As I’m working my way through Manitoba and Saskatoon, I can’t help but reminisce about the last week, at how wonderful it is to see old friends, play and share music with folks who have not heard anything “live” in weeks!
I am thrilled to be performing duos with the ever so creative singer Helen Pridmore this evening in the park w/ sculpture/statue installations just off a walking trail on the U of Sask campus. Its behind the Education building. Please come say hi and listen to our duo premiere if you’re in town!
