So, did anyone else take in the Colin James concert at the Jube last nite? He has reunited his Little Big Band, now the Little Big Band 3 (LBB3) and has a new disc out with the same name.

His Canadian tour with the LBB3 has been sold out - no wonder, the concert was awesome, so was the pianist who was the opening act.

As much as this tour and concert has sold out, and it does with some other Canadian acts as well, I just get the idea that too often Canadian talent is just never appreciated as it should be in Canada. Anyone else feel this way and think that perhaps the CRTC is the reason? Stations are forced to play a certain amount of Canadian talent and as such, perhaps some feel they are over exposed to the artists?
