Canada Ping - Ping du Canada

And then the Wongs came down to Provo and let us have some of that wonderful Ginger Beef. Gotta love it! Still not as good as the Calgary stuff though.

Try not to be bothered by the blog police, evidently some people think that nothing interesting can ever be posted by bloggers and that when something interesting is posted that it should be delivered with cringing bows as to its unworthiness.

Yeah let's blog pimp an entire thing on Canada and not mention the first and most successful Canadian rock band to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with nearly 45 million records sold worldwide and 3 of the most influential players in history. Nah....let's not mention RUSH!?!?

Their “Clockwork Angels” tour show was incredible! Loved the deep cuts heavy playlist, pretty much the whole new album being played with the strings backing it up, and the lighting/video system was the best I’ve ever seen. Still think their concert sound mix/system could be better than it is, though.
