Summer has arrived in all its glory in Eastern Pennsylvania. If you’ve ever visited the region in the summer you probably remember the heat and humidity. Many families take trips to Canada to get away from the weather.
This week and next on the program we’ll do just that and feature some recent and classic music from Canada. From Finest Kind, “The Maple Leaf Forever” … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
