METRONOME

Metronome Canada needs your support.
You don't have to send money, just a
quick email with a few words in favor of
a proposal that could make the above headlines
a reality no matter where you are in Canada.

For the past 15 years
 thousands of volunteers
have done the ground work that
could put the shovel in the ground
to turn the first sod
on this amazing Canadian project.

Now it's your turn to play a vital role
in this Musical story.
After taking a look at  http://www.metronomecanada.com

This is not a dinky little display of a few pictures
and  some dusty  memorabilia.
World Renowned Panasonic Inc. has committed
$5 million as Lead Sponsor to supply unique
lighting, video and audio displays to bring
our music to life.
There is a live theater where Atlantic Canada artists will get
plenty of gigs during the year.

Look at this building...




Wouldn't you love to be there for The opening
night of this Awesome "Atlantic Canada Floor".

That's one complete floor of this expansive complex
just for Atlantic Canada Music Artists and their story.
The Past, Present and Future...

All I can say at the moment is...The Headlines at
the top of this page will come true for some of you
if this truly wonderful, magical musical venue
is given the chance to show the world what it can do.

It's August 24 2009 and you are here reading this page.
Please take the few minutes it takes to click on the link
and be sure to add your name and address at the bottom

This will make the difference for some Atlantic Canada musicians
to be plugging in...and blasting on that opening night.
You know what a party that is going to be...
You've been to events like this in the past.
You might even have been back stage
enjoying  the camaraderie and excitement
that  once in a lifetime  happenings like this provide.

musical artist who you think deserves this permanent
recognition in a venue that will be viewed by millions

phase one construction.

gala event.
Gene Maclellan created music, suffered
and died . Dutchy did it all...

METRONOME, This  amazing architectural design and
building is not something that has been cooked  up
as some whimsical idea in the recent past.
No, It has a history that goes back 20 years.
In fact, the physical model of this complex structure
was displayed at Dalhousie University
and at The East Coast Music Awards in 1999.
The complete architectural plans, submitted by
 Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects
Won the Canadian Architect Award of Excellence for design
and it was selected for exhibition at the
Union of International Architects conference in Barcelona, Spain.

Over the past 15 years Thousands of volunteers have
put their mark on the vision of seeing this project completed.
Two hundred and forty-five Media Patrons
(TV, radio, print, billboard) from across Canada
have donated $5.7 million in advertising.
Twenty-six construction companies have committed $4.3 million
to help build METRONOME.
Panasonic Inc.  has committed $5 million as Lead Sponsor.
Everyone is waiting for the go-ahead sign.
See the complete story on this awesome project
at http://www.metronomecanada.com    

 What started out as an idea to
celebrate the Canadian Music Industry
is so close to taking physical form.
Massive support with a short personal note
from you will make the difference.

Idea plus action ='s completion.

All the major work has been done.
Your part, Your action is to let a few
government officials know that you are
aware of the project, you have a name,
where you're from and as an Atlantic Canada
 music lover and supporter you would
like to see this Incredible project
get the start up grant it deserves.

As Canadians we are all in this together.
I'm sure there are other groups asking for support
in their communities as well.
We all have a stake in this but Hank Snow
is not going to be competing with Randy Bachman.
Neil Young will not be butting in on our space.
They have their own floor.
That's the exciting part.
There will be a complete floor of the building
just for Atlantic Canada music.
Other regions of Canada will have their own floors.
I'm sure you get the picture by now.

THIS IS WHAT I DID

I sent my email in and below is the personal note
that I added at the bottom of  their two paragraphs,
as well as putting my name and address at the bottom.

It is best that you make up your own..no matter how short or long
This was my note.

This project is long overdue.
The support and desire to complete Metronome
has always been strong. It is a self supporting system
when completed and has only been side tracked
by insufficient start up funding.
As a musician who worked in Toronto in the 60's
70's 80's and 90's I can only say
Toronto deserves this unbelievably worthwhile
Icon of Canadian Music.
Lets create this vision of Hope for the future
by celebrating the music of great Canadian artists,
especially those from our region "Atlantic Canada"
who continue to influence and encourage great music
around the world.
Metronome is one of a kind, the way
Hank Snow, Anne Murray, Glen Gould, Shania Twain,
Gordon Lightfoot, Oscar Peterson, Moe Kauffman, Denny Doherty
Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Figgy Duff, The Guess Who, Ian and Sylvia,
Wilf Carter, Stan Rogers, Gene Maclellan, David Clayton Thomas,
Ian Thomas, Rita MacNeil, Natalie MacMaster, Matt Minglewood,
 Stompin Tom Connors, Al Tuck, Ryan Cook, Dutchy Mason
Ron Hynes, John Allen Cameron, John Campbelljohn, Paupers, Edward Bear,
Magic Circus, Buddy and The Boys, Sam Moon and Celine Dion are.
Lets put the icing on Canada's Musical Heritage cake.
           Lets help build Metronome Canada.
           A Living Monument to Canadian Music
