A group of local musicians led by Blue Rodeo’s Greg Keelor have again collaborated virtually in a heart-warming music video released by Fleming College.
The college is dedicating the holiday video – a cover of “What A Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong – to Fleming College students and staff as well as frontline workers and others who have come together during the pandemic.
In April, Fleming College released a music video featuring local musicians, including Greg Keelor, performing a cover of Blue Rodeo’s “Lost Together”. That video was created to support the college’s COVID-19 Student Emergency Fund as well as the Peterborough Musicians’ Benevolent Association (PMBA), which helps local musicians in times of financial need.
Directed and produced by Michael Hurcomb with co-producers James McKenty, Melissa Payne, and Kate Suhr, the cover of “What A Wonderful World” features musicians Greg Keelor, Jimmy Bowskill, Beau Dixon, Whitney Hall, James McKenty, Melissa Payne, Kate Suhr, and Fleming College president Maureen Adamson.
“These musicians are very special people and our community is blessed to have such passionate talent,” Adamson says. “I could not be more proud of how we have led and navigated through the events of this year with safety as our guiding principle.”

“My wish for everyone that watches this video is that they are reminded of the importance of friends, family and community, and that this inspires optimism for a wonderful 2021,” Adamson adds. “We have every reason to be hopeful.”
The video includes special appearances by Tania Clerac, Sandra Dupret, Brett Goodwin, Chandra Gupta, Blake Morris, Angela Pind, Linda Poirier, Neil Price, Elizabeth Stone, Drew Van Parys, and Scott Walling.
