Gift From the North

I always enjoy Thursdays nights. The hip local station, KFOG, has a show called “New Releases Thursdays.” It’s a great way to keep current for over-the-hill gang members like me who don’t get around so much anymore.

This week, they’re pushing Kathleen Edwards--the latest in a long and distinguished line of pop music artists from Canada. She’s the best new artist I’ve heard in a long time. None other than Rolling Stone Magazine seems to agree. She’s made their “The Next Wave: Ten to Watch” May her star rise swiftly.
