Video: Pat’s “O Canada” for Canada Day at Joe’s Pub
Thursday, 14 July 2011 | by Pat's Picks
On July 1st, I celebrated Canada Day listening to the annual “Great Canadian Songbook” show at Joe’s Pub in Manhattan. And I led the mostly Canadian crowd in a rendition of O Canada.
Video of the event has just been posted online. Thankfully, I was instructed to “lead” the national anthem rather than “perform.” Helping me through were Peter Kiesewalter (keyboards); Ben Zwerin (bass); Brian Delaney (drums).
Thanks to Mimi Tompkins for the video and to Jeff Breithaupt for producing and hosting the event. All of the performances are online at YouTube, but I’ve included three of my favorites below:
Workin’ for the Weekend Shannon Conley with Victoria Cave
I Just Wanna Stop Lezlie Harrison
The Old Apartment Greg Naughton and Anthony da Costa
