Canadian Musicians and What They Read

appy St George's Day and Happy Children's Day! I hope the link works; it's to the Turkish Wikipedia page.

In honour of Children's Day, celebrated by me in Canada, I'll be featuring some great Canadian musicians and their favourite children's books.

First up, Spirit of the West, whom you might know through their rousing Home For A Rest, or the song that first got me, If Venice Is Sinking, or even through the last Winter Olympics - three members of the band, along with folk musician Matthew Harder and Ashley MacIsaac, recorded a charity single called Dreams (available here), to benefit the first Ghanaian athlete ever to participate in the Winter Olympics, skier Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong.

Stay tuned!
