01 July Canada Day Musings with Host Colleen Sharpe.  ART BEAT celebrates Canada Day with thoughts on long summer days. Hear Smithers based musician Alex Cuba and  Ron Austin/(T'sek'ot), an artist and hereditary chief living in nearby Moricetown talk about performing a verse from Cuba's song Directo in Wit'suwet'in, an Athabaskan language spoken by First Nations in northwest British Columbia.  Plus, a short essay by Fred Schutz that asks "Where are all the barefoot boys of summer?"  and a delicious cover of Gordon Lightfoot's Love and Maple Syrup by Trent Severn.
