As a kind reader pointed out the link I had put up for the podcast sure did link you to a CBC podcast of the “The World This Weekend”. It just so happened I linked it to the wrong one. I have fixed the previous link and here it is again. CBC PODCAST. Thanks for the heads up!

Come on people, no comments? Your going to make me think you don’t like us. OK, not really but don’t make me resort to making aliases and comments on my own posts. People have told me that they like the blog and they find it fun to read, well you could also say it in the comments so that other people know. SPREAD THE WORD! Tell me what concerts you have seen, what your favorite song is and think of it, you won’t just be telling me you will be telling the world that you are a true blue fan! I know you’re out there.

Yes, that’s right. It was us you heard on CBC Radio the other day! This past Saturday a short radio documentary was aired on CBC Radio on there program “The World This Weekend.” When I say short I mean short it was just over 4 minutes. To be quite honest I have no clue how they managed to trim down all the interviews and pack so much into 4 minutes, but it was pretty cool for us. Last month when we were at a performance at Rosseau one of the CBC Radio producers came prepared to get info and sound bites to put this thing together. If you missed it you can listen to it here or download it from iTunes. If you go to iTunes look for the podcast of The World This Weekend Saturday August 20, 2011. It’s a 30 minute program and our clip is near the end. After you have heard it leave me a comment and let me know how you think it turned out.

I know it’s been awhile since I have last written. I don’t have a lot of time right now since we are getting ready to head to Belleville for Canada Day. I got to run but I thought I would at least say hi. I hope I packed everything!

PS. I think Will & Kate are really going to miss out on their tour of Canada. They should have scheduled a stop in Belleville to see us If you agree leave a comment and tell me what you think.

It’s been a little bit since we did the Sprucedale performance, but I thought I would let you know how it went. The new community centre is nice. Amazing acoustics! Go figure a square room with no sound dampening (well I suppose all the people there helped with that!) and it sounded GREAT! You could really here the middle section, the altos, guitars, and cellos. Sometimes their sound gets lost in everything or maybe I should say they blend a little too well. It really sounded good all the hard work that we have been doing this winter is paying off. Sometimes it is hard for me to tell because I hear it everyday so I don’t notice the difference. So it was nice to be able to hear the improvement. When you sweat over the details and we are talking tiny, tiny detail 1/16th of a beat it feels good to hear it sound so good and to see people enjoying it. The audience was great and there was a group of fiddlers who were also performing that really got into it. I didn’t get a chance to take that many pictures or that good of ones LOL, but here’s what I got.
