Last weeks Fred. Pub Choir has 10000+ hits ... imagine that ...

Our Christmas edition on Dec 11 is to be on CBC Radio and TV. Last year we raised something in the range of $80K for the foodbank ... imagine such a group! Some say the abstract is dark and just isn't ... leaving us something else!

I had forgotten about that pub choir. Either you or Seeler posted about it years ago 10000+ views is pretty good for a local group.
 
I'm looking forward to watching the concert celebrating k.d. lang that was held at the National Arts Centre on Oct 2.
It is supposed to be broadcast on CBC Gem sometime this month.
 
Sadly, probably will have Sass Jordan on later today. The 63-year-old powerhouse blues-rock vocalist passed away the other day. I have known her basically since the start of her career, first from her work as a session singer with Quebecois band The Box and then her incredible solo albums. 1 Juno (Most Promising New Artist) and 3 other nominations (all for Best Female Vocals). She was actually born in the UK to French and English parents but they immigrated to Canada when Sass was 3 and she grew up in Montreal. No surprise with its diverse and vibrant music scene that she found her way into music.



 
One thing I learned about Sass today that I had not heard before: The late drummer Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters began his career as her drummer on a tour back in the 90s and they were good friends. Here, from 2015, is Sass appearing on stage in Toronto with Foo Fighters, introduced by Taylor.


Cute note: This is the tour where vocalist-guitarist Dave Grohl was touring with a broken leg. Notice he's playing seated and you can see his walking cast.
