Stairway to …. a great time.

Man we had a great time. This is the 20th year Jim has put this seminar together. I think I taught at about 4 over the years. Some are familiar faces I’ve known over those past 20 years. They have since become professional Stick players themselves. I’m always blown away at the progression of players over the two decades. Tom (on my left) also taught this seminar with me and WOW what a fantastic educator he is and a Phenomenal player. Heck “I” learned a lot.

This house was like a mansion with I think 9 bedrooms, Jacuzzi, giant kitchen and lots of …. rooms. So we taught in several of them. Beautiful neighborhood and surrounding grounds. A delightful 4 day event.

We performed 6 shows over the 3 nights at a fantastic club/restaurant. Gourmet food Wow that was nice. Before leaving for Canada I mentioned online that I learned Canadian so I could sing in their language. I got some great responses, like: Where the songs in the key of Eh? and we’re very soarry about that”. Loved it.

Don is short for “Don-uts!”

No Canadian trip would be complete without some Tim Horton and Lee’s donuts. Yes I had both. I needed to keep my strength up for possible luggage problems later!!!!
