This episode is a special celebration of Canadian music and the musical history of this country. We want to acknowledge that this show represents the music of Canadian artists that have had Top 40 mainstream success – which is just a small part of our overall history and culture.  That being said, we will try to cover as many types of music from as many different regions as we can.
