Hey everybody!

It's the Fall for reals now. Leaves, dropping temperatures, air we can breathe again...hip hip hurray!

What better way to celebrate being Canadian in this most glorious time of year than to listen to great music while sipping hot apple cider. Or maybe dancing a bit to keep the chill off!

Hey everybody

Another week, more summer/fall. This is a weird one this year.

My Secret ... Cities and Dust *
We Found Each other ... City and Colour * (it's all about the city)

Fishage .... Beaters (out of San Diego)
Post ... Hanging from the Rafters

Never a dull moment.

Thanks for listening
