Blue Rodeo

I just read this article about the Sens Foundation's President's Party.  What a caring and generous guy Jim is.  As is the whole band.

I am not surprised, the whole band is a class act. Cuddy it truly a sweetheart!

Here's another article about Jim from JAM! Music that also mentions Jim's recent charitable donations, among other things:

Actually, just within my relatively short time on the board, I can think of quite a few charities that Blue Rodeo and Jim have been involved with.

Let's see. Blue Rodeo did that big gala for Keyano College -- something like $25,000.  It's "induction" into the Royal Conservatory involved playing a charity gig. Now the $26,000 or so for this. (When did they do this "fundraising"? I didn't see anything at Malkin.)

Jim is involved in the Gilmour bowling thing every year. He works with MusiCan, a charity that supplies instruments to school kids. The Juno Cup is part of that. For years, he played Beachfest in Ottawa and I think that was a charity gig. During the Olympics, it was mentioned he's involved with a charity supports sports for kids.

Anybody think of anything else?

Between Blue Rodeo, his growing solo career, and his charitable work, you have to wonder when he sleeps.
