This week we complete our two-part feature “Contrast” with a trip to Canada … a big change from last week’s trip to the Tropics. We’ll hear music from Shawna Caspi, John Reischman & the Jaybirds, Eve Goldberg, David Francey, and of course Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Stan Rogers plus a few surprises. So put down that snowshovel!! It’s the Great White North … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
