And finally, probably my all-time, favourite musician, Bruce Cockburn is not just a skilled musician and prolific songwriter, with 33 albums to his credit and a Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee. Bruce Cockburn has spent much of his life working with non-government organisations raising awareness of the plight of refugees in latin America, famine and drought in west Africa, and the devastating legacy of landmines in Cambodia.

With thanks to True North Records and Bernie Finklestein, this final track is called 'After the Rain', and is taken from his 1979 album, 'Dancing in the Dragons Jaws'.
