[mplpost] Bruce Cockburn on CBC

[Lynn Harrison]

Hi everyone,

My CBC husband forwarded this to me today and I thought you'd all be interested.  I just love the opening quote and think I'll put it up on my wall.

Cheers,

Lynn 



MUSICIAN BRUCE COCKBURN PROFILED ON CBC TELEVISION'S LIFE & TIMES,
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27 AT 7 P.M.

"What I want from a song is for it to find a home in somebody's heart. 
What they do with it after that is their business."

My Beat: The Life and Times of Bruce Cockburn is the first intimate
one-hour documentary exploring the life, music, passion and inspiration
of a Canadian music icon. From his early days as an aspiring musician to
his recent induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, Bruce
Cockburn's 30-year career has touched the hearts and challenged the
minds of listeners around the world. My Beat, narrated by actress Sarah
Polley, will be telecast on CBC Television's LIFE & TIMES on Tuesday,
November 27 at 7 p.m.

While other popular musicians won commercial success outside of Canada,
Cockburn resisted the lure of the mainstream. Instead of going the
conventional route, he chose to follow his own path - a long and
sometimes difficult road of self-discovery and spiritual growth. And
now, soon to release his 26th album, the result is a critically
acclaimed body of work and a committed international audience.  

In his personal life Cockburn has tended to be a loner.  Married and
divorced at a young age, Cockburn has only recently rekindled his
relationship with Jenny, his 24 year-old daughter . He has just moved to
Montreal to be closer to her and to his girlfriend, who lives in
Vermont.

Candid interviews with Bruce's first band-mates, his longtime manager
Bernie Finkelstein and fellow musicians Jackson Browne and Colin Linden
are combined with a thoughtful narration by Sarah Polley and rare
archival material of his earliest days on stage and at home. My Beat
shows how this kid from Ottawa has made an indelible mark on the face of
music, here in Canada and around the world.

My Beat was produced by Robert Lang, directed by Nadine Pequeneza, and
written by Nadine Pequeneza and Robert Lang.  My Beat was produced by
Toronto-based Kensington Communications.  Senior producer of LIFE &
TIMES is Michael Claydon.
