Today I woke up to -20 degrees Celcius and realized that winter is definitely alive and well in "The Great White North" of Val David. Now is the time for snow removal, keeping our slow-burnig stove well-stoked, long strolls in the woods and preparations for the coming year. I will be doing a few shows close to home, some more of my school workshop/concert appearances, a mini-tour in Abitabi,QC, another small tour in the Yucatan Peninsula and organizing shows for the spring/summer/fall of 2012.

At the end of August/beginning of September I played on The Magdalen Islands in Cap-aux-meules at a wonderful little theatre called "Pas Perdus". It was another Gerber/Zeller show with, the one and only, Jim Zeller on harmonica.

The West-Coast tour with my daughter, Hannah, was wonderful. Unfortunately, my son, Eli, couldn't come to play guitar with us because he was competing in The Eastern Canadian Taikwon-do championship.

Even though we just had quite the little snowstorm, in general, it is definitely feeling more spring-like here in the Laurentians. I've been writing many new songs and booking shows for Spring/Summer/Fall 2011. On May 2 I'll be leaving for a West-Coast tour with my daughter, Hannah. It all starts with several days of workshop/concerts at the Alex Aitken School and the Quamichan Middle School, both in Duncan, BC.
