Happy Easter!

Hi ---Happy Easter!  Hope you all had a wonderful holiday spring!  Not spring here we got a foot of snow today here in Longview, AB.  YUK!  I want spring!!!
 I did get a little spring, we took off for 10 days went to the most western coast of Canada, (the end of Canada) right to Tofino, the most western part of Canada.  It was wonderful to see green and smell the ocean breeze, so wonderful to do nothing, eat and drank too much, went for walks every day, drove way too much, visited old and new friends, but good never the less.
 
I have a songwriting gig coming up May 4 in Red Deer, AB. Pretty cool it’s a songwriting circle night, so I am honored to be a part of that!
 
May 2 I am receiving a prize; Le prix CHFA de la chanson albertaine in Edmonton, AB.  I am very honored and humbled by this.  I only have sung the last 20 years to feed my children and because I loved it and wanted to always keep my great grand father Joseph Plamondon’s dream alive; in keeping our heritage and culture alive!  So this is a bonus!
 
In May I start to record a new record!!!
“Torch” I received a grant from Rawlco in Edmonton, AB. to record this.  It has always been a dream of mine to sing “Torch” songs and now I get to record an album also!  I started last March doing shows, and people loved it, and I loved it!  I am so grateful to the Edmonton people for the grant, thank you.  They are truly my peeps!  Thank you to Arthur LaVertu, Mike Bradford, Brandy Jensen, Sandro Dominelli (who will produce it) Mike Lent, Chris Andrew.  I am recording in Edmonton also.  It will be released some time in September. Keep watching my site.
 
Bye for now, see you down the road,,,,,don’t forget to buy, buy, buy my new album “On a Song & a Prayer” and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
Ps thanks Rob G
