Atlantic Canada Tour + my top CDN Singles
It's been a real busy summer. I'm starting to feel a bit caught up on life after that crazy
100-day tour across Canada last summer. So, naturally I'm hitting the road again in October with
DJ Ducats. Full details below...

CBC: "Shake Ya Caboose is NB's Anthem"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to everyone who emailed/facebooked me to let me know about this one...
On the May 5th show of CBC Radio 1's
The Point,
Peter Anawati, a N.B. network producer picked "Shake Ya Caboose" as his choice for the province's contemporary
anthem. You can listen to the audio, by clicking on
'Part 2' here.
I'm in good company, as Oscar Peterson was chosen for the Manitoba anthem!
Top 10 Canadian Singles of All Time!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I've known Fredericton's Bob Mersereau's for a long while. He's as big a supporter of music as I've ever
known. His Top 100 Canadian Albums book
has enjoyed considerable success (you might remember my Shania Twain quote). Now he's compiling
the top 100 Canadian Singles of all time, and he asked for my input.
I compiled my top 10 Canadian singles below. I know I'll take some heat for no Hip, Rush, Bryan Adams,
The Band, Neil Young, Barenaked Ladies or Leonard Cohen, but I'm sure they'll be well covered by other
voters.
- Maestro Fresh Wes - Let Your Backbone Slide
- The Guess Who - American Woman
- Tom Cochrane - Life is a Highway
- Rascalz - Northern Touch feat Checkmate, Kardinal Offishall, Thrust and Choclair
- Bif Naked - I Love Myself Today

Atlantic Canada Tour
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll be hitting the road Sept 30th with DJ Ducats on our
"East Bound & Down" Tour
The Atlantic Canada Journey
Ducats has held down Ottawa's longest running weekly
hip-hop radio show, airing every Friday on CKCU 93.1 FM
since 1996. His old school sound and my fun live show are all set to hit you up!
We've still got some evenings free that we're looking to book up, if you know anyone who might be interested.
Peace.
