We're having a ball in the Gatineau woods, as always - meeting some old friends and enjoying a wonderful show at the Black Sheep Inn (here's a pic of me with the Black Sheep proprietor, the hard-working Mr. Paul Symes). I tried out some of the new songs on the Black Sheep audience and they went down a treat. Ive been working hard on some new tunes, and getting a few half-finished things tied up, and generally making plans for being back in the studio later in the year.

Two of our best friends in the area, Warren and Marilyn Major, have organised a house concert for this Friday, at their beautiful 200-year-old farmhouse down in Chelsea, so that should be a lot of fun. We'll take some pictures. I'll be joined in song by Phil Jenkins, a talened writer and journalist who also has some great stories and songs.

Apart from that, it's been fun and games with the nephews, lots of swimming and paperbacks and some barbecue action. Bliss. I took my wristwatch off on the day I arrived and I haven't seen it since. For those of you who are friends on Facebook, there are a few extra pictures posted up there, too...
