Hi hi!
Just a quick update from a friend’s computer, as mine has been in the shop and likely will be for at least another week or so. One of the downsides to living in Yellowknife, it turns out, is that when your laptop needs repairs you have to send it to Edmonton in the mail and then hope that one of your friends happens to be going that way not too long afterwards. Kind of brutal.
I’ve been taking lots of audio, some from a concert with the Da Visha Jazz Ensemble, some storytelling with a fascinating elderly couple living off the grid in the bush near Blackstone Park, NT. Unfortunately I’m a bit short on resources until my laptop gets back, so it’s a bit problematic sharing this stuff until then.
There’s been some pretty exciting stuff happening though, backing up the wonderful Tina Roy at the Hay Days Festival in Hay River this weekend, and singing with YK Transfer, an a cappella jazz quartet at Folk on the Rocks. More details to come, I just didn’t want people to think that I’d suddenly gotten swallowed by a pickerel or something. For more frequent updates in the meantime, or especially if you enjoy photos of life in Yellowknife and the rest of the NT, please follow me on twitter.
Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine!
