Heather, George and Karen
Heather a a group of friends made a great afternoon of going to Toronto to check out Geroge Stroumboulopoulis and the Hour being taped live. The day got better when we found out the special guest for the day was Keith Urban. Thanks for inviting us to share the day Heather.

Gregory Hoskins Broadcast’s again tonight at 8pm on CBC Radio 2. (94.1FM).
Tune in and enjoy the music! If you missed it, you can hear it here!
Two great concerts from the Glenn Gould Studio tonight on Canada Live tonight: Gregory Hoskins followed by Harry Manx.
Gregory Hoskins is one of those “best kept secrets” type of artists. Those who have come across him and his musical friends generally describe the live concerts more as “communion” than entertainment. Pun intended – one of Hoskins’s first gigs was to open for Mother Theresa… yes, THAT one, from Calcutta. Hoskins has been working away at music for the better part of 20 years, balancing his career with family in a way that few full-time musicians choose.
This performance is a one-time-only attempt to capture the “Hoskins spirit” in a live concert recording.
The evening will also include half the program arranged for strings, courtesy of international award winning composer Jonathan Goldsmith. Not happy to tread where others have gone before, the strings have been arranged for 2 distinct quartets operating as separate identities on stage, coming together only occasionally. The result is a highly innovative, intoxicating high wire act. With all this musical firepower on stage, this is no ordinary presentation of a singer/songwriter, but an elevation of the genre.
