Recent gigs

Friday, November 24 — with Tim Chesterton at Wild Earth Bakery (8902 – 99 Street). This was one coooold night, but Tim and Marcy braved the weather as did Barry and Dawn, and Victor and Nicole, and a few other drop-in patrons of Wild Earth. Thanks to those who came out to listen, and special thanks to Tim for providing the lion's share of the entertainment while I fought against the virus that had its grip on me.

Saturday, November 25 at The Discovery Cafe in the Grant MacEwan Bookstore in City Centre. I performed John Lennon’s Imagine and one of Carrie's compositions, Peace Waltz. This was a very enjoyable gig, with a very appreciative gathering of folks that had a lot of thoughtful ideas on peace, and some very interesting and thought-provoking poetry. I didn't expect to join in the discussion but got involved anyway, and enjoyed the event thoroughly. I look forward to attending the next Discovery Cafe as an audience member.

Monday, November 27 — with Carrie at Second Cup, 34 Avenue and Gateway Blvd. We enjoyed ourselves so much here we didn't even take a break between sets. Very enjoyable gig, we had a lot of fun. Looking forward to the next one.

Friday, December 1 — with Tim at Transcend (9869 – 62 Avenue). Excellent place to play music, drink coffee, and buy really fresh coffee to take home. Tim and I had a very good night, I always enjoy hearing Tim's music and the audience was great. My voice was starting to get back to normal at this gig.
