I wish Murray McLauchlan would publish the sheet music for "Let the Good Guys Win" his new-year song! It was a video with Tom Cochrane. After the concert in Ottawa a couple of years ago, Murray told me that the song wasn't written down. That doesn't have to be an obstacle. There are software packages that can create the sheet music. We need that upbeat song more than ever.

Thanks for playing David Keeble. I have the first Christmas Goose album, and think his lyrics for Angels in the snow are the best-ever for a seasonal song. .

Hey Mary-Sue -- I agree that Angels in the Snow is an awesone song. I was happy to hear from David that he's thinking of re-recording it.

I mentioned that it had been about 20 years since the last time I spoke at length with Murray. I looked it up and he was a guest on my CKUT show in Montreal on May 27, 2004 -- so it was actually only 16+ years ago.
