Almost single-handedly introduced Southern Ontario to Alternative Rock. An absolute legend. #LongLiveTheMarsBar #TheSpiritOfRadio
"A Thrill's A Thrill", "Television", "Pink Moon".... so many songs make me think of Marsden. I'm on an adventure to create a mixtape for him, for CFNY, nythespirit.com and more.
What songs make you think of him?
I'll try to include in the mix.

Today we learned David Marsden has left us and "put on his wings". I have listened to Marsden from when I first discovered FM radio up until recently on nythespirit.com. Our radio friend, companion and musical educator. #DavidMarsden #TheSpiritOfRadio.

As of this morning, 102.1 the Edge has rebranded to "Iconic Alternative." Because apparently, nothing says "alternative" like a predictable loop of 30-year-old grunge. At least they’re finally admitting they’ve stopped looking for what’s next. #CFNY #TheSpiritOfRadio

One Sunday morning, on CFNY 102.1, Live Earl Jive and The Lovely and Talented Beverly Hills, played Levon at least 5 times in a row. Because they liked it. We play it all the time. We named our dog Levon

We watched this documentary that just dropped from TVO about #CFNY radio and it brought back so many memories. That radio station, its DJs and their exploration of #punk and #NewWave in the #80s, before anyone else in Toronto, influenced so much in my life. #TheSpiritOfRadio

Don’t worry, I still rock out to Rush. But sometimes I’ll drop the kid off and this banger by Charlie Hope will still be playing. #TheSpiritOfRadio #OverInTheMeadow #Parenting

What was the first Rush song you ever heard. This was mine and it blew my mind! Time signature changes, radio-friendly folk-rock, reggae breaks, Hendrix solo and a Paul Simon misquote. What more could you want?! #Rush #TheSpiritofRadio #ClassicRock
