Host you for two weeks [ minimum ] in Montreal; to include, wandering around the Biodome [ beavers! penguins! piranhas! bats! sturgeon ! sloth ! database-designing porcupines! ], wandering around the Botanic Gardens given it being the right time of year, looking around the Musee de Beaux Arts [ very pretty non-European stuff of wide origin, including some amazing Inuit art ], looking at a couple of cool churches [ three-quarter scale reproduction of Notre Dame cathedral, main space done in Laura Ashley Gothic, rear chapel unbelievably Mithraic ], wandering around the trendy bits of the Plateau looking in all the second-hand CD shops, eating in lots of cool places [ multi-course three-hour Japanese, Peruvian, Russian if it's the cold part of the year, combinatorial Italian in the Village, jazz-infested steakhouse, maple ice-cream, tiny little BYOB French places, local Chinese and Italian where they know me by sight.. ] and most likely some theatre, given the likelihood of good theatre in any random two weeks here.

Oh, crikey, sorry! I had forgotten. (I remember now that I was supposed to be doing an introduction to folk for CRB, too. Why do people see me as some sort of authority? I just 'know what I like', and bluff a lot.)
Dunno if I'm more advanced, I've discovered more jazz that I like, but I'm still hopelessly insecure about whether I'm listening to the right jazz, so I don't feel like I'm in a position to educate other people. I mean, basically the first rule of jazz is that you're not allowed to understand it unless you play it, and even then it's not something you can learn, it's just a gift from the Gods of Infinite Cool. Beyond that, y'know, I could just do you a tape of the stuff I like.
Or I might ask my dad for help.
