Bluebird Round 1

So, the Bluebird shows in Edmonton and Calgary were really great. I have photos coming. I really think the line up for the shows was amazing and I had so much fun with everyone. We did a lot of on-stage jamming on each others tunes and I tried a few different songs each night. I did Still Desire, Good Gifts, You Do The Math and Back to L.A. on the first night and then I added in I Can't Take My Eyes Off You and Goliath on the second night. It's fun playing stuff I don't normally play all alone. I have had to learn tunes on guitar that I usually play violin or bass on. It's very intimate. Pictures coming. . .I'm back in Toronto now for a few days before the next show in Ottawa and today I'm off to work on a new play by award winning playwrites Paul Ledeux and David Young. It's called Still Desire You and it features the music of. . .well. . .me. I'm very excited about this project. My band will be on hand today for a workshop and public reading with music. Also actors. . .Michael Riley (Wonderland) in the starring role, David Keely, Graham Harley, Larry Yakamic to mention a few with Ted Dykstra directing. Update and pictures coming later. . .
