Places and Songwriters Named in the Great Canadian Song Quest

For weeks the folks at CBC Radio 2 have been seeking nominations for places and then votes for places and artists to write about those places. Now it's all settled, the places and the artists have been announced and the artists have four weeks to write their songs. You will get a chance to hear them all on CBC Radio 2 Morning and Radio 2 rive on November 23.
