    Send GBS to the White House!

    Thanks to your nominations, GBS are on CBC Radio 2's shortlist for 49 Songs from North of the 49th Parallel - AKA Obama's playlist. The guys STILL need your votes to make the top 49!

    Voting ends tomorrow, so you can vote once today and once again tomorrow. You love GBS, don't you think Obama should to?

    Re: Send GBS to the White House!

    I don't think the top 49 were ranked.  The final list came from four sub-lists of different genres- folk,pop,rock; classical; jazz; francophone would be my guess at the headings.  Anyway, Ordinary Day is on the list (given alphabetically on the website).  I heard a spokesperson on the CBC saying that as a crown coporation they aren't allowed to give a gift to a foreign leader, and whether Obama ever gets the list is ultimately up to the secret service, but here's hoping he eventually gets it.

    GBS is essential Canadiana as far as I am concerned.  They are the best this country has to offer 9 years into a new century.  Years ago it may have been Gordon Lightfoot or Anne Murray but these days it is most assuredly Great Big Sea.
