Welcome to Shift, where Tom Allen takes you on a daily musical journey from the stalwarts of Classical music to the cutting edge of Contemporary tunes. Join us here on CBC music for a round-up of the stories of the day, some videos of music (or maybe just videos interesting to music fans) and a place to speak your voice.
Tuesday October 30th
After a scary night waiting for Hurricane Sandy to touch down in Canada we wake up to find that our American cousins also had turbulent evening. Here are some sobering pictures of New York before and after Sandy.
In a day of disastrous images, watch the narrow escape of these two very lucky fishermen in the North Sea
On a lighter note today on Shift we celebrate the 48th Birthday of the Buffalo Chicken Wing invented on this day back in 1964 at the Anchor bar.
Canadian Musician Abdominal is a big fan of the Buffalo wing, so big in fact he wrote a song chronicling the brief history of the chicken wing.
