On May 21, 2019, the Toronto music community lost a huge piece of its music broadcasting heart with the passing of\u00a0brilliant radio host,\u00a0indie music super supporter, encyclopaedic\u00a0music lover, avid\u00a0sports fan, moral compass, beloved son, brother and friend,\u00a0Dave Bookman.

In an ongoing effort to honour David and his deep love of music, his personal record collection has been donated to\u00a0Rotate This<\/a>\u00a0(186 Ossington Avenue) in Toronto.\u00a0On\u00a0Thursday November 21, 2019, it will be available for sale, with proceeds going directly to\u00a0MusiCounts<\/a>. Over\u00a0600 of Bookie’s personal\u00a0records, a mix of 7″ and full LP’s\u00a0will be\u00a0identified by a\u00a0specially designed sticker. Rotate This will be open\u00a011:00 am – 8:00pm.

In May, Bookie’s broadcasting home base INDIE88 suspended regular programming, to honour David, and celebrate some of the finest musical moments and interviews of his career, while raising funds in honour of\u00a0the MusiCounts\u00a0Band Aid program.\u00a0The\u00a0initial\u00a0goal was to reach $10k in listeners donations, but the station quickly surpassed\u00a0$75k for MusiCounts, in\u00a0Bookie’s name.
\u00a0
Dave first started listening to the music and became drawn to the\u00a0artists he heard through the walls of his home in Ottawa, played by his two older brothers. He eventually\u00a0ventured into their rooms and uncovered\u00a0their\u00a0vinyl collections and\u00a0the songs and sounds connected with him. It was where music first became a part of the fabric of his life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dave took instantly to The Beach Boys,”<\/em> remembers his brother Steve. “He was fascinated by their harmonies and their ability to write songs that appealed directly to what teenagers were doing at the time.\u00a0He also took an instant liking to Dylan, he loved the messages being delivered by someone so young, Dylan was only 22 when he wrote “Blowin’\u00a0in the Wind.”<\/em>

“Those were his two outside walls in music, ‘fun in the sun’\u00a0and ‘songs of protest’.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bookie loved his vinyl record collection. The songs, the artists, the history of music meant so much to him. It is only fitting that these records continue to inspire and connect with others while also contributing to the fine work MusiCounts does within the schools and communities to keep music in all our lives and inspire new generations of music lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
