Greetings everyone. :) Well, the word is in, and it looks like I'll be doing my Canadian Music radio show staarting next week!! I'm pretty excited about this, since I've been fighting for one for months now. At any rate, since I'm so close to the border, I'm going to try to focus on local music to Ontario, especially during Green Sprouts Week (feb 15-20). If anyone has any suggestions, or know of any bands who might want to be featured, please let me know. I'm going to make this show the best show south of the border. Thanks, - -cas ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 18:27:33 -0500 From: Steve I Subject: Re: cellist guy At 05:32 PM 1/17/99 -0500, Julian wrote, responding to Paul: >On Sun, 17 Jan 1999, navy-soup-digest wrote: > >> Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 01:16:16 -0500 >> From: Paul Schreiber >> Subject: cellist guy >> >> Apparently the "world's greatest cellist" (according to Citytv, anyway) >> was at Roy Thompson Hall last night.

I mean, it *IS* Yo-Yo Ma. :) Damn, Yo-Yo Ma was here and I didn't even realize it! Oh well, I couldn't have afforded it anyway. He is an *amazing* musician though. Did anyone see his Goldberg variations series on CBC? It was a really ambitious and visionary project, fusing the arts - music, dance, film, architecture, landscaping... One of the episodes was directed by Atom Egoyan, I videotaped it (and the rest of the series) but I gave it to my sister before I had a chance to watch it myself. I haven't been down to the music garden at Harbourfront yet, has anyone? I wonder how it turned out... Did he do anything from the Goldberg variations, Julian? Wouldn't be surprised if Sarah saw it. I know she's into Bach, and the Goldberg variations in particular, we even spoke briefly about Yo-Yo Ma's series when it aired. Steve P.S. "cellist guy" indeed! ;-) ------------------------------ End of canadian-music-digest V2 #11 ***********************************
