rage on youtube right now. Here's a little blurb on him written by the
CBC here (Canadian Broadcast Corporation)
Using familiar streets and locales — and plenty of snow — a Winnipeg teenager created an homage to his city in a music video that's taking YouTube by [winter] storm.
Sixteen-year-old Sean Quigley, a grade-11 student at Winnipeg's Oak
Park High School, produced, directed and edited the video of his going-viral rock-heavy rendition
of "Little Drummer Boy." Quigley arranged, composed, recorded, mixed
and mastered the song, in addition to playing all the instruments on
the track.

"My dad was a drummer, so he got me into that early," Quigley told the Winnipeg Sun, adding that he began learning to play at age of 4.
"Then I just sort of expanded my music in general, learning
different instruments. A lot was self-taught. There were a few formal
lessons, as well."

"Drummer Boy speaks to me so much," he told CBC News.
"The whole song is a story. It's about this boy who gets word of Jesus
being born and he goes to see him and he doesn't have anything to give
him; he's like 'I don't have money, I don't have gifts to give you. But
I can play my drum and that's more than enough.'"

Many of his YouTube fans are praising the young drummer boy for encouraging a little Canadian pride with his stunning cinematography.
P.S. And you all thought I had no Christmas spirit! How about that snow? Yeah, glad I don't live there but hey, it LOOKS pretty!
