    Australian band Old Man River embarked on a heart-warming project earlier this year to offer disaster stricken Japan some good tidings in the wake of their devastating earthquake. An old Japanese tradition states that whomever folds a thousand origami paper cranes will be gratned one wish.

    Ontario, Canada - Hippi
    From Brock Zeman at Muddytimes.ca: "If you were to drive through the heart of Lanark County down the winding #511 Hwy, somewhere down Watsons Corners Road this man scribbles away in his little log cabin and churns out great song after great song. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my best friend: HIPPI (and his dog Potato)."
