Our Best To All Our Readers


Friends, this is the last edition of the newsletter in 2022, and we return from holidays reinvigorated and with a new edition on Thursday, January 5th.

The FYIMusicNews.ca website will be updated if and when there are any major news breaks during the holiday, and we will post on Facebook and Twitter to alert readers if and when this is the case.

As always, practice moderation, drive carefully and, where possible, offer kindness and succour to those less fortunate in our society during the holiday season (and beyond).

Best wishes all from the FYI crew. and, by popular demand, we return the inclusion of Dylan Thomas's most famous yuletide poem in our year-end edition. As old-fashioned as the story is, it remains a gem.
