Calgary

Greetings, darling readers. While I know this is where we would typically do our Happy Weekend post, it seems slightly inappropriate given the devastation in Canada at the moment. In keeping with the current trend of the US media, it isn’t getting much attention because it doesn’t involve a Kardashian or Angelina Jolie but, nevertheless, lives have been lost and countless citizens have lost their homes and all of their belongings with more rain to come.
While Thirty Roses isn’t really a current events publication, think of the endless number of amazing musicians and producers who have come from Canada. Furthermore, sometimes tragic events occur and the music industry has to be put on the back burner for a moment and we have to help our fellow citizens and friends.

THIS article on the CBC has a great list of Twitter pages and emergency contacts so you can check on water levels, affected communities, and road closures.

Cat Ward of Selective Image and Colleen McDonnell, a beloved friend and resident of Calgary who has, thankfully, remained above the flooding, have both suggested Canadian Red Cross if you’re able to spare a dollar or two.

We have a lot of readers and subscribers from Canada and, in addition to being monumentally grateful for your support over the years, we hope you and your families and friends are safe.

And now a little music…a gorgeous song from one of the most brilliant people Canada has given the world, monsieur Daniel Lanois.

Much love, everyone.
