Nickels, Full Decks, Fun, and Guitar's!

There is music, and then there is music. There are guitar players, and then there are guitar players, and then comes along something else. And in this case it was Montréal Guitare Trio

This weekend we left our rock and ventured to another rock a few hours up the coast. I know seems silly to head north this time of year, and then to another island, why?

It was Ian's double nickel, that's why, and since we both live with full decks, it was the "right" thing to do. We arrived in the middle of a party with a few select (didn't want to scare us off) locals (of course, they're just like our locals, just with different postal codes) so it was like we never left home. Judith entertained them with tall tales, while as usual I just barely kept up with her!

The next day, after an epic stroll through the forest and along the shoreline, we ended up at Martha & Gordon James for tea! Good thing, as it was tea time, and you know what happens to tea junkies if they miss three o'clock tea time! Gord was a gracious host and made sure we all got our tea fix. It is obvious that the James have very good taste, just being friends with Carol and "old whats his name" tells one that, but then we noticed an original Elaine Savoie which proves with out a doubt they in fact have exquisite taste. I would have liked to hang out with Gord more as he plays the sousaphone, which would go well with my new trumpet, however we had to keep moving to make the Montréal Guitare Trio show on time.

As I was saying, there is music, and then there is music. There are guitar players, and then there are guitar players, and then comes along something else. And in this case it was Montréal Guitare Trio The best part about music on the islands, is the venues are only so big. In this case we sat front and centre, and what a show! Get off your couch and on-line to check when MG3 is coming to your town, you will not be disappointed. I am sure I have now seen the finest three players our country has to offer. They took us side to side and from one end to the other and back again. Unbelievable!
