Howe s first selection for this edition of CBC s
Music That Matters is Dunn s song,
Charlie. It was written in the late 1960s about Chanie Wenjack, a young boy who died tried to walk home from residential school. In all of the songs I ve heard in my time, and rest assured, I ve heard a great number, this is right up there with the most devastating I ve ever heard.
Howes second selection is a track by Jennifer Castle called
I ll Never Walk Alone. This song is very personal and very emotional, he said. It s a song about never walking alone in life; we re here, there s family, there s community.
