Music Monday – “It’s a working man I am/And I’ve been down under ground/And I swear to God if l ever see the sun Or for any length of time I can hold it in my mind/I never again will go down under ground”

Decided to go to Regina’s “Day of Mourning” event at City Hall this year. Twenty-seven people died workplace-related deaths last year and this was the first year I knew one of them which makes the whole thing a lot more real.

Music Monday – “My old south London home.”

It’s been a quiet couple weeks with us on holidays and then me busy with a conference for most of last week but time to get back to blogging.  And I’ve got a perfect video for Music Monday falling on St. Patrick’s Day – a montage of pics I made against two Celtic-Canadian songs from […]
