He’s got a lot of hits and he played many of them this past weekend in Saskatoon. But what other song could I post today than the Garth Brooks song that made me a huge fan for life? “Friends in Low Places” – Garth Brooks
In 1990, just before they got massive, The Tragically Hip played a small club in Regina called “The Venue”. Someone put a video camera on one of the balconies in the club and has now posted some of this historically valuable footage.

So I thought I would post a recent clip from the season one winner, Kelly Clarkson, who gives an amazing performance of a very personal song she wrote that contrasts her absentee father against the father of her current […]
