"My parent's record collection was a big influence on me which included Nat King Cole, Harry Belefonte, Stachmo, Al Jolson, Frank Sinatra, Lena Horne, Sammy Davis Jr and Elvis. I was probably the only five year old that could sing 'Swanee' and 'California Here I Come' note for note in kindergarten."
But the entertainment didn’t end there! We were also lucky enough to have Juno Award Winner, Norman Foote keep us in stitches during his performance. His interactive numbers, featuring athletes DJ Gilbert and Alex Evanshen, were definite highlights of the evening.

Norman Foote gave a command performance for Prime Minister Jean Chretien in Calgary - June ’96. The Prime Minister sang and clapped along to Norman’s song “Mainstreet Canada” and laughed heartily at Norman’s Talking Head routine. Mr. Chretien quired at the microphone a few minutes later, “Norman, I want that puppet head so I can put it on the leader of the opposition party”.
