I've never been more inspired to keep creating music than I do when I listen to anything you come out with. You'll always be number 1 in my books as best musician Corb

First concert I EVER went to was "The Smalls" in Salmon Arm, BC. In Saskatoon I was given your "Five Dollar Bill" not knowing the relation till a lil later. I was born in Calgary. Great track. Country 101 ;)

I saw you when I lived in Grande Prairie. Born and raised in Calgary. Nice to hear you call it Calgry  rather than Calgary like most people do! It's been an awesome experience watching the river. In one night it went from three blocks away to one block   You never really appreciate what Mother Nature can do until you see it first hand. Wonderful job with this song! Proud of you! And proud to be a calgarian

As a native Calgarian I love this song and how it speaks to how the city pulled together to help one another.

My song 'Blood, Sweat and Water' uses Stampede as a metaphor for the city's courage, hard work and resilience. It's a tribute to everyone who's been toughing it out dealing with the flood damage in southern Alberta. The idea occurred to me after seeing all the work people had done to make Stampede happen this year. I wrote it in the last few days, and me and some of my Edmonton musician friends went in the studio and recorded it in a day.

I was really moved by how the organizers in Calgary were able to bounce back so quickly from the flood and go forward with the Stampede despite challenges I can't begin to imagine. I think it did a lot for the morale of the city, and i know playing the Coke stage this year a was very moving and special experience for me and the guys in my band. I remember seeing the 'Come Hell or Water' graphic just days after seeing the worst of the flood photos.

Nice job Calgary; you handled yourself through this thing with a lot of class.
