize the potential of narrative film . He made about 520 films between 1896 and 1912 , covering a range of genres including trick films , fantasies , comedies , advertisements , satires , costume dramas , literary adaptations , erotic films , melodramas , and imaginary voyages . His works are often considered as important precursors to further developments in modern narrative cinema , though some recent academicians have argued that Méliès 's films are better understood as spectacular theatrical creations rooted in the 19th-century féerie tradition .   After attending the first demonstration of the Lumière Brothers ' Kinetoscope in December 1895 , he bought a film projector from the British film experimenter Robert W. Paul and began using it to project short films at his theater of illusions , the Théâtre Robert-Houdin , in Paris . Having studied the principles on which Paul 's projector ran , Méliès was able to modify the machine so that it could be used as a makeshift camera . He began making his own short films with it in May 1896 , founded the Star Film Company in the same year , and built his own studio in Montreuil , Seine-Saint-Denis in 1897 . His films A Trip to the Moon ( 1902 ) , The Kingdom of the Fairies ( 1903 ) , and The Impossible Voyage ( 1904 ) were among the most popular films of the first few years of the twentieth century , and Méliès built a second studio , complete with artificial light fittings , in 1907 . However , various factors ( American film piracy , price standardizations prescribed in 1908 by the Motion Picture Patents Company , and the waning popularity of fanciful magic films chief among them ) led eventually to Méliès 's financial ruin and the closing of his studio . His last films were made under the supervision of the rival filmmaker Charles Pathé , and in 1922 -- 23 Méliès sold his studios , closed the Théâtre Robert-Houdin , and discarded his own collection of his negative and positive prints . In 1925 he began selling toys and candy from a stand in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris . Thanks to the efforts of film history devotées , especially René Clair , Jean George Auriol , and Paul Gilson , Méliès and his work were rediscovered in the late 1920s , and he was awarded the Legion of Honor in 1931 .   In the list below , Méliès 's films are numbered according to their order in the catalogues of the Star Film Company . In Méliès 's numbering system , films were listed and numbered according to their order of production , and each catalogue number denotes about 20 meters of film ( thus , for example , A Trip to the Moon , at about 260 meters long , is listed as # 399 -- 411 ) . The original French release titles , as well as the original titles used in the US and UK versions of the Star Film catalogues , are listed in the body of the filmography ; notable variant titles are provided in smaller text . The parenthetical descriptive subtitles used in the catalogues ( e.g. scène comique ) are also provided whenever possible . Films directed by Méliès but not originally released by the Star Film Company ( such as The Coronation of Edward VII , released by Charles Urban , or The Conquest of the Pole , released by Pathé Frères ) are also included . Where available , the list also includes information on whether each film survives , survives in fragmentary form , or is presumed lost .

neg: Character (arts) A character ( sometimes known as a fictional character ) is a person or other being in a narrative work of art ( such as a novel , play , television series , or film ) . The character may be entirely fictional or based on a real-life person , in which case the distinction of a `` fictional '' versus `` real '' character may be made . Derived from the ancient Greek word χαρακτήρ , the English word dates from the Restoration , although it became widely used after its appearance in Tom Jones in 1749 . From this , the sense of `` a part played by an actor '' developed . Character , particularly when enacted by an actor in the theatre or cinema , involves `` the illusion of being a human person . '' In literature , characters guide readers through their stories , helping them to understand plots and ponder themes . Since the end of the 18th century , the phrase `` in character '' has been used to describe an effective impersonation by an actor . Since the 19th century , the art of creating characters , as practiced by actors or writers , has been called characterisation .   A character who stands as a representative of a particular class or group of people is known as a type . Types include both stock characters and those that are more fully individualised . The characters in Henrik Ibsen 's Hedda Gabler ( 1891 ) and August Strindberg 's Miss Julie ( 1888 ) , for example , are representative of specific positions in the social relations of class and gender , such that the conflicts between the characters reveal ideological conflicts .   The study of a character requires an analysis of its relations with all of the other characters in the work . The individual status of a character is defined through the network of oppositions ( proairetic , pragmatic , linguistic , proxemic ) that it forms with the other characters . The relation between characters and the action of the story shifts historically , often miming shifts in society and its ideas about human individuality , self-determination , and the social order .

neg: Andrea Parkins Andrea Parkins is an American composer , sound artist , performer and improvisational musician based in New York . She is known for her inventive explorations on the electric accordion , generative sound processing , and arrangements of objects and sound . Parkins received a BFA from Tufts University and MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts , Rutgers University .   Parkins 's work is influenced by the compositional strategies of John Cage and Fluxus and pays homage to musique concrète and 1970s analog synth . Parkins often incorporates electronically processed accordion , customized sound processing , live tape manipulation , analog effects boxes , laptop electronics , acoustic piano , sampling , and amplified objects . Her method and sound were characterized by LA Weekly as : `` The big , varied , confidently conceived abstractions Parkins yanks from her squeezebox , laptop , effects devices and maybe piano -- cloudy and cranky one minute , surgically sharp the next . '' With an unconventional approach to instruments , Parkins `` fragments the instrument 's traditional vocabulary and expands its capabilities with electronics and extended techniques . ''   Recently Andrea Parkins has been developing a series of interactive sound and image works inspired by the structures of Rube Goldberg 's circuitous machines . Describing this organizational approach Stephen Bezan remarked : `` the individual sounds manipulated by Parkins seem to interact and influence the outcome of the other , crafting a goal-oriented structure based on timbre , not harmony or rhythm . This approach transcends the inherent cacophony of the material and reveals a genuinely organic , even playful quality to her work . '' Parkins has described her Rube Goldberg approach as a means for examining slippages between object and meaning . She observed : `` An important conceptual thread running through these pieces is the discovery and expression of metaphors for the slippage and tension between object and meaning that occurs through the passage of time . '' Describing her intentions , Parkins noted : `` As both a sonic and visual artist , I try to build and layer idiosyncratic systems and structures that point to these shifts in meaning . ''   Andrea Parkins has toured and exhibited internationally and has been presented at the Whitney Museum of American Art , The Kitchen , Experimental Intermedia , and Diapason Gallery for Sound and Intermedia . She has collaborated with musicians such as Nels Cline , Jim Black , Ellery Eskelin , David Watson , David Fenech , Fred Frith , Thomas Lehn , Günter Müller , and Otomo Yoshihide and choreographers Olive Bieringa and Otto Ramstad from the BodyCartography Project . Parkins has been the recipient of various grants , awards , and residencies including Meet the Composer , New York State Council for the Arts , Harvestworks Media Art Center , in New York City , Frei und Hanseastadt Hamburg Kulturbehoerde , in Germany , and CESTA in the Czech Republic .

neg: Rehearsal A rehearsal is an activity in the performing arts that occurs as preparation for a performance in music , theatre , dance and related arts , such as opera , musical theatre and film production . It is undertaken as a form of practising , to ensure that all details of the subsequent performance are adequately prepared and coordinated . The term `` rehearsal '' typically refers to ensemble activities undertaken by a group of people . For example , when a musician is preparing a piano concerto alone in their music studio , this is called `` practicing '' , but when they begin to practice the concerto with an orchestra , this activity is called a `` rehearsal '' . The music rehearsal takes place in a music rehearsal space .   A rehearsal may involve as few as two people , as with a small play for two actors , an art song performance by a singer and a pianist or a folk music duo of a singer and a guitar player . On the other end of the spectrum , a rehearsal can be held for a very large orchestra with over 100 performers and a choir . A rehearsal can involve only performers of one type , as in an a cappella choir show , in which a group of singers perform without instrumental accompaniment or a play involving only theatre actors ; it can involve performers of different instruments , as with an orchestra , rock band or jazz `` big band '' ; vocal and instrumental performers , as with opera and choral works accompanied by orchestra ; or a mix of actors , vocalists , instrumentalists and dancers , as with musical theatre .   Rehearsals of small groups of performers , such as small rock bands , jazz quartets or organ trios may be held without a leader ; in these cases , the performers themselves jointly determine how to run the rehearsal , which songs to practice , and so on . Some small groups may have their rehearsals led by a bandleader . Almost all mid - to large group performances have a person who leads the rehearsals ; this person may be a bandleader in a rock , country or jazz setting ; a conductor in classical music ( including in opera ) ; a director in theatre or musical theatre ; or a film director for movie rehearsals .   While the term is most commonly used in the performing arts to refer to preparation for a public presentation or show , the term is also used to refer to the preparation for other anticipated activities , such as wedding guests and couples practicing a wedding ceremony , paramedics practicing responding to a simulated emergency , or army troops practicing for an attack using a mock-up of the building they will be assaulting .

neg: Dancing Cigarettes The Cigarettes are a popular post-punk and art band based in Bloomington , Indiana and active from 1979 through 1983 . They were part of a cadre of Bloomington-based bands that made an impact on the underground music scene . Other bands included The Gizmos , Zero Boys , Dow Jones and the Industrials , and MX-80 Sound . These bands established Indiana as an innovative breeding ground for punk , post-punk and new wave music in the late 1970s and early 1980s .   The group changed line-ups frequently , but typically consisted of singer/guitarist Michael Gitlin , bassist Emily Bonus , keyboardists and multi-instrumentalists Tim Noe and Jaclyn Oddi , drummer John Terrill , and saxophonist Don Trubey . More avant-pop than post-punk , their music was as eclectic as their members ' musical talents would lead one to believe , ranging from squonky Beefheart rock to bouncy Devo-esque new wave , as evidenced by the brilliant `` Pop Doormat '' , which opens with a deceptively anthemic synth line , then uses an ebullient bass and keyboard melody to underscore a disconsolate lyrical theme that wraps with the repeated question `` What am I waiting for ? ''   The band performed regularly in numerous venues in Bloomington , including Second Story , Bullwinkle 's , the Bluebird , and The Gentry Remedy . The band also traveled extensively and performed a venues throughout the US , including CBGB in New York , the Music Box in Kansas City , Mister Goodbar in Buffalo , Tewligans in Louisville , Space Place in Chicago , and many others .   The Cigarettes ' musical style is most frequently characterized by the repeated use of hard dissonances ( minor 2nd 's , major 7th 's ) in combination with angular rhythmic patterns . At times , dissonances are densely packed , as in the thick web of atonal clusters supporting the lyrics of `` Broken Windows . '' A more spacious use of dissonance is found in `` Simple Machines , '' clarified by an intriguing orchestration of the band 's various instrumental sounds . `` Puppies in a Sack '' and `` Piano Lesson/Smith Street '' share a similar `` additive process '' technique in the gradual building of their dissonant and polytonal textures . Combined with this predominantly modular organization of material is a powerful sense of linear motion frequently provided by the band 's lyrics . Often the emotive verbal scenarios create tenuous implications of direction which counteract the clouds of tonal density . In `` Puppies in a Sack , '' the relentless repetition of `` It was fun for a while '' evokes a resignation to nostalgia , which is arrested by the plaintive admission , `` But that was a while ago ! ''   The group recorded frequently but released very little material ( one 7 '' EP and a few appearances on compilations ) while they were a performing organization . Two CDs of their material have been released in the years since the band broke up .

neg: You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes You Made It Weird is a semi-weekly comedy interview podcast hosted by comedian Pete Holmes on the Nerdist network since October 25 , 2011 . The show originated under the premise that Holmes would ask his guest , usually a fellow comedian , about three `` weird '' things he knew about them , but the show has since evolved into a much more loose conversation about such complex topics as comedy , religion , and sexuality .   While initially focusing on interviews with comedians , an increasing number of guests from other fields have appeared on the show , including musicians , pastors , scientists , and authors . Many guests comment on Holmes ' unique laugh , which tends to be very loud and borderline obnoxious . Katie Levine is the producer of the podcast .   The show is usually recorded in-studio at the Nerdist studio at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles , California . Since March 21 , 2012 , Holmes has recorded multiple live episodes of the podcast , in Austin at South by Southwest , New York , Bloomington , Chicago , Montreal , Quebec , San Francisco , Los Angeles at the LA Riot Festival , and Toronto at Just For Laughs . These have featured several guests rather than the usual one , and focus more on comedy rather than the in-depth discussion of a regular episode .

neg: Meat Puppets (album) Meat Puppets is the first album by American band the Meat Puppets , released in 1982 . The album is unlike their later , better-known releases due to its hardcore punk sound .   The album was recorded in a matter of days , there are very few overdubs and many of the tracks are first takes . Like other early SST albums the sound quality is rather spotty ; there is noticeable fuzz in the background of the music . The band opted for this because they felt more comfortable recording live with only a few microphones rather than employing conventional studio separation techniques . In 1999 , Curt Kirkwood stated , `` The first -LSB- album -RSB- was our LSD record . We were three days in the studio , and we tripped the whole time . And it was really cool , and really trying , too , because we went insane . ''   The 1999 Rykodisc reissue features the entire In a Car EP as well as 13 other bonus tracks , many of them studio jams or outtakes , and a video clip of the band performing `` Walking Boss '' live . The booklet also has liner notes by Gregg Turkington and recording notes by drummer Derrick Bostrom .   In the 2012 book , Too High to Die : Meet the Meat Puppets by Greg Prato , an entire chapter is dedicated to Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil explaining why Meat Puppets is one of his favorite all-time albums .

neg: Sketch Show (band) Sketch Show is a Japanese duo formed in 2002 by two of the three former members of Yellow Magic Orchestra , Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi . In some live shows , Ryuichi Sakamoto has joined in band performances .   `` Similar to Yellow Magic Orchestra , Sketch Show 's sound relies heavily on cutting-edge technology ( synthesizers the first time , computers this time ) , but what sets the duo apart from thousands of other knob-twiddlers is the sense of songcraft and pop sensibility that they have consistently displayed over their careers . Both men sing and play traditional instruments -LSB- ... -RSB- . While not genre-specific , Sketch Show 's music is loosely categorized as electronica . The band released its debut album , Audio Sponge , in 2002 , shortly after a well-received appearance at Takkyu Ishino 's massive rave event , WIRE02 . In addition to Hosono and Takahashi , the record featured collaborations with former YMO member Ryuichi Sakamoto and Towa Tei . Shows following the release of the record were instant sellouts . -LSB- ... -RSB- In February 2003 , the band released the mini-album Tronika , which featured remixes by Cornelius . Early that summer , they played a show-stealing slot at SONAR 2003 in Barcelona , and CYBERSONICA 03 in London . These shows were the first European appearances for Hosono and Takahashi in two decades . September 2003 saw the release of a live DVD , Wild Sketch Show Live 2002 , featuring footage culled from a string of December 2002 performances at the legendary Shibuya-AX , and including a medley of YMO classics along with their new material . Toward the end of 2003 , the band released their second album , LOOPHOLE . The album again featured collaborations with Sakamoto , and remixes by Cornelius and Safety Scissors . ''   In 2004 , Sketch Show performed live shows with Sakamoto under the name `` Human Audio Sponge '' , or `` HAS '' . Since 2005 , Sketch Show has wound down , and in 2007 , Hosono , Sakamoto and Takahshi released the single `` Rescue / Rydeen 79/07 '' under the name `` HASYMO '' , which was made in the style of Sketch Show 's music , with heavier incorporation of live instruments . Since 2008 , the combination of Hosono , Sakamoto and Takahashi has performed together as `` Yellow Magic Orchestra '' , continuing with what was developed as Sketch Show/Human Audio Sponge/HASYMO .

neg: Characteristics of progressive rock Progressive rock is a term that refers to a musical style . The term was originally referred to as `` classical rock '' ( in which a band performed together with an orchestra ) , but the term 's use has expanded in recent years to include other fusions of music styles including jazz fusion , metal and folk rock musics . The term does not refer to one particular music style but to an approach that combines elements of diverse styles . Jerry Ewing , editor of Prog Magazine , explains that `` Prog is not just a sound , it 's a mindset . '' Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci outlines that Progressive rock is defined by its very lack of stylistic boundaries . The advent of the concept album , plus the genre 's roots in psychedelia , led albums and performances to be viewed as combined presentations of music , lyrics , and visuals .   Bands abandoned the short pop single in favor of instrumentation and compositional techniques more frequently associated with jazz or classical music as part of an effort to give rock music the same level of musical sophistication and critical respect . Progressive rock abandons the danceable beat that defines earlier rock styles and is more likely than other types of popular music to experiment with compositional structure , instrumentation , harmony and rhythm , or lyrical content . It may demand more effort on the part of the listener than other types of music .   Musicians in progressive rock typically display a high degree of instrumental skill , although this is not always the case . Virtuoso instrumental skills are so closely associated with progressive rock that authors such as Bill Martin consider it as a defining element and exclude bands such as Pink Floyd from consideration . It is not uncommon for musicians to have received a higher-than-average level of formal training . Players from the genre frequently appear in readers ' polls of publications that cater to musicians .

neg: Improvisational theatre Improvisational theatre , often called improv or impro , is the form of theatre , often comedy , in which most or all of what is performed is unplanned or unscripted : created spontaneously by the performers . In its purest form , the dialogue , action , story , and characters are created collaboratively by the players as the improvisation unfolds in present time , without use of an already prepared , written script .   Improvisational theatre exists in performance as a range of styles of improvisational comedy as well as some non-comedic theatrical performances . It is sometimes used in film and television , both to develop characters and scripts and occasionally as part of the final product .   Improvisational techniques are often used extensively in drama programs to train actors for stage , film , and television and can be an important part of the rehearsal process . However , the skills and processes of improvisation are also used outside of the context of performing arts . It is used in classrooms as an educational tool and in businesses as a way to develop communication skills , creative problem solving , and supportive team-work abilities that are used by improvisational , ensemble players . It is sometimes used in psychotherapy as a tool to gain insight into a person 's thoughts , feelings , and relationships .

neg: Improvisation Improvisation is the term for the action of improvising .

The skills of improvisation can apply to many different faculties , across all artistic , scientific , physical , cognitive , academic , and non-academic disciplines .   Musical improvisation is usually defined as the composition ( and simultaneous playing ) of music , without prior preparation . Improvisational comedy is a theatre art performed throughout the world and has had on-again , off-again status throughout history . Dance improvisation is frequently used as a choreographic tool . Choreography is also frequently used as a tool for improvisation .   Improvisation also exists outside the arts . Improvisation in engineering is to solve a problem with the tools and materials immediately at hand . Improvised weapons are often used by guerrillas , insurgents and criminals .

neg: Whole World Theatre The Whole World Theatre is an improvisational theatre located in Atlanta , Georgia .   Whole World Theatre ( WWT ) is a non-profit theatre company that began in Atlanta , Georgia in late 1993 , when David Webster began teaching a group of student actors whom he would train to become the hottest improv company in town . Jennifer Horne and David Webster were co-founding members .   The original students of Whole World Theatre performed their first show in front of 25 people in September 1994 .

neg: Josephine Forsberg Josephine Forsberg ( 28 January 1921 -- 3 October 2011 ) , ex-wife of film director Rolf Forsberg , was hired by Paul Sills and Viola Spolin to join the original Second City in 1959 as the female understudy and Spolin 's teaching assistant . She became an expert in improvisational techniques for the theater , and by the mid 1960s she had taken over most of Spolin 's and Sills 's classes , as well as Spolin 's children 's theater company . From that point on most of the young performers that wanted to go onto the Second City stage studied with Forsberg for at least a year . These included Bill Murray , Harold Ramis , Betty Thomas , Shelley Long , George Wendt , David Mamet , and Robert Townsend .   In 1971 , Forsberg opened up an official school of improvisation called Players Workshop , hiring her nephew Martin de Maat and her daughter Linnea Forsberg to teach alongside her . In terms of accepting students who were not necessarily Second City actors learning the art of improvisation , but also including students from all walks of life and professional disciplines Players Workshop can arguably be called the first real school of Improvisation , with a class structure , syllabus , and graduation requirement , pre-dating loosely organized workshops created in the mid-1970s by Dudley Riggs ( Minneapolis , MN USA ) and Keith Johnstone ( Calgary , AB , Canada ) . It soon grew to the largest school of improv in the country , training people for the Second City stage through a six term ( 12 month ) course . In 1980 , her son Eric Forsberg joined Players Workshop as a director , where he worked with David Shepard to develop a competitive improv game which was later called The Improv Olympiad . One of Forsberg 's students , Charna Halpern , joined forces with David Shepard and helped to bring the Improv Olympiad to become one of Chicago 's foremost arena 's for new improvisers . In the late 1980s Charna Halpern and Del Close transformed the Improv Olympiad into the IO , using Del 's new improv format called The Harold , otherwise known as long form .   Forsberg retired from teaching in 1993 , leaving Players Workshop to her daughter . Her nephew , Martin de Maat had become the creative director of the Second City Training Center which was growing in leaps and bounds , offering a tremendous competition to Players Workshop . In 2003 Players Workshop closed its doors . However , in 2007 , she was approached by her old friend and student Bill Murray to help teach the New York Giants improv , in the hopes of giving them an edge . At 86 years old she did just that . It was the first time that she had taught anyone in years . That year they won the Super Bowl . She returned to teach the New York Giants again in 2008 .   Forsberg , along with her daughter Linnea , wrote `` Improvisation for Speech and Theater . '' It was published by Kendall Hunt Publishing in 2010 .   Forsberg died on October 3 , 2011 .

neg: Prop comedy Prop comedy is a comedy genre in which performers use humorous objects , or conventional objects in humorous ways . The stages and films term `` prop '' , an abbreviation of `` property '' , refers to any object an actor handles in the course of a performance . Though some form of prop comedy has likely existed as long as there have been comedians , the genre reached its zenith in the vaudeville era . The vaudeville team Olsen and Johnson used prop comedy extensively in their long running Broadway revue Hellzapoppin .   A prop comic is a comedian who uses prop comedy . Prop comics are sometimes looked down upon by other comedians , and the term is sometimes used derisively . However , some , such as Tommy Cooper , rose to critical acclaim as their props revolved around a gimmick ( such as Cooper 's magic ) and the comedian 's character around that gimmick .

neg: Guckenheimer Sour Kraut Band The Guckenheimer Sour Kraut Band was a humorous musical group of amateur musicians living in the San Francisco , California , area who played a repertoire of polkas and light classical music while adopting a persona of mild confusion and wearing self-created uniforms once described as rejects from the Franco-Prussian War . The group originally formed one Christmas season in 1949 to play carols in Sausalito , California , and someone brought a book of polka music , possibly one of the `` Hungry Five '' books by Harry L. Alford whose music became a basic part of the Guckenheimer repertoire . The group became increasingly popular in northern California , often invited to play at wine festivals and openings and in later years for such august occasions as opening night of the San Francisco Symphony .   Although all were business professionals , the group joined Local 6 of the American Federation of Musicians and became `` professional musicians '' when they were invited by San Francisco Records to make its first record album , `` Oom-Pah-Pah In Hi-Fi '' -- described on its front cover as `` The sourest German village band music ever ! '' Although the group played for laughs , all its members were quite adequate musicians , some of them very good . The occasional native German-born listener would often remark on the Guckenheimers ' similarity to actual village bands back in the old country . The village band sound was authentic enough RCA Victor signed the group to record a second album , `` Sour Kraut In Hi Fi '' ( LPM-1453 )   The name of the group was taken from an obscure brand of whiskey and adopted by the group 's leader , Richard B. Gump , who took on the persona of Herr Doktor Fritz Guckenheimer , Kapellmeister . All of the other band members adopted names that were some variant of Schmidt .  Gump was a San Francisco art dealer and owner of Gump 's store in downtown San Francisco , which was also the recording location of their best known record album for RCA Victor Records `` Music For Non-Thinkers '' ( LSP/LPM 1721 ) , which was recorded on Sunday , December 29 , 1957 , in stereo . It was released in 1958 . It was re-released on an unknown date , and kept the original stereo catalog number , but adopted a new per-side catalog number as well , J2PY-2451 / J2PY-2452 .

neg: Vinyl Tap Vinyl Tap is a Canadian radio show hosted by Randy Bachman , musician alumnus of the famous Canadian rock band The Guess Who and Bachman -- Turner Overdrive . Each episode of the show first airs on CBC Radio One Saturday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. , and is then repeated on CBC Radio 2 Sunday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. and again on Radio One Fridays from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.   In the two-hour program , Randy Bachman plays predominantly classic rock , pop and older jazz music and tells stories behind the selections , adding from time to time short musical demonstrations played live , besides frequent personal anecdotes . Musical selections are commonly organized around a theme , sometimes of Bachman 's own choosing and sometimes in response to a request submitted by a listener . The program 's format somewhat resembles Finkleman 's 45s , the program it replaced on the CBC Radio schedule , although Bachman presents a very different range of musical selections than Danny Finkleman did . Some of Bachman 's musical stories from the program were published in book form in the fall of 2011 .   Until 2011 , when they separated , Bachman 's wife Denise McCann Bachman also participated in the show , reading listener mail ( typically 40 minutes into the first hour ) , doing fact research and commenting . His son Tal Bachman took over the research for the show , but does not contribute as an on-air personality .   In 2010 , Bachman hosted an episode of the show live from the Glenn Gould Studio at the CBC Broadcast Centre in Toronto . Titled `` Guitarology 101 '' , the episode featured Bachman , McCann , Mick Dalla-Vee and Brent Knudsen talking about various aspects of guitars , including live performances of a number of classic rock and rhythm and blues songs .   CBC Vancouver senior radio producer Tod Elvidge engineers , edits and compiles each show for broadcast .
