Not exactly what am I listening to, but fits in nicely I hope . I’m running out of storage space for my music collection & picked up some extra stage space today from Ikea , perfect for the ever expanding collection . So now I’ve moved some into the summerhouse music room , What’s on show is about a 8th of my collection . I know I should sell some but I just can’t let them go .
Not exactly the piece of music itself, but after watching a recent documentary on Gordon Lightfoot, I’m obsessed. Often considered Canada’s second national anthem, Lightfoot's brilliant Canadian Railroad Trilogy was written for Canada’s centennial in 1967. Those who gave it that second anthem title completely missed Lightfoot’s real message. Yes, we’re the polite country and I’m glad to be Canadian. But holy shit, we’ve been guilty of some terrible, terrible crimes. And we’re just digging into it now, finally. Literally.
