For some reason I decided to venture into BCE Place and see what type of food and merchandise offerings they had. ....
Well to my surprise, there were lots of people standing around a stage and listening to someone sing and play guitar. I couldn't identify who it was but figured it had to be someone "big" or else there wouldn't be the large number of people gathered. I was curious so I walked closer and identified a popular song coming from the sound system. Aha! it was a barenaked lady.... Steven Page, the band's lead singer to be exact! Wow .... what a surprise. So, I loitered in front of the stage swaying to the music (Brian Wilson, If I had a Million Dollars etc...) and then was surprised once again when Steven asked Dan Ackroyd to came on stage to play and sing with him!
I think I better take more lunchtime walks.

How fun! I didn't know Dan Ackroyd could sing...
Soooooo, did you ever get back to work?
Wow! Lesley, what a stroke of luck. That was a lunchtime to remember wasn't it? Did they put on a good show? I didn't know Dan Ackroyd could sing either, but I think I would have been bursting to rush back to work andtell everyone after that! More than just a pleasant surprise ;-)
Ah ha, its amazing what you discover from reading other blogs. Dan doesn't sing that well, but plays a mean harmonica - after all he and John Belushi were the Blues Brothers - who recorded a few albums a few decades ago.
I never have lunch hours like these. We did once get all excited when the lead singers of the Cranberries (Dolores O' Reardon?) came to our school for a curriculum evening because her stepchild was a student.
The mayor's daughter is here this year too, and you know how he likes to come out like a regular guy and cheer on his kids.
Have a great weekend! Can you believe this summer weather? *swoon*

It is amazing what you learn from blogging isn't it? Hope you get some more nice lunchtime surprises this week, Lesley xx
so cool!
Wow, very cool! I have not had such luck on a lunchtime walk.
Rachel!

I'd still buy Kraft Dinner...

that's cruel
You lead such a show bizz life style..:0)
Yes, Dale, I know the Blues Brothers! Great movie, too. I'll do penance later.
I've been working much to much and too hard and my brain is tired....I could use a nice relaxing lunch hour walk....for about a week...:)
Watch the news coming out of the Clinton Global Initiative tomorrow. I suspect in the next day or so Earthpark will hit the international wires...
