Music Monday – "Now the lounge is full of farmers for the 7:30 draw/Teammates all left before they had to buy a round/When they pull the 50/50 and I've lost again, I'll go"

Music Monday – "Either side of Saskatoon/That is the longest leg/813 miles, she's my prairie girl/And the longest stretch of road in the world" (May 11, 2009)

This song was going through my head while driving up to Saskatoon for the SLA conference last weekend…

Music Monday – "Here, Is Where I Feel It" (Ryan Meili Tribute Video)

This is a video montage I made about the Ryan Meili campaign, set to “Canadian Skye” by Spirit of the West…

Music Monday – "When the moon hits your eye/Like a big pizza pie" (April 20, 2009)

Music Monday – "I was sitting there watching TV/Wendy came and sat on my knee."

In honour of the last episode of “Corner Gas” tonight, here's one of my favourite songs by the Odds, the former band of Craig Northey who wrote the “Corner Gas” theme song, “Not A Lot Going On”. (Unfortunately, the clip is from MuchMoreMusic who have more crap around the edge of the screen than the […]

Music Monday – "Snow's so merciless/Poor old Montreal/In spite of everything that's happened/In spite of it all"

Time to break out the long-neglected “CLA Conference” tag.  Just got word today that I was approved to go to this year's CLA conference in Montreal at the end of May!  I'm especially happy about this because I'd had a feeler extended to see if I'd be coming to the conference and available to sit […]

Music Monday – "Sitting alone/With the TV on/I fell asleep/I was hoping you'd call"

Music Monday – "Every word, every little look, every little sign, every little phrase"

I wanted to keep the political theme of my last couple posts going so went a' searching for a relevant song I had in mind (in title if not in actual sentiment).  This live gem popped up hitting on a number of notes – it's from a concert in li'l London, it's from the first […]

Music Monday – "Fill my heart with song/Let me sing for ever more/You are all I long for/All I worship and adore" March 16, 2009

The week before we left for Vegas I posted Elvis as my Music Monday clip.  So now that we're back, I thought I'd close with another Vegas icon…  (and speaking of The King, a note to self: do not include the joking phrase “Going to Las Vegas for an Elvis Convention” in your e-mail auto-reply […]

Music Monday – "How I wish that there were more/Than twenty-four hours in the day/Cause even if there were forty more/I wouldn't sleep a minute anyway" – March 2, 2009

So, on somewhat short notice, Shea and I have decided to head for Sin City (except that we'll have Pace in tow so “sin” will be restricted to too much sugar and staying up later than 8pm.)  How this came about is that my parents called last weekend that they'd won a free flight to […]
