It’s been an interesting weekend, and we’re in the mood for something positive. Irene’s hitting our friends in the East pretty hard, so a few songs to keep them strong and hopeful. And, this weekend was the funeral for NDP leader Jack Layton, and although funerals aren’t generally all that uplifting or inspiring, his certainly was, so we’ll carry on his message of hope and love with some great music. And, to end it all off, something we all appreciate, Fish & Bird, one of this country’s great up-coming bands, stops by to play live.
