Worth Repeating: Canada Day 2009

On July 1 2009, Royal City Rag was live on location in Riverside Park on Canada Day with storytellers Sya Van Geest and Brad Woods, and singer-songwriter Sam Turton. Despite the poor weather, all turned out sunny on a fun show.

• Our storytellers were on fine form;  Sya explaining the origin of storytelling and Brad regaling us with his experiences in the cockpit during his first flying lesson.
• Sam sang several songs on the show, including another new one, “You’re my home, Canada”, written especially for Royal City Rag. He also threw in a soulful version of O Canada to finish the show.
• Unfortunately we had to beat a hasty retreat at the end of the show after Brad got a bit carried away helping out with the firework display.

Catch the show again if you missed it. It was a great one! As usual, we’ll be back with another live show, this Saturday from 8-10 a.m. on CFRU93.3fm.
