A big thank you to those who have been inquiring about my whereabouts following Showcase PEI. I am back in BC, though with mixed feelings on leaving the island after meeting so many very good people and knowing they will be left to deal with Fiona. Be safe folks and wishing you the best!
Many thanks to Rob Oakie, his staff and volunteers for your hospitality and developing a brilliant event. It was a pleasure listening to the wonderful music and meeting up with the other delegates. Let's stay in touch but in the meantime, hunker down!!

"House of A Thousand Guitars" 🎼 by the Willie Nile Band 🎸 from their 6th studio album House of A Thousand Guitars released in 2009.
This album comprises a mixture of piano ballads 🎹 and classic rock guitar and is dedicated to the memory of Willie’s brother John.
"Jimmy Hendrix plays all night long in the house of a thousand guitars.
Through a purple haze you can hear the song in the house of a thousand guitars.
When the clock strikes 12 Robert Johnson sings in the house of a thousand guitars.
Neath a delta moon and a worn brass ring in the house of a thousand guitars".
Enjoy.
