Leanne Goose is a songstress from the north who pours her passion into her music that resonates from the heart of the MacKenzie Delta. She is a proud Inuvialuit and Dene woman who was born and raised in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, a place she still calls home.
Country and Blues are at the core of her creative genius, but creating music wasn’t just something she was taught, it was something she was born with.
Her gift was nurtured by her father, the legendary Louie Goose whose iconic career spans 25 years. Her dad recounts memories of his daughter, singing an old Patsy Cline tune into a willow, toy guitar at her hip, to a sold out crowd of stuffed animals. It wasn’t long before Leanne garnered the attention of a live audience, joining her father on stage at the age of 12.
Artistic influences were prevalent in Leanne’s early years and include a roster of music greats like Hank Williams and Ma Rainey and of course the ever present voice of the arctic winds.
Today, she still carries her stories of living and loving life above the Arctic Circle that she weaves into powerful melodies with brazen lyrics. They’ve carried her across the country and into the US where she shares her music through the intimacy of acoustic styling or energetic full band performances.
Leanne is an eclectic entertainer whose range of music genres is not limited to Country and Blues. Comfortable in any scenario, Leanne has rocked the big stage and achieved recognition throughout the music industry for her versatility and soulful vocals.
Hi. Miss y’all. Been a total crap fall. It all started when an owl flew at my head.
Thought I’d check in. Hope everybody’s doing well.
xo
Hi, lucky. More details about the owl and you, please.
Hello Miss Maloo
I hope things get better soon
Hello Benoit
did you get all of the chainsaw work done?
Hi BfO. Barred owl flew at my head as I walked up to the house. Everyone’s right, they are silent flyers. I screeched & ducked then promptly apologized as it flew off. Next day i discovered the bank lowered my line of credit without telling me for no reason (according to credit bureau). Then our well pump died, $3k later the new one died. No running water for 2weeks with teenage hockey & football playing boys…then we found the furnace is dead, we have wood back up heat but will address it asap. I’ve had sciatica since the end of October & can’t work at my new job waiting tables. Mike hit a deer (he’s ok) & the car got written off & insurance co gave us less than we still owed & a throw in a stomach flu….
BUT Mike is ok, water is running, my health is gradually improving & today we pick up a ’13 Honda Fit which is (I hope!) a better car than our mazda2 so, all is evening out. Knock on wood. Poopoopoo. •spits.
: )
Hi Garfy! : )
Holy Hell!
I mean GOOD MORNING!
Yow. A bad couple of months is a large understatement. I hope things keep on working well for spell. (What’s with your well pumps, anyway? Was your new pump guaranteed?)
A bad couple of months is an understatement, all right! I hope that everything stays working, and everyone stays healthy! It’s nice to see you back and checking in though, Lucky!
It looks like my bedtime reading is sorted

Thanks for today’s post, Garfield, I’m excited to listen to Leanne Goose this evening!
your post has an extra “rel =” on the end that’s messing it up, Garf

@Krib, after your Whisk(e)y comments of last week I thought you might find this interesting
Why is Celtic pronounced Seltic rather than Keltic, as it is in every other context?
garf, 6;51, I enjoyed it.
So in sum, what’s “right” depends on where you choose to fix its “origin”.
Hey! Thanks for the well wishes folks! Getting the car tomorrow because the school buses were canceled due to a bit of rain : /
I’ll try to check in more often now that I don’t risk frying my devices with streams of tears! ; )
that was interesting. I had assumed it was because it was a word of Gaelic origin, and the ‘c’ is always a hard sound in Gaelic, regardless of the letter following it
ex: ciamar a tha thu? (kee-am-ar a ha hoo) = how are you?
there seem to be fewer exceptions to the soft c after i or e rule than there are to the soft g
To be fair, luckymaloo, there was supposed to be freezing rain. We’ve gotten some here in the valley, matter o’ fact there’s been a 12-car accident in the east end of the Queensway. And weather people, especially the official ones at Enviro-Can, always err on the side of caution.
I say “CIA” should be pronounced “kia”. (Not, not ky-ay. Keeya)
I thought CIA was what a Canadian with poor grammar asking if they are visible would say
See I, eh
@”lucky”maloo – I have had strings of bad luck like that. Why the hell does the universe have to dump a pile of shit on you all at once?! I hope that is the end of all the crap now. *hugs*
good morning folks.
Hiya morgana!
Hi Morgana!
I have a question from my secret santa! tee hee:)
Hi Morgana, I don’t think my Secret Santa has ever asked me a question
Good day Garry, it is probably because I did not provide much info on my Elster account.
PS please resend blueberry white chocolate cookie recipe … I am not your Secret Santa though.
hey there durbar and janet!
eep, look at the time! I have boring grocery shopping to do but when I come back with it all I will listen to Leanne Goose during the unloading process … and then tear off to chiro and then work.
@Morgana, If I was your Secret Santa I would just arrange for Gin to be delivered
I think it was this one

I just read that Joel Plaskett is going on tour with his dad in support of an upcoming album. How cool is that?
Thompson/Tom Wilson is cooler.
@Russ, I had to look that one up, also cool!
I read that this morning as well Janet and that they will be coming to Regina. Nice.
@Janet – If they come your way, do not miss.
@Russ, I’ll have to check to see if the DC/Northern Virginia area is on their schedule
Phew! dog walk to store, shopping and unloading … I think I will need a nap before going to work.
but first to see if Joel Plaskett is coming this way with his Dad; that is cool:)
@garfielduk I don’t think that is the recipe but it looks even better to me.
I am hoping that j@ustingrady makes it here for a ski trip/gin drop this winter … that would be a most excellent not so secret santa gift:)
I am getting butterflies. Tonight is a dress rehearsal in front of a small audience and tomorrow is the show opener of the play. Ack!
So excited for you Darbar! Break a leg tonight (and for the regular shows this week!)
Thanks Janet! 😀
butterfly’s are good! when life is dull and there is no need for them that is bad! in my opinion anyway. so, let the butterfly’s flutter, feel alive and have fun:)
