I've seen her round these parts a few times. There's a pretty robust country music scene just north of Oshawa. I'm not super into country, but I think she's one of the best in the area.

I’m not sure if this is the right forum to post in but Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir figure skated to long time running at the olympics last night as a tribute to Gord and The Hip. I’m not a figure skating fan but it was really awesome to watch.

Ya, definitely the right forum.

My wife and I were both tearing up watching that over coffee this morning. Yeesh.
Incidentally, whether or not you're a fan of ice dancing, you really should punch of the video of this duo's gold-medal skate. A rare case of two atheletes who needed to absolutely nail it in order to win, and who simply killed it, overcoming all resistance with an absolutely masterful, burning, incandescent performance.

A beautiful and moving celebration of their skill and athleticism, of their 21-year partnership, all their successes including their gold medals, a celebration for Canada, for Gord (and his love of dance...and its disappearance), and a celebration of their sport and the Olympics. It was perfect.
