JUDY'S HAPPY LISTENING CANADIAN CDS
|
Neil asked me to pick my favourite CD gifts for this newsletter and I am having a hard time making a list that is just right. There are so many fabulous titles to choose from, some old nuggets that stand the test of time {Neil?} and a staggering {Neil?} amount of new music. 
Yes Virginia, they do still make CDs. There is something special about holding a beautifully designed package in your hand and knowing that it was all part of the plan when the artist went into the studio.
My favourites include Danny Michel, Royal Wood, Emm Gryner, Bonnie Dobson, K.D. Lang, Joni Mitchell, JackSoul, K'Naan, Kellylee Evans, Sarah Harmer, Lynn Miles, Madison Violet, Ali Matthews, Wendell Ferguson, Hannah Georgas, Justin Rutledge, Luke Doucet, Lee Harvey Osmond and more. I can help you pick out the perfect CD for anyone on your list. {Neil: & this I know is true}
Remember, no calories, no size to worry about, no special diet restrictions, and, if you hurry, we can mail it almost anywhere in the world and get it there for Christmas! Call me right now at 519-393-6161 or 1-800-771-6161 or email music@quadro.net
