June 2 /06 Northern Ontario Mini-tour a success The "Highway 17" swing of the "Thank You Waitress" tour has come to an end and by all accounts, it was a success. CBC Radio One North (based in Sudbury) gave John's latest album considerable attention while he was up north, as did the print media. John was featured in the Sault Star, and a trip to the "press" page will hook you up with the interview John did with the Star prior to his show in Sault Ste. Marie. The clip on the right is from a Northern Ontario arts and entertainment magazine called "Lopticulations". Go to the "visuals" page for some pictures of the show -- and some live video's on the way as well.

It seems like every time there's a crisis -- in the world of professional hockey, that is -- John is called upon by CBC Radio 1 to sort things out. This time it was an Expert Panel on why the National Hockey League's Ottawa Senators, arguably the best team (on paper anyway!!!) in the NHL are on the verge of elimination by the Buffalo Sabres. Hear it here (mp3)
