Honourable Mentions

As much fun as it was to put together a list of great Canadian musicians, it hurts to have left so many off the list. The McGarrigle Sisters would have been at the top of any list of great Canadians for any occasion, but I posted a blog tribute to them last month in honor of Kate’s passing. Here are a few artists who make me wish the Olympics had gone on a little longer:
