Bill Usher recalls radio production from tour with Bruce Cockburn
Mar 24, 2016 – Long before he arrived in Golden, Colorado and began to have an impact on what is now a bustling arts and culture scene, Bill Usher was a radio documentary producer and musician, with one of his proudest works coming in the form of a two-hour documentary titled On Tour with Bruce Cockburn.
Usher had worked with the Canadian folk icon on his 1976 release In the Falling Dark and toured across Canada with him on the subsequent tour. The idea to document the cross country tour with Cockburn seemed like a winner, and Usher took his idea to CBC, having produced documentaries for them previously.
“As soon as I knew that I had the gig…I basically went into one of the producers (at CBC) and said ‘I’m going out on the road with Cockburn for 12 weeks. I have this idea that I could do an on the road back stage documentary, are you interested?’,” he remembered.
The producer was interested, and Usher proceeded to round up all of the five inch reels of tape that he could before hitting the road for the tour.
Film and radio was a different animal back then. The days of digital recording were but a pipe dream, making production a lengthy, time-intensive process compared to contemporary standards.

Over the years Bruce has owned many guitars. In the last several years he has used these shown in the banner image above. [Photo courtesy of Kim Adams – Seattle Daily Photo – April 30, 2010]
Left to right:
- Baritone guitar by Tony Karol, acquired during the recording of Life Short Call Now
- 12-string by Linda Manzer, made for another of her customers, which found its way to me.
- Original 6-string made for me by Linda Manzer in ’88 (?).
- Manzer 6-string made for someone not long afterward, which came to me a few years ago.
- Dobro I picked up new in the late 80s.
- Charango made for me by Linda Manzer. This was the first acoustic instrument Linda made for me.
All the Manzers are roughly the same age.

Bruce Cockburn – “I love them. I would not part with them. They are beautiful to look at and beautiful to hear.”
