Ah yes, Carlin In The Morning on Orangeville's DC 103.5... I'd emailed him some years ago, asking if he could send me digital versions of the O Canada Foundation recordings for my employer's library, and he did!

Still remember when CHEX TV in Peterborough used part of this version's in-studio video at sign-on and sign-off for much of the '90s; the station later used the "semi-vocal" orchestral version, with images shot around CHEX's coverage area, such as the Peterborough skyline (Quaker Oats plant, CP rail bridge, MNR building etc.), Cobourg harbour, and the railway yard at Havelock. Of course my elementary school played the star-studded version every day after morning announcements, and on Fridays, they'd play the Nylons' rendition.

Fantastic!

Thanks for sharing this ig, talk about nostalgic fuzziness! I’m pretty sure I saw Leafs coach Pat Burns in one of the chorus shots, didn’t know he could sing! It should be resurrected in these tariff times.
