Tales from the road

This was my second year playing at the FREX. Last year I received a call asking if I would accompany the Bonnie Kilburn Dancers during the stage shows. I had a lot of fun and was delighted to get the call again this year. During the week we did 11 shows in 6 days. Last […]

Today was our last full day in Montreal as tomorrow we hit the road and head back to Fredericton. This was the day that we went shopping, much to the delight of many of the students. Luckily for me, a group wanted to go to Archambault, a fabulous music store, so I got to take […]

As mentioned yesterday, I know live in the country. That fact was emphasized to me last night as I lay in bed trying to fall asleep. Even though I used to live in a basement apartment in the McGill ghetto and sleep through the partiers heading to and from St-Laurent, I am now used to […]

Registration was quite smooth, although I did end up with a conference pass instead of an artist pass. Right after signing in, I ran into Kathleen Gorey-McSorley, […]
