Canadian content

Okay then, it is periodically necessary to update my license to comment on all things north of the border by including content which if broadcast by CBC would qualify as "Canadian content".  This post is going to qualify as that even though, as most of us know, the Wilson sisters are actually from (south) of the border.

Doesn't matter, Ann and Nancy are officially Canadian content.

And here they are at the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors.  Honorees for 2012 included Led Zeppelin.

So with the three surviving members of the band, John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page in attendance and with Jason Bonham, son of the deceased original drummer John Bonham sitting in on drums the Wilson sisters and a cast of apparently hundreds absolutely kill the Zeppelin signature "Stairway to Heaven".

In the midst of the crowd the POTUS appears appreciative if just a tiny bit stiff (editorial comment here, that's a lot like his performance at his day job) while his wife seems to be a tiny bit more genuinely rocking it.

And in the honoree's box, both Plant, the singer (center), and Page, the guitarist (white haired gent on Page's left), appear to tear up at the quality of the tribute performance.

The original band in 1973.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
