First time I have heard of Song-Along; what a fantastic concept. Someone noticed that perfect apple on the tree in the orchard and picked it. Well done !!!!!!!

Congrats on the Talent Show last Sunday Chris. I had been planning on being there to meet everyone, but the roads on the Quebec side did not look friendly when it was time to go. Happy to hear it was a full house !!

I am enjoying the incredible voices and music this morning. It was interesting to hear the list of top four Canadian folk musician from Lynn Miles. However I think there should be five. So please add Lynn Miles to the list of Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot and Leonard Cohen!

I enjoyed the whole show, until the end. Then that Horrible station break with the screaming blues voice came on. CKCU REALLY has to loose that one please!
