Everyone knows that the CBC (stupidly) sold the famous Hockey Night in Canada theme song to another network right? Well now they're scrambling to replace the theme song and have come up with a contest to choose it. There have been tons of entries so far, some good, some lame, but I wasn't really paying attention until my father stepped up to the plate and composed his own! He's a huge hockey fan and has been involved in music forever so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that he composed an entry, it's just that it's pretty darn good! I hope some of that creativity worked its way into me. Anyway, the more hits his entry gets the better so do me a favour and follow the link below and give the song a listen!

Well, the contest is heating up. Chris, are you going to toss your hat in the ring?
So, here's another entry:

Check it out, if you like it, don't hesitate to vote. My son really needs a P-car of his very own.
Thanks

I have indeed thought about it, either composing a quasi-symphonic version or maybe doing something with the rock band. Thing is, as an "art music" composer, I'm pretty pissed at the CBC right now, and I don't really relish the thought of contributing to their "oops, we f*^ked up, please save our ***!" campaign. Allowing the rights to Delores Claiborn's HNIC theme slip away for a measly million bucks was just asinine. It looked damn good on them when CTV stepped up immediately and paid for it. The bureaucratic assclowns currently at the top of CBC make Harper's and McGuinty's gov't look like a sleek, well-oiled machine. Even after Harper goes and does something like this:

Hey, Chris, I sure am with you about the cutback in funding for the arts. It is, however, consistent with the conservative/republican stance of trashing anything remotely intellectual or thought-provoking...it might cause people to start to wonder about the mindless dogma they just keep repeating as received wisdom/"common sense." Another example...tax credits for kids involved in hockey (I have no problem with this), but not for pursuits like piano lessons.
