Skydiggers Employee of the Myth "Josh Finlayson, Part 2: Collaborator / Consigliere" - Episode 16
Whether it's creating Skydiggers classics with his long-time musical compadre Andy Maize, co-writing songs with heavy hitters in Nashville, or composing music for television, Josh Finlayson places a high value on being a collaborator. In Josh's words, "...no one has the best ideas always. Anyone can have the best idea at any given moment, and to recognize [that] is what being a good collaborator is all about..."
Aside from his 30+ years creating with Andy and Skydiggers, one of Josh’s most significant collaborations to date was with his good friend, the late Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip. Josh co-produced and performed on Gord’s first solo album, Coke Machine Glow, and remained a bandm...

    Good king Wenceslas was known for his genuine kindness as a good shepherd for the people. Wenceslaus was born in the Imperial city of Nuremberg, the son of Emperor Charles IV by his third wife Anna von Schweidnitz, a scion of the Silesian Piasts, and baptized at St. Sebaldus Church.

      It is a true story of Saint Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia (c. 907-935 AD). This is the region around Prague in the Czech Republic. Stories of his giving alms to the poor have been told since this time. But it would take many more centuries before these were put into a Christmas carol.

    I used to hang around with the Skydiggers back in the '90s whenever they were in Halifax, and I once brought my Gretsch Country Gentleman guitar to one of their gigs ( I think it was on the Dalhousie campus ) so Josh could see and try it out. This would have been around the time when "Just Over This Mountain" was their new album. Josh is still one of my favourite guitarists, and I was very flattered that he played my guitar a bit. He told me: "you obviously take good care of it." I asked Josh once why he didn't use his Gretsch onstage, and he explained that he preferred not to travel with it. When I lived in Toronto for a year or so, I sometimes saw Andy, Wayne or Ron on the street, and they would always stop and chat for a few minutes. They were all a great bunch of guys, and I very fondly remember those times. I'm still a fan.
