UPDATED: The one where he humiliates himself musically

UPDATE 2: BBC Newcastle heard about this … from Lindisfarne, apparently (?!) and asked Alan Neal and I to head into the studio to have a chat. My a cappella rendition of the first verse of Winter Song didn’t make it into the final piece. Too bad, so sad. But here’s what we chatted about:

UPDATE: All in a Day host Alan Neal brought me, a couple of other song pluggers, and Rolf on to the show a few minutes ago, and we learned that there was a tie at the top: “Song for a Winter’s Night” by Gordon Lightfoot (a worthy song for a December show):


Sarah Harmer will be singing that this Friday.

Meanwhile, some friends (or is that “friends”) of Rolf Klausener ganged up and he will be performing “Buffalo” by Stump.

So… that’s interesting. But just when I thought all was lost, Rolf announced that because he loves the Northern England folk-rock tradition so much… HE’S GOING TO DO “Winter Song” TOO! SQUEEEEEEEEEE! So it looks like Sarah Harmer won’t be singing “Winter Song” by Lindisfarne on CBC’s Share Central program this Friday.

But you know what — even if Rolf wasn’t bending to my will, the important thing is this: Causeway is more than $2100 richer thanks to people reading this blog or my Twitter stream or getting involved in this fun however they did it. Yay!

A group led by folks from the Ottawa Jazz Festival have won with their choice of “Baby it’s cold outside” by raising nearly $600 (I just assumed they won, but have been politely informed that the winner is not yet known) for the chosen charity of “All in a Day“, Causeway Work Centre.

The good news is that this friendly competition has raised somewhere around $2000 for Causeway. And since you won’t hear Sarah, or Rolf Klausener of The Acorn, singing my chosen song, I guess you’ll have to make do with this. Alan Hull and Lindisfarne, if you’re out there, this is the best I can do. And as for the rest of you: use the gifts you’ve been given to help others, at Causeway or elsewhere.

Merry Christmas.
