While enjoying a simple, smooth and surprisingly satisfying mineral water at home the other night,  Dutch Mason popped up on the turntable (vinyl rules!)- 'I Ain't Drunk' (don't read anything into that please, Dr. Freud)- a great song, and one that once again reminded me that not only is stained glass something that brings us all joy, but so can the workings of a great artist like Order of Canada recipient Mr. Mason. 

It also reminded me about the often overlooked but incredible richness of our Canadian musical heritage, especially in the blues genre. Canada has given rise to David Wilcox, Paul James, Carlos de Junco, Fathead, Jeff Healey (who grew up just down the street from Fantasy In Glass), McKenna Mendelson Mainline, Big Sugar, Colin Linden, Downchild, Harry Manx, Matt Anderson, Sue Foley, Colin James, never mind the mainstream artists not even mentioned here.  

As such, I have mandated August and September (one is not enough) as Canadian Blues Months at Fantasy In Glass. Don't like the blues, maybe try the malls, 'cuzz that's all we're going to play.
