hi there! we’ve been experiencing a little computer trouble here at hille inc., hence the blogsilence. a new power cable should be saving my life fairly soon.
but some nice cbc news:  the glenn gould evening that i was part of last year, titled Idea of North, has won a prize.  in new york!  the Bronze World Medal for Best Music Special at the New York Festivals International Radio Awards.  congrats in particular to caitlin crockard and alan neal for putting it together. Â
and also, as raff kindly pointed out in comments, the cbc radio orchestra Canadian Songbook Two is finally up online. Â right here. this is where we have ndidi onukwulu singing bto, michel rivard singing his own great songs, and myself gently attacking neil young. i get all choked up when we do hallelujah at the end too, not for our singing but for the audience’s contribution at the close. all hail the canada’s orchestra!
and tomorrow i’m off with the band to sing at toronto pride, which should be a fine time. Â we’ll be accompanying ivan coyote, as well as doing our own set. Â all at 6pm at the corner of carlton and church. Â i’ve got to get my hair cut today, in order to look just a little more fabulous. Â xv
