An Unofficial Anthem: Spirit of the West

While they had a long and celebrated career, Vancouver's Spirit of the West is immortalized by one song: 'Home for a Rest.' This frantic, Celtic-infused folk-rock tune became an unofficial national anthem, a guaranteed floor-filler at university pubs, weddings, and parties from coast to coast since its release in 1990. #Canada #SpiritoftheWest #HomeforaRest #FolkRock 🇨🇦

Long time followers will know that I enjoy a deep joke that optimistically three of you (certainly in #Canada ) might get.

Last night we did a self-entertaining bit where we drove out to Horseshoe Bay to have a drink at the Troller before returning to Deep Cove where–sadly–The Raven is closed and for sale. It was less than nine miles home at least.

As for stops in between, it seems that many of them are gone, but we did have a nice little pint at Queen’s Cross.

In today's edition of Places, Everyone!...I am taking a look at Vancouver's iconic Commodore Ballroom. Built almost a century ago when Swing music was at its height, the Commodore Ballroom has had a full and memorable history that is worth getting to know. Enjoy and have a great day.
