Next Friday will be Canada Day and this morning, to mark this special day, we’ll hear from some wonderful Canadian artists and songwriters. We’ll be celebrating the music and art of one of the most admired Canadians in the world of music, Robert Farnon. He is particularly well known to us as a highly respected composer of orchestral and film music as well as a musician, conductor and arranger in the popular music field. And we’ll also make a visit to Montreal in the late 1950s, early 1960s to listen to some fine singers and jazz musicians who were broadcasting for the CBC back then. Happy Canada Day!
