Music Monday – “Who said that every wish/Would be heard and answered/When wished on the morning star”

RIP Bob McGrath. A huge part of many kids’ childhoods and a deep, impactful connection to Saskatchewan as well. (I never met the man but of all the celebrities I’ve tried to add on Facebook – some successfully, some not – his acceptance was probably the one that made me the happiest!) “Rainbow Connection” – […]

Music Monday – In Which Jason Programs The Grey Cup Halftime Show…

Nothing against Florida-Georgia Line but it’s right there in the name – no connection to Canada, let alone Saskatchewan. In fact, two of the three performers in the halftime show were American and the third was from Ontario. Why you wouldn’t feature Saskatchewan artists on a giant stage like this boggles my mind. Using a […]

Music Monday – “We didn’t come here on the Mayflower/We came on a ship in a blood red moon/We come in the age’s most uncertain hour/And sing an American tune”

I recently replied to a question on Twitter asking “Who is the most poetic lyricist in music?” by saying I wasn’t sure but Paul Simon is the only one I studied in high school poetry class so… On that note, this is a powerful new take on one of his classics, where he doesn’t sing […]

Music Monday – “I’m sentimental, if you know what I mean/I love the country but I can’t stand the scene/And I’m neither left or right/I’m just staying home tonight/Getting lost in that hopeless little screen”

Music Monday – Dogs, Dead Icons, & Halloween Classics

Delayed posting Music Monday until Tuesday due to something fairly significant I might write more about later but that has infuriated me. Anyhow, lots of possible themes for a Music Monday post so let’s hit them all… Got A New Dog… Jerry Lee Lewis dies (obligatory “He was problematic to say the least and yes, […]
