Happy 4th of July, Happy Independence Day and a happy day of celebration. I just wanted to pass along my best wishes to our American friends and neighbors to the south and the west as we can’t forget Alaska. Hello to all my friends and family that live in the US.

Maybe we don’t always show it but we in Canada are lucky to have you as our friends and allies. Thanks to the USA, we in Canada enjoy some of the safest geography on the planet.

Wishing you strength and peace.

“We Shall Overcome” is a traditional American Gospel song with lyrics that have changed over the 100+ year history of the song. It was first published by Pete Seeger in 1947. The song is now in Pubic Domain.

George and Tammy

There’s a limited series due out December 4 about this dynamic duo of Country Music Superstars. Based on what I know about the time the two spent together, if done right the audience is in for a wild ride. If you watch this trailer it appears to be just that, this pair was full of magic and major league madness.

Both Tammy Wynette and George Jones are legends in County Music and as solo artists. Together they made music like few others could. Have a listen to “Golden Ring” a song they performed together after a tumultuous divorce.

They had several other great songs together but their individual fame, fortune and lifestyle created a clash for the ages.

Watch the above clip of “We’re Gonna Hold On” and you can see the chemistry that made the pair irresistibly captivating.

As much as they wanted “to go together” fans wanted it too. Some things are just not meant to last, but what a legacy.
