We love Cape Breton music! My daughter plays fiddle, so we often hear CB around the house.
Happy Canada Day (a day late).
I've always enjoyed Canadian music and consider myself fortunate to live close enough to the border to be able catch a good number of Canadian artists on radio and TV stations we can get here in the Detroit area.
