What would you take to a deserted island?
Friday, June 12th, 2009Thanks to everyone for replying to my post on Canadian music. The winners of Royal Wood's latest CD, Lost and Found, are: Denise Nielsen and Deann. (Please email me your mailing addresses and I will get the CDs out to you.)
Speaking of great Canuck tunes, my neighbours went to see a wonderful live show this week: The Canadian Songbook: A Tribute to Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall. A diverse group of Canadian musicians (Holly Cole, Stephen Page, the Cowboy Junkies, etc.) recreated Neil Young's 1971 concert at the same venue.
I tried to get tickets but it sold out quickly. That's why I was so pleased to learn that the tribute concert will air on CBC Radio 2 on June 29 and July 6 (two parts) at 7 p.m., and on CBC Radio One on July 3at 2 p.m. I am definately going to tune in.
I love CBC Radio. Confession time: when I went back to work from both of my mat leaves, I'm not sure who or what I missed more, my babes or listening to CBC Radio all day long.
If I had to take only a few things to a deserted island ... one of them would be a radio. Oh, and I would demand said island had the frequency to listen to CBC Radio One and Two.
What would you want with you on a deserted island?
Talk to you soon, Kd
