About the Author
John Bird is an award-winning journalist with more than 25 years experience as a writer with "The United Church Observer" and "The Catholic Register", and as editor of "Anglican Magazine", "Catalyst" (Citizens for Public Justice), and the book "Nation to Nation: Aboriginal Sovereignty and the Future of Canada". Music has always been important to John, but never more so than in the past few years, after he fell in love with the ukulele and discovered the joy of making music with other people. John is a founding member of the Ontario band SwingBridge. He now lives in Iqaluit, Nunavut, with his wife, Lorraine, where he plays with The Road to Nowhere Band, sings in the Iqaluit Community Choir, and is always happy to jam with whoever will have him-including Lorraine.
