What You Need to Know About Canadian Music and Musicians
Sadly, most of us here in the U.S. are blissfully unaware of performers that dont hail from one of the 50 states. Ask the average Joe on the street if they know of any Canadian musicians, and if you get any response, youll hear Celine Dion or Shania Twain, maybe even Bryan Adams or Neil Young. While these are certainly talented musicians in their own right, they certainly do not represent the breadth and depth of the Canadian music scene. Some of the ignorance is due to the cultural similarities between ourselves and our neighbors to the North. Pop/punk sensation Avril Lavigne is so popular with the tweener set here in the U.S. precisely because she looks and sounds like she could have stepped off of any high school campus in middle America. But aside from such superstars as Alanis Morrisette and Rush who have transcended any national boundaries and become truly international, Canadian musicians have plenty to offer the world in terms of exciting and fresh music. I would like to offer a few suggestions in various categories, and perhaps with a casual listen, youll discover like I did that the Great White North has more to offer than a few tasty brews.
Rock/Pop/Hip-Hop
Where would any serious discussion of contemporary Canadian rock be without including Nickelback, originally out of Hanna, Alberta, but now based in Vancouver. With smash hits like Photograph and How You Remind Me, its hard to come up with a more successful Canadian group over the last few years. Ontario based Shaker is an up-and-coming act that is beginning to show great promise. Their first full-length release, Throw Your Good Side On, is scheduled to be released this year (2006). Shaker reminds me of a less-bluesy version of The Black Crows, however, the inflection of vocalist Daniel Brooks is like nothing so much as a latter day version of fellow Canadian vocalist Tom Cochrane. Nelly Furtado continues to impress with her latest effort, Loose. As usual for Furtado, she continues to explore new ground with her songwriting and looks to continue doing so well into the future. Vancouver based Jakalope is an interesting act that fails to be categorized, alternately sounding like anything from The Smashing Pumpkins to Evanesence to a methed up Madonna, they never fail to be interesting. In the world of hip-hop, no Canadian group seems as poised for superstardom as Dead Celebrity Status. Their first album, Blood Music hit the streets to great reviews. Originally formed as a duo, Project Wyze, in 1988, they have since added mix-master DJ Dopey and have shared a stage with Ozzy Osbourne and Public Enemy. Their impressive performances have given them the juice to add appearances by Dave Navarro, Joss Stone and Bif Naked to their recordings. I failed to mention Crash Test Dummies, one of the more promising bands from Winnipeg, due to the uncertainty about their future status. They were enormously influential from about the mid-1990s to their last release in 2004. It is unfortunate that apparently artistic differences have taken their toll on the Dummies.
Country/Folk
Canadian singers have made tremendous strides in country music over the last several years and dusky voiced Kathleen Edwards is no exception. Her 2005 release Back to Me won her critical acclaim in the U.S., appearing on the David Letterman and Jay Leno shows and opening for Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. No less interesting, though decidedly more alternative, the Cowboy Junkies have made a career of turning country music on its head. From sultry renditions of Patsy Clines Walking After Midnight on their 1998 disc The Trinity Session to the folkie Two Soldiers from 2005s Early 21st Century Blues, which is eerily reminiscent of the 1970s protest anthems of Dylan and Lennon. Ontario bred Grievous Angels is certainly one of the most interesting country acts to come along in recent years. Blending new beats, along the lines of the country-pop sounds of Keith Urban and the Dixie Chicks, with the twangy sounds of early 1970s country music. Unfortunately, their once promising career appears to have stalled with the entry of singer Charlie Angus into the political arena having been elected to Parliament in 2004. It is hoped that once Mr. Angus has served his term that he will return to making music once again, however, at this time that prospect remains uncertain. One also cannot forget the irrepressible k.d. lang, though to refer to her as a purely country act would be selling her short. Langs amazing vocal talents have been employed on everything from contemporary country to torch songs to pop standards and back again. Her versatility and vocal range are legendary and not listing of Canadian musicians would be complete without her.
Other
Alas, this article is too short to be truly inclusive, but I could not get by without listing two of my all-time favorites. Sue Foley and Diana Krall are two of the most impressive musical talents Canada has to offer, and as a citizen of the U.S., I must thank Canada for these two wonderful chanteuses. Foley, a blues guitarist/singer/songwriter from Ottawa, honed her chops primarily in Austin, Texas, but oddly enough, is rarely recognized in the U.S. except amongst blues enthusiasts. A true virtuoso on guitar with an unusual but delightfully reedy quality to her voice, she has managed to impress some of the biggest names in the business including, B.B. King, Buddy Guy and Koko Taylor. Sues latest CD, New Used Car (2006) was recently released to excellent reviews. Diana Krall, who hails from Vancouver, is as lovely to look at as she is to listen to. Enchanting is the best way to describe her hypnotizing smooth Jazz sound. She really broke through in the U.S. in 2000 when she toured with Tony Bennett. Her work with Elvis Costello (who she married in 2003) served to further increase her popularity. Though she currently resides in New York, she has maintained her Canadian citizenship and was made and officer of the Order of Canada in 2005.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO LEARN TO PLAY GUITAR by Adam Davies.
Now theres a question, why DO you want to play guitar?
For many people it is to emulate their musical heroes. They hear them play and they realise that nothing can match them. To be able to learn to play guitar as half as good as them is something many people can only dream of.
Is Jimi Hendrix the man that inspires you. An absolute showman. A left handed man who taught himself to play with an upside down right handed guitar. You could watch him on tv with the sound turned down and marvel at his obvious genius, but why would you want to do that? Its the music we want and its him we want to emulate.
Who else inspires you? Eric Clapton possibly. A man who still makes great and innovative music after nearly 40 years in the music industry. What about Dave Gilmour? If ever there was a band to listen to in a darkened room, Pink Floyd would be my choice every time.
Im sure you could tell me a dozen more legends that you regard as geniuses that inspire you every day to learn to play guitar or improve your guitar playing.
Many people pick up the guitar with every intention of learning and emulating their heroes every day and many of these go on to learn and play very successfully. These people have obviously been inspired by something else other than just hearing their heroes. They have had good teachers that have made their lessons inspiring. They have also had the time to spend on lessons that fitted around their busy lives and commitments.
The problems occur when you cant find an inspiring teacher or you cannot find the time to get your lessons around your busy lives and commitments and thats when many people start to lose interest. They become frustrated and start to find that they pick up the guitar less and less.
This is where the internet comes in to its own. You can find everything you want at any time of day or night and be inspired by the right teachers in the comfort of your own home at a time that suits you, even if its 3am.
http://onlineguitarlesson1.blogspot.com is a place where you can find the resources you need to learn to play guitar at your own pace and at your own time and also find other resources such as guitar sales, articles and info on all things guitar.

MASH (Season 1) DVD Review
Based on a Richard Hooker novel of the same name, MASH was released in 1970 as a full-length feature film by 20th Century Fox before experiencing widespread success as a groundbreaking television sitcom in the Fall of 1972. The show's brilliant integration of drama and comedy made it one of the most celebrated shows in TV history, culminating in an eleven year prime time series stint. The 1983 series finale of MASH made history as the program with the single largest audience in television history, beating out several SuperBowls and the fabled "Who Shot J.R." episode of Dallas. With the proliferation of new television mediums, it's a record likely to never be broken
The sitcom is set in South Korea during American involvement in the Korea War (with M*A*S*H standing for "Mobile Army Surgical Hospital"). Buffered from the front lines by a mountain range and a minefield, the men and women of MASH were tasked with patching up wounded American soldiers. Unique to its genre, the cast of MASH was unusually large. Surgeons Dr. Benjamin Pierce (Alan Alda) and Dr. "Trapper" John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) play the roles of excellent doctors who enjoy women and booze, while Dr. Frank Burns (Larry Linville) and Nurse Practitioner Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan (Loretta Swit) play foil to the two men's shenanigans (due to a contract dispute, Rogers' character was later replaced by Dr. B.J. Hunnicutt - played by Mike Farrell). The character of Frank Burns was also later replaced by Dr. Charles Emerson Winchester (David Ogden Stiers)
Corporal Max Klinger (Jamie Farr) provides comic relief with his early attempts to procure a discharge by dressing in women's clothing, and Father Francis Mulcahy (William Christopher) adds flavor to a diverse cast of characters. Also rounding out the cast are Lt. Col. Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson), Corporal Walter "Radar" O'Reilly (Gary Burghoff), and Col. Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan)
The MASH DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the series premiere in which Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John McIntyre learn that their houseboy, Ho-John, got accepted to Hawkeye's alma mater. In order to raise money for Ho-John's trip to the United States, the two auction off a weekend pass to Tokyo with Nurse Dish and celebrate the college acceptance with a lavish party Other notable episodes from Season 1 include "The Moose" in which a GI arrives at camp with a Korean female slave he purchased, and "Cease-Fire" in which the MASH camp prematurely celebrates a purported cease-fire which never takes place
