Episode #947

This year’s entry in the annual Desmond Howl Canada Day Spectacular takes us on a coast-to-coast-to-coast tour of this great nation, from St. John’s, NFL, to Iqaluit, Nunavut, to Victoria, BC, and home again! We’ll travel this great nation hearing songs about some of our favourite stops along the way. I know there’s a lot of messed up stuff politically and socially that’s gone on and continues to, but there’s no denying that we have the best music in the world, so while we figure the rest of that mess out, let’s enjoy some great music and come together!

How about that heat, huh? We got hit with a heck of a heatwave this weekend, and it was hard to think of anything else, so we’ve got a pile of “hot” songs today, as well as a bunch for those who were supposed to run the Manitoba Marathon today before the heat spoiled the party!
