Did you know it's Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday, October 12th? We hope all our fellow Canadians enjoy the holiday!

Fortunately, we only close the entire office on Christmas. Our office has regular hours on Saturday & Sunday, but we won't all be here on Monday...

-Our Technical Support department will be closed, but will re-open Tuesday morning at 10am PST.
-Our Sales & Customer Service department will be open from 8am - 4pm PST.

The Marketing Department will not be available on Monday.
In fact, I'm off all week - but Catherine will be around Tues-Fri (our Marketing Manager).

Our hours list here.

Ever wondered why Canadian Thanksgiving isn't on the same day as American Thanksgiving? I found this article that does a decent job of answering that!

have a great week off Callie!


and thanks for the interesting article!

By the way.. the title "why do Canadians and AMERICANS..." suggests that Canadians aren't Americans!! But both countries are located in North America, so we're both Americans in the same sense that the people of many different countries on the same continent are Europeans or Asians or Africans

Have a very happy Thanksgiving to you all.

And yes, we do play "O Canada", as there are a lot of Canadians who spend the winter here in Florida. I really enjoy their visits and I try to make them feel as welcome as the Canadians always make me feel when I visit our good neighbors to the north.

I remember being on about week 3 of a 12 week Canadian trip and we had July 1st off for whatever it's called in Canada. I remember taking a nice train trip from The Soo to the Agawa Canyon where I took a bunch of really great pictures. (This was so long ago I used that stuff called "film".) However, since July 4th is not a holiday up north, we had to work on what would be our holiday. We didn't care about working, but it seemed to hit home that day when we were supposed to be at picnics and seeing fireworks that we really were away from home, and that kind of brought home a sense of awareness about what the July 4th holiday is all about for us.

In the middle of the second set, our singer, who liked to play it by ear, picked up his guitar and started strumming and told the Canadian crowd about our July 4th, and after that he broke into Springsteen's "Sandy", properly titled Asbury Park, 4th of July. We did not do that song, though we all knew it, and I started scrambling for an accordion sound for the chorus. When we got there I played that swelling accordion part as well as sang the harmony. And when we finished, I found myself in tears. I walked out from behind the keyboard rig and gave him a hug, and the crowd cheered. That day really brought home what our 4th of July is all about. All the "veteran" came out in me, etc....

So Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canuckian friends! And come July 1, we'll talk some more "aboot: the night Eddie cried on stage in Sault Ste Marie.

We LOVED those trips! Great audiences, some really nice, fun people.... Part of what music is all about. (Or aboot...)
