style=\"color:#000080;\">This really was an excellent Ceremony. However, one of the enduring highlights for me was seeing one of the many Canadian musicians, in this case my favourite singer, Neil Young. he sang &#8216;Long May You Run&#8217;, from the 1976 album of the same name. Neil is now 64, and the voice may not be what it once was, but it&#8217;s always good to hear him sing. Incidentally, that beat up old guitar he was playing is one of his two favourites, this one being the Martin D28 he lovingly calls Hank after its previous owner, Hank Williams. That guitar may look old and beat up, but it is positively priceless.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Filed under: <a href='http:\/\/papundits.wordpress.com\/category\/countries\/americas\/canada\/'>Canada<\/a>, <a href='http:\/\/papundits.wordpress.com\/category\/humor\/images\/'>Images<\/a> Tagged: <a href='http:\/\/papundits.wordpress.com\/tag\/2010-vancouver-winter-olympic-games\/'>2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games<\/a>, <a href='http:\/\/papundits.wordpress.com\/tag\/ed\/'>Ed<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/papundits.wordpress.com\/31906\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/papundits.wordpress.com\/31906\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/papundits.wordpress.com\/31906\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/papundits.wordpress.com\/31906\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/papundits.wordpress.com\/31906\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/papundits.wordpress.com\/31906\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/papundits.wordpress.com\/31906\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/papundits.wordpress.com\/31906\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/papundits.wordpress.com\/31906\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/papundits.wordpress.com\/31906\/\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=papundits.wordpress.com&#038;blog=174708&#038;post=31906&#038;subd=papundits&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2010 Olympic Games closing ceremony at Vancouver, BC The flags of the competing countries are raised as athletes walk past during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games closing ceremony at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada, 28 February 2010.
