Canadian Country Music Week in Regina

Here we are at day 2 of CCMA celebrations in Regina. It's been wonderful so far. Had a chance to reconnect briefly with Steve Fox, after having met him and Jan in Nashville last year, so that was nice. Also got to meet Donny Parenteau, who is a nicer than nice guy, and heard him perform a new song dedicated to his late Father that is going to be his next release.
This afternoon I attended a songwriter's session that was awesome, and toured around the room with a group that included Gary Fjellgaard. It's so amazing to be so close to people who you've admired for years and years for their craft!
Cecil I appear to have lost at the moment....I stayed for the industry awards, and he had a chance to head to Fan Fest with a really nice couple we met from here in Saskatchewan...so I hope he doesn't get lost on me, because I just don't have time to go and find him!!
Better run ...just seemed important to do an update at this point. The adrenalin is high as are the spirits, so gotta go with it.
We're seeing so many big names in the country music industry everywhere we go, and there are so many nice people. It seems so easy to connect and strike up conversations and friendships when you have the love of music in common.
Well, will post more later....till then...
