Happy Canada Day!
Tune in to CBC Radio One today at noon nationwide to hear Amanda Putz and myself host a Canada Day all-request special called Sing For Your Song Canada!
Over the past month we've collected your sing-song requests on our answering machine, belting out the songs that you consider to be your personal Canadian anthems. Tune to see if your message makes the national airwaves!
We also polled some of the most familiar voices on CBC Radio and put them on the singing soapbox as well, such as Michael Enright, Jian Ghomeshi, Nora Young, Brent Bambury and more.
The two-hour show will be a mix of CBC Radio 3 faves like the Weakerthans, Great Lake Swimmers and Joel Plaskett lined up against classic Canadian artists such as Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young.
So grab a beer, hit the porch and crank the radio! It's Canada Day!
