The dictionary defines a "people"as a plurality ofpersonsconsidered as a whole, but you and I know the people come in all shapes and sizes. Today on Shift an examination of all different kinds of musical people.
There's those who rise above the "Ordinary People"
Then there's the rest of the "Ordinary People"
There are "Short People"
The guys in Great Big Sea know "Good People" when they meet them likeCapitanClaw everyone's favourite Lobster. Lobsters are people to!
"Some People" like Dan Mangan. Actually lots of people do.
