Wah was born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan in 1939 and grew up in the West Kootenay region. His Chinese and Scots-Irish ethnic background and identity have a significant influence on his literary work. Wah completed an undergraduate degree in Literature and Music at the University of British Columbia, where he became a founding editor of the TISH newsletter in 1961, and has taught at Selkirk College, the David Thompson University Centre, and the University of Calgary. The fonds contains a number of interviews, conversations, lectures, and public readings recorded between the years 1976 and 2006, featuring local and national literary and media figures such as Lorna Crozier, bpNichol, Daphne Marlatt, and Stuart McLean."],"collection_source_collection_id":["MsC 17"],"persistent_url":[""],"item_title":["CBC Radio Program: bp Nichol on morningside in Toronto on October 13, 1983"],"item_title_source":["J-card and Recording"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Broadcast"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["Copyright Not Evaluated (CNE)"],"creator_names":["Wah, Fred","The Four Horsemen","Nichol, bp (Barrie Phillip)","Astaire, Fred"],"creator_names_search":["Wah, Fred","The Four Horsemen","Nichol, bp (Barrie Phillip)","Astaire, Fred"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/1330211\",\"name\":\"Wah, Fred\",\"dates\":\"1939-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Donor\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/128949455\",\"name\":\"The Four Horsemen\",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"There is a piece of performance from \\\"The Four Horsemen\\\" on the first side played as part of this radio program\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/76350280\",\"name\":\"Nichol, bp (Barrie Phillip)\",\"dates\":\"1944-1988\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Author\",\"Reader\",\"Speaker\",\"Performer\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/9888263\",\"name\":\"Astaire, Fred\",\"dates\":\"1899-1987\",\"notes\":\"A song from him named \\\"Top Hat, White Tie and Tails\\\" is played for bpNichol at CBC radio program on the first side.\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Performer\"]}]"],"contributors":["[]"],"Production_Date":[1983],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"\",\"image\":\"Uploads/6940/Fred Wah Fonds_MsC 17f_27.jpg\",\"other\":\"\",\"extent\":\"1/8 inch\",\"AV_types\":\"Audio\",\"tape_brand\":\"\",\"generations\":\"\",\"Conservation\":\"\",\"equalization\":\"\",\"playback_mode\":\"\",\"playing_speed\":\"\",\"sound_quality\":\"Excellent\",\"recording_type\":\"Analogue\",\"storage_capacity\":\"\",\"physical_condition\":\"Good\",\"track_configuration\":\"\",\"material_designation\":\"Cassette\",\"physical_composition\":\"Magnetic Tape\",\"accompanying_material\":\"J-card\",\"other_physical_description\":\"Black and white clear jewel case with J-card\"}]"],"material_designations":["Cassette"],"physical_compositions":["Magnetic Tape"],"recording_type":["Analogue"],"AV_type":["Audio"],"digital_description":["[{\"file_url\":\"\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"Wah2021-027-Side B.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00:34:41\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"36.6 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"It's blank.\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"},{\"file_url\":\"\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"Wah2021-027-Side A.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00:34:53\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"37 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"Sound Recording\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"}]"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"1983-10-13\",\"type\":\"Production Date\",\"notes\":\"bpNichol on the morning side of CBC radio program\",\"source\":\"J-card\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/456341915#map=19/43.65360/-79.37320\",\"venue\":\"CBC Studio\",\"notes\":\"CBC Toronto studio address was changed in 1993 (after this recording took place) to 205 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 3G7 from a smaller facility on Jarvis Street, near the former television transmitter.
