Sick Kids Car Rally

I was asked to participate in a car rally a few weeks ago. The idea was that people would bid on the chance to drive a cool car and the top bidders would pick their "celebrity " to ride in the car and do the rally with them.
My friend who invited me informed me that I was one of the "celebrities". Glad she told me cause I woulda been looking all around otherwise . . .watching for the celebrities which included Goldie Hawn ( love her) , the guy who played Carlton on Fresh Prince ( Alonzo. . .that guy who can sing really well and is super funny) and Curtis Josephs ( former Leaf's goalie who had his picture taken with my date Emilie-Claire Barlow!) to name only a few.

Luckily someone picked me early on in the "draft pick " and i got to ride with a great team the following day. We went all over Toronto and did some pretty silly stuff but the highlight was finding out at the end of the day that over $1,000,000 was raised during the weekend for cancer research at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. Not bad.

so much fun

What a great few weeks in the Maritimes. Thank you to all who came out to the shows in Truro, Guysborough, Halifax and Charlottown. It sure was a fun time. I enjoyed so much, doing what I love to do and this show we're doing now is very satisfying. Mike and Creighton are brilliant and they give me all the room to play all the instruments I wanna play , and sing and showcase the new album and also go back and do songs from albums I released 5 , 10 and 15 years ago. I'm proud of all that work and the many ,many songs and it was just a great couple a weeks.
