To all my Canadian brothers and sisters around the world, happy Canada Day!
I know I just posted a live Neil Young video yesterday, but not only does this video have Neil Young, it also has the The Band, AND Joni Mitchell singing backing vocals offstage. It doesn’t get much more Canadian than that. OH!, and they’re singing ‘Helpless’.
“There is a town in north Ontario, with dream comfort, memory to spare…”
Enjoy!

Here is a nice live version of Neil Young singing a song of his I love, ‘Comes A Time’:
Tomorrow is Canada Day, we’re getting prepped here early with some superb Canadian artists, enjoy!

It’s nice that I have a bunch of fans and friends from Commonwealth countries, thank you for keeping in touch through my site, and I hope you’re all having a lovely warm Boxing Day with your loved ones!
I’ve already been up since 4AM, booked a couple of shows, and now I have some chores to do before I’m out tonight performing. Fortunately, there are no ridiculously mobbed sales here in the U.S.A. Remember, if you have to shop today, shop small businesses and local when possible!
Here’s one of my favourite Commonwealth songwriters, Neil Young ‘Live at the BBC’:
Enjoy!

Neil Young (with some other guys) singing ‘Down By The River’:
You can even hear the California sunshine bleeding through on the mics a bit.
Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my lovely Canadian friends!
While the farmer folks are out pulling in the last haul from the harvest, I’ve got some Leonard Cohen and Neil Young playing on the musicbox. Obviously I live simultaneously in the 19th Century and 1960s.
Love,
SJ
“An old rocker� That’s the best they could come up with?! How about legendary? Or timeless? Canadians are about as peaceful as they come, but don’t mess with Neil Young.
