Canada really does have talent

by

Have you been watching Canada’s Got Talent? I have and I’m enjoying it immensely. I find that the talent that made it to the semi-finals is much more diverse than on the American version of the show.

I’m watching this evenings show and the last performance is a native hoop dancer. There was also a dance troupe that performs tributes to tragic life events which sounds depressing but it’s really beautiful. I’ve never seen anything like that on America’s Got Talent.

Surprisingly there’s fewer rock bands and solo guitar/ singer performers getting through than I would expect. The one rock band that I liked had an amazing drummer. I think he played a set of Dunnett Drums. Unfortunately they didn’t get through. However I think the good things about these shows is that even if the people performing don’t make it all the way to even the semi finals or the finals if their talent is shown on national TV it might help them get started.

Well I must vote for my favorite performers from tonight’s show. There were six performances and I really liked three! I should only vote for one though if I want to give an act a serious chance of making it to the finals. Oh what to do, what to do! If you watched the show who got your vote?

Time for the annual Christmas show at work

by

My husband is going to be playing guitar at our hospitals’ annual Christmas event this coming Thursday. He’s been been busy picking out songs and practicing them on his guitar over the last month and a half or so. He’s also been taking his guitar to work to practice with one of the doctors he works with as well as a few other people that he works with in the hospital that will be joining them in performing.

I might stroll over to the hospital on Thursday to watch the show. I’ve certainly put in my time listening to all the practice guitar chords – I think I deserve to hear the finished product … plus I’ll get to hear the rest of the “group” too.

Does your workplace have an annual holiday event? Do employees put on any kind of talent show or anything like that? That’s one of the things that I like about the hospital – there’s this Christmas performance every year, but there’s also a talent show usually in June or July I believe and that’s always fun.
