Just thought you'd like to know that I'm carrying the message south of the border (that's the U.S. border). In October I'm going to be presenting a paper on using Canadian music as a tool for learning English language and Anglo culture. It's for a TESOL (Teaching of English as a Second or Other Language) convention of English teachers (it'll be strange--I give most of my classes and presentations in Spanish, but this'll be in English) in Ixtapa, Mexico. Such a shame, they decided to hold the conference on the Pacific coast, right on the beach. I'll be doing a little overview of the history of Canadian music, but most of the hands-on exercises will have to do with "The Canadian Railroad Trilogy" and a few other Gord songs.

Just doing my best to proselytize, while getting 5 free days on the Mexican strand.

Best,
DQ

hello all,
yeas,
tis I...
a long way off from where I have been prior to this.
just trying to listen to as much Gord as I might before this world is no longer mine to embrace...
age!
I see you have all been busy bees!
summer seems to do you all well, I must admit, except Char who is year-round excited about Gord sitings, music, concerts, etc.
good to post, I pray you have all been well? haven't seen my obit, so, I'm here.
you guys are still causing me to giggle.
Char, how does one (educate?), tell a 22 year old about Gord music, I do hope whomever it was could listen to the music and read the lyrics. through your eyes it would be a very good journey.
sir John, always watchful aren't you? ah--lert
