well, just got home from the Junos at the MTS Centre downtown…

there were a lot of people there…
we arrived about twenty minutes before it started and it was easy to get in…
it was great fun to be part of the “behind the scenes” action… to see what happens while the commercials are on… to see the cameras and teleprompters, the people running around after each act, mopping down the floors to be sure they were safe for everyone…
the Jennifer Jones team got a standing ovation when they were announced as presenters… Chris Hadfield was cool and also got an ovation… he sang a few lines of a BTO song before he introduced them…
many performers there whose music I knew, mainly from my driving in the car and listening to the radio…
the finale with a couple of younger bands joining BTO on the stage for Taking Care of Business was a great ending…
then we just had to get out through all the people, but the girls made sure we made it safely… even though we waited a bit, there were big crowds going the same direction as we were…
a memory to add to my collection…
