Hard to believe....but Barack Obama will be sworn in as the President of the United States in a mere 2 weeks from today. And there is so much to do...so much on his agenda...
So now is the perfect time to be a little frivolous...
There's a move afoot to come up with a suggested playlist for the new President's ipod..A list that would help him better understand his neighbours to the north.
So what would you include on a Canadian Song playlist for Barack Obama?
For what it's worth...here's my top fifteen list, (in no particular order):
* Stompin' Tom Conors version of
"I've Been Everywhere"
* Frank Sinatra's
"I'll Never Smile Again" (written by Ruth Lowe)
* Stan Rogers' "
Northwest Passage"* The old CBC
"Hockey Night in Canada" Theme, (now owned and under used by TSN!)
* Moe Kauffman's
"Swingin' Shepherd Blues"* Marc Jordan's
"Tears of Hercules"* Lighthouse's
"One Fine Morning"
* David Foster's
"Calgary Winter Olympics Theme"* Ian and Sylvia's
"Four Strong Winds"
* Joni Mitchell's
"Both Sides Now"* Gordon Lightfoot's
"If You Could Read My Mind"* BTO's
"Takin' Care of Business"
* Maynard Ferguson's version of
"Gonna Fly Now!"
* Murray McLauchlan's
"Down By The Henry Moore"
* KOS's
"Sunday Morning"What would you add??
