One good carillon record deserves another, and lucky for you I've got one! This time it's from Canada, a land that's far, far away from where I live, and much closer to the North Pole, so maybe they have more Christmas spirit. I spent a few hours in a Canadian airport on the way to Europe this past August, but I don't think I can really say I've been there. I kept buying small things for cash in hopes of getting a looney and a twoney in change (and I'm happy to say I got at least one of each!). Not sure if this record will remind me of the time I spent in the Toronto airport, but maybe. This is

One of my friends now works for a company that sells parts to repair carillons - I showed him your blog and told him you could hook him up for the office Christmas party.
ReplyDeleteCool! Now get me a tour of one of these towers. :)
DeleteThis tower is in Ottawa; never been there, but have been in Canada many times, living only a few hours away.
ReplyDeleteCanada may as well be a foreign country as far as it is away from me. Oh, wait...
