Tragically Hip took it to another level

Re: “Hip prepares for big, brave and bold farewell,” July 21. As I often was back in the 1980s, I was at Harpo’s Cabaret for the Tragically Hip’s first Canadian tour. At the time, they were the best bar band I’d seen, taking it to another level, and have since become a national treasure.

I encourage everyone to check out their timeless and distinctly Canadian tunes. Brendan Watkins Victoria
