Nothing too meaty today.
Do you remember, as a kid, waiting for Christmas morning…or your birthday? Yeah, you do. You’re not that old and cranky. Cranky maybe…but not old. Sam, at age 9, has near been beside himself waiting to hear our bit for Carter’s Beach in this weeks’ CBC Radio 2 Great Canadian Song Quest Podcast #GCSQ (<—that’s a hash tag, yes, that little thing).
I’m too cheap to purchase a “space upgrade” and directly upload the mp3 file to this blog. Best I can do (and afford) is to link you through to the CBC’s Podcast page. Click here to listen to this week’s podcast. Sam is remarkably sweet and handsome eh? We should have our own CBC Radio 2 show. You know, I’ve got 4 boys who are all groomed and ready for national radio. Me? I’ve been ready forever.
I really appreciate all of the comments and good will. I’ve even heard from some of the other Song Quest bloggers, like lilizohar. Very nice person…Algonquin Provincial Park looks near as nice as Nova Scotia.
This is the final week to nominate a specific spot or region in Canada. Voting begins next week – so, I’d really love it if you would swing over to the official CBC Radio 2 Song Quest Page – hit the red box…click the map of Nova Scotia. Find the text box at the top right of the little grey box…type in CARTER’S BEACH.
So, thanks. Carter’s Beach is what I would call a “long shot” for Nova Scotia. Unless there is a huge late rally I have a feeling that Carter’s Beach will be giving way to other perhaps more notable NS locations like Citadel Hill in Halifax, The Annapolis Valley or Cape Breton. I remain hopeful.
Join the Carter’s Beach Facebook Group here. Take care!
