Last song sung / by Poulsen, David A.,1946-author.;
"On February 28, 1965, a young singer named Ellie Foster steps into the alley behind The Depression, a Calgary folk club where she shares the bill with Joni Anderson, who would later become famous as Joni Mitchell. During a cigarette break in a back alley, Ellie is forced into a car, and the musicians with her are shot and killed. The investigation that follows turns up no sign of the kidnappers, and Ellie Foster is never seen again. Now, more than fifty years after the singer's disappearance, Ellie's granddaughter approaches Cullen and Cobb to try to find out what happened to her grandmother. The search for the truth about Ellie Foster takes the two investigators to Saskatoon, Ottawa, Vancouver, and New York. They find themselves investigating a failed political assassination and discover that there are those, even a half century later, who will stop at nothing to ensure that certain secrets remain untold."--

Massey Hall / by McPherson, David(Music journalist),author.; Arden, Jann,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The fascinating story of Canada's most revered concert hall and the myriad artists who have graced its stage. Known for its intimacy and sense of occasion, a night at Toronto's Massey Hall is magical for both audiences and performers. For many musicians, playing the Hall is the surest sign that they have made it. Looking out over the crowd, performers often comment on the intimacy of the venue and the sense of joining history as they stand on the stage where Sarah Vaughan, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, and so many other legends have stood. Based on scores of interviews and meticulous research, Massey Hall: An Enduring Legacy chronicles not only the historical and musical moments of the past century, but the community of artists and supporters that has built up around the hall over the years. Covering both emerging artists such as Shakura S'Aida and William Prince and musical giants from Nana Mouskouri to the Tragically Hip, this full colour book is a celebration of music, community, and our shared cultural heritage."--

Midnight in Siberia : a train journey into the heart of Russia / by Greene, David,1976-;
Rose -- Sergei -- Boris -- Another Sergei -- Lubov -- Nina -- Alexei -- Vasily -- Galina -- Marina -- Angelina -- Andrei -- Polina -- Ivan -- Tatiana -- Svetlana -- Yet another Sergei -- Taisiya -- Igor -- Olga."Travels with NPR host David Greene along the Trans-Siberian Railroad capture an overlooked, idiosyncratic Russia in the age of Putin. After two and a half years as NPR's Moscow bureau chief, David Greene travels across the country--a 6,000-mile journey by rail, from Moscow to the Pacific port of Vladivostok--to speak with ordinary Russians about how their lives have changed in the post-Soviet years. Reaching beyond the headline-grabbing protests in Moscow, Greene speaks with a group of singing babushkas from Buranovo, a teenager hawking 'space rocks' from last spring's meteor shower in Chelyabinsk, and activists battling for environmental regulation in the pollution-choked town of Baikalsk. Through the stories of fellow travelers, Greene explores the challenges and opportunities facing the new Russia--a nation that boasts open elections and new-found prosperity yet still continues to endure oppression, corruption, and stark inequality. Set against the wintery landscape of Siberia, Greene's lively travel narrative offers a glimpse into the soul of twentieth-century Russia--how its people remember their history and look forward to the future"--Provided by publisher.

American utopia / by Byrne, David,1952-author.; Kalman, Maira,illustrator.;
"From former Talking Heads frontman and multimedia visionary David Byrne and revered bestselling author, illustrator, and artist Maira Kalman--an inspiring celebration in words and art of the connections between us all. A joyful collaboration between old friends David Byrne and Maira Kalman, AMERICAN UTOPIA offers readers an antidote to cynicism, bursting with pathos, humanism, and hope--featuring his words and lyrics brought to life with more than 150 of her colorful paintings. The text is drawn from David Byrne's AMERICAN UTOPIA, which has become a hit Broadway show, and soon to be a documentary from Spike Lee. The four-color artwork, by Maira Kalman, which she created for the Broadway show's curtain, is composed of small moments, expressions, gestures, and interactions that together offer a portrait of daily life and coexistence. With their creative talents combined, AMERICAN UTOPIA is a salvo for kindness and a call for jubilation, a reminder to sing, dance, and waste not a moment. Beautifully designed and edited by Alex Kalman, AMERICAN UTOPIA is a balm for the soul from two of the world's most extraordinary artists"--
