I had a fun time with a bunch of Richmond beer lovers yesterday, though I responsibly went home at a reasonable hour so I could be up bright and shiny to bring you some music this morning. One of the more entertaining members of the group is a Canadian who moved down here some years ago, so in honor of Canadian Dan, today I'm playing a set of songs from several favorite Canadian bands. Enjoy!
