Toddish McWong meets George Sapounidis - featured in the CBC tv special "Gung Haggis Fat Choy"

George Sapounidis was the one featured performer in the CBC television special "Gung Haggis Fat Choy" that I hadn't met - until tonight. He is the Montreal-born Greek Canadian who spends most of his time working as a statistican in Ottawa, but remarkably has become a popular Mandarin singer in China, especially popular with the ladies. I immediately found George Sapounidis standing just outside the hallway to the stage dressing rooms. "Todd Wong, wow! Finally..." says George. "George... wow! Finally..." says Todd. I presented him with a Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat team t-shirt. George is thrilled. more »
