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
