Nice. This was cool to see. I don't hear much Opera.
shareI'm not even a fan of The Hip, but this still makes my eyes a little misty

Sign of the Gypsy Queen - April Wine

I can't believe this didn't crack the Top 40 (or higher!) in the US. It's as good as any of the Top 40 hits of the major bands of the time.
Their biggest hit in the US was this, Just Between You and Me, charting just outside the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, at #21. I like rock ballads, but in this instance I prefer Sign of the Gypsy Queen.

Strange Animal - Gowan

I guess I could have mentioned Nathan Berg in Hownos's minor celebrities post. I know his sister and have been to his place a few times. Got to hold his Juno (Canada's music awards), and when nominated for a Grammy, you get a medal, so I've held those too. He has won a Grammy, but I haven't been there since that happened.
So this is Nathan singing "Rolling in Foaming Billows" from Haydn's Creation. Not sure the orchestra though.
