Happy holiday (for some) Monday, all!
While I know that it's not an actual stat holiday, perhaps a lot of you find yourselves not working today? Or, if you are working, perhaps you're not giving it your all? Good for you!
It's a holiday for R3, so I'm here but not really here. Trippy.
I'm heading to the East Coast Music Awards later on this week, and that spawned my idea for this week's Monday Music Meld: Artists Who Represent Their Regions.
Some artists have become synonymous with where they're from, and I got some great examples from Benoit from Ottawa, mandypants, Old Abe, axis, MikeV, Shonica, tb3, loweeda, Music Laura, zammachus, dawn.h, Christine McAvoy, KristaMark, zoot aloors, rebbey, flannel tom, laurenelizabeth, stephedp and emmagodmere.
Honourable mentions to dempsergirl, StephRamsahai, cathyort, CDNz1, and carlyg.
Technically, I'm not really here next Monday, either, because I'll still be in Moncton. So, I'm going to do something a little different for next week.
Send along your ideas for Monday Music Meld themes. We stil have some ideas to get to, but we're running a little low! Comment below, with "Theme Idea" as the first line, email Craig.Norris@cbc.ca using "Theme Idea" as your subject line, or tweet me @craignorriscbc!
