So today is the 140 birthday of my home and native land. A day to celebrate canadian customs and values, music, culture etc. I have to say there are many good canadians succeeding in business, music and the arts, politics, design you name we're there. I suppose I am proud to be a canadian. I am blessed to live in the country that I do and have the freedoms that I have. Sadly I cannot sing the new version of the national anthemn as I do not know the french section... I am too old to have done it in school. I must also admit to a sad knowledge of my country... I doubt that I would pass a citizenship test at all. It has simply been tooooo long since I studied canadian history at school. And to be very honest had no interest in doing any in college because I had done soooooo much in high school. To help celebrate today... which I worked and am heading to a birthday party for a friend.. here are some classis songs:
1) The Irish Rovers (for a celtic theme)
2) A little more modern from Nickelback
3) From my youth, from Kim Mitchell (also a summer anthemn)
4) getting a bit older now. I was only two when this one came out. But it is still a classic.
5) some classic 60s rock by Steppenwolf
I can say many canadian artists fill out my favorite songs/bands list. The above among them. Enjoy!!
