Good morning fellow CBC Radio3ers. I hope wherever you are in the world, the sun is shining on you. You’ve picked the best of days to tune into cbcmusic.ca for The Craig Norris Hour.
For 21 years now I’ve been known by friends and family alike as Jay Rose. For my all important cbcmusic.ca blog I decided to go with the user handle “jayrose” (very likely a top 10 most original username in all the land). Tuning in to The Craig Norris Hour this morning you will surely hear a little about my transition from small town Picton, Ontario to the big city(ish?) of Ottawa and a few of the hiccups along the way.
We will also hear a few of my favourite tunes from various bands. I cannot tell you exactly why or how I selected the songs I did, mainly because there was no rhythm or rhyme to it, they all just make me wanna tap my feet (or stand up and dance). You will hear a song from the band that drew me to cbcmusic.ca in the first place, as I was unable to find their music anywhere else on the vast world wide web at the time (any guesses?).
Craig promises to do his thing, and I promise to do mine. Make sure to take a listen and if you’ve ever even thought about doing the co-host initiative… DO IT!!! (shameless plug to “adamungar1”)"
