Today on my way to Banff to play on Tunnel Mountain tomorrow morning. Kyle Brenders has gone camping with his family and won’t be back in time to join me, which is too bad because I was so looking forward to a rowdy duo at this location.
I decided to drive through the Columbia Icefields to toot a bit of my clarinet at the foot of the glacier. I was there for the first time in 1984. The glacier has receded by so many meters since that you can’t even see the glacier from the 1982 marker, in comparison to the 1992 marker. The rate of melting has increased by several meters when you compare the distance between these two markers and the the distance between previous decades Global warming? Most likely…
BUT…
An engine warning light turned on as I arrived in Jasper! The closest mechanic repair shop is way back in Hinton, where I left from this morning! First hiccup of the trip after more than 3500 kms…Dennis Mazur, expert mechanic, fixed Lazio and got him purring like a kitten!!! I did end up stopping at the Icefields for a short video.
on other fronts;
I did a fun interview for Radio-Canada. Here’s the link;
