As a child, thanks to my mother’s never-ending desire to learn all about other peoples and other religions, I found out that while I was totally and enthusiastically (and sometimes single-mindedly) enthralled with Christmas, there were also a number of other holidays being celebrated in that special time between Thanksgiving and the end of the year. I was, however, simply all about getting presents. As I grew older, I came to understand more about the spirit of Christmas and the meaning of t...

Like the first one: Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze those dangly things there, and drink whatever comes out?" I've often wondered about things like that. We take milk from cows for granted, but someone, somewhere, had to be the first person to milk a cow, and that's the sort of thing that's never in the history books. I wish it was. I...

The Fiddlers Crossing poster for West My Friend reads: "Canadian eclectic acoustic ensemble." The trio of young and accomplished musicians from Vancouver Island has also been called an "Indie folk pop band," or simply "Indie roots." Other music reviewers have called the band, "Third-wave indie rock pop with three-part harmonies," and their style, "Cascadian third-wave indie progressive chamber folk-roots music." Obviously, West My Friend defies being pigeon-holed into any one genre. Their blend...
