I thought I had been supporting Canadian music for a long time and then I talked with Jim Norris of Norris-Whitney Communications. He’s been publishing Canadian Musician for almost 30 years! His company has also just released the ninth edition of Music Directory Canada. I chatted with him about the Canadian music and the music and publishing industry on this show. Then I played lots of great music that can be heard live in town including exclusive tunes from Corwin Fox and Athena Holmes. Check out Live Victoria to get the exact dates for each gig.

I’ve read one dissecting Neil Young’s Harvest and a novella based around The Bands’ Big Pink but there are over 50 of them and The Blankket covered a Celine Dion song for one of them!
