The Mixtape goes pickin’.
Well, we set sail for spring last night with some acoustic guitar tunes, designed specifically for playing in any and every University Quad (Ok, that isn't exactly what I meant...).Highlights from last night include The Band, George Clooney, Serena Ryder, and Moxy Fruvous.
I also expressed my disappointment in Chris Cuthbert's play by play on the Sidney Crosby gold medal winning goal. Here's Foster Hewitt calling Paul Henderson's Summit Series winner, and Dan Kelly in 1987 with Mario's goal during the Canada Cup. I like Chris Cuthbert as a play by play man, but you've got to be on the ball, because you only get one chance. I suppose it was a good game anyways. For good measure, take a look at Rick Mercer's twitter feed to get a sense of how the game went for most Canadian fans.
Last night's playlist is posted on the Facebook group. Next week's mix continues the instrumental theme and is dedicated to the instrument we all took lessons on when we were kids and then stopped because it wasn't fun and now wish we could play again (...or is that just me?). It is, of course, the piano. And to wet your whistle, I offer up my top three piano geniuses of all time: Victor Borge, this guy, and Victor Borge.
Have a great weekend, I'll talk to you next Thursday at 9pm.
