Happy Thanksgiving!!
Giving comes in many shapes and sizes; I usually think financial when I hear the word "give" but giving of yourself, your time, your talents is a way only you can...give.  Hope you are encouraged to live out what you have inside and offer it to the world!  
A friend of mine gave me a bookmark with a great quote on it, so with this I say Happy Thanksgiving!
"Real progres is progress in compasion.  All other advances are secondary."   

Yesterday Chris and I drove home from Regina after playing a great show at a Brewery called "Bushwakker's" with local artist Ariel Mura.  We drove straight there and straight back...or that's what were were hoping for.  We hit the craziest elecrical storm I've ever driven through in my life!  It was like a strobe light went off in heaven and the sky was constantly lit up and thunder roared over our diesel engine and shook our little Jetta!  Then huge pieces of hail came flying from the sky and the storm followed us for our entire 6, I mean 8 hr. drive home...I usually love storms, and I did until the hail hit.  I felt so small in our little car, so helplessly at the mercy of the angry sky above.  I was incredibly thankful for shelter and my bed when I got home...have you ever been in a scarry storm?  I know this was nothing compared to the natural disasters that hit other parts of the world and leave people completely devistated; without shelter and sometimes without loved ones.  It put into perspective how good we have it hear in Canada...we have it so good...
When we were driving home we had to take a detour onto a dirt road past this stretch of highway that the cops had sectioned off.  A big bus was in the middle of it all, but we didn't know what was going on so we just kept driving.  Ironically as I write about how thankful I am to be home safe and sound, the news is covering a story about this bus we past.  Turns out a guy was sitting at the back of this bus listening to music on his headphones and the guy sitting next to him pulled out a knife, stabbed the guy and decaptitated him.  He then brought his head to the front of the bus and all hell broke loose!  This is not a joke...I guess no matter where you live humans are all a little crazy...a lot crazy.  I'll post a link to this story asap!!

Its been an amazing experience watching my songs take shape!  In December and February we recorded 10 songs for the record here in Winnipeg.  Colin Munroe flew in from Toronto to produce, along with Stuart Cameron to play guitars.  In the middle of winter what else are you going to do?!  
I just got back from a trip to Nashville to record two tracks; "Cry for the last time" and "I live for you".  Adrian Bradford produced held down production duties, and invited some amazing musicians to play.  I got up the nerve to play piano along with the band which was a growing experience for me...but good!   This month we're doing new photo's and I'm brainstorming on album titles...this is tougher than I thought!!
