I hope the artists that get to play this unique instrument are truly appreciative of the great honor they have received. What a great concept and a wonderful tribute to Canada's history and heritage!
I tried to log on yesterday but could not so this is a day late but "Happy Canada Day" to all of our friends north of the border!
