Title
Myron Sutton and the Canadian Ambassadors
Description
Picture of Myron Sutton and his Bands “The Canadian Ambassadors” posing for their picture wearing high end suits and looking extremely professional. Clothing was always a conscious choice in how others would view these musicians and them wearing the expensive suits speaks to how seriously they demand to be treated. Their choice in name is also incredibly important and “Canadian Ambassadors” makes the definitive claim that they are in fact Canadians and will be treated and respected as such, receiving the same rights and opportunities as any other citizen. When seen only on paper, their name could also opened more opportunities for hiring as it makes no distinction of race only national pride.
