It's my last night here in Toronto. The conference is over, and I'm antsy to be heading home...I'm such a homebody, and it's time to sleep in my own bed. I love my little world, and I miss it!
The CWF Walk for Wishes is coming up this Saturday. I've been happy to have had the opportunity to support the Wish Foundation on several occasions over the past couple of years, and will once again be playing at this years event. I'm really looking forward to this year's event, because it's given me a chance to reunite musically with Keith Haddad for this year's performance. Many people will remember Keith from his years playing with "Double Eagle", but for myself Keith is a longtime friend who was instrumental in both my learning to play the guitar (although I don't know how much he'd like to burden the blame for that, as even after all these years I'm a pretty limited guitar player) , but also in encouraging me always to continue with my writing. It's likely been a dozen years since we've had the opportunity to play together, but in practice, it all just came together as naturally as ever, and man, his picking skills make me sound so much better! It's been a great reminder of how wonderful it is to have gifted people in your life who are willing to share their gifts and talents to support you to pursue you're own passions. I'm looking forward to playing on the weekend, and who knows, maybe more opportunities will present themselves.
We're also going to be busy this week getting ready for the next Home Routes House Concert, which will be taking place next Thursday, October 18th. This month we'll be hosting Chuck Suchy, who I've heard nothing but good things about! We're really looking forward to the evening, and I think our first guests, John and Michelle Law, were such great ambassadors for the project, that everyone on the circuit is fired up for what's to come.
Better run. I'm off bed, because after the flight home, I'm off to school and exams! What a crazy, diverse life I have the pleasure of leading!!
Till next time
