Thank you lord Jesus. I am so excited for this warmer weather… can’t really take another day of trekking through snowy streets… they don’t plow the sidewalks in Toronto, I used to think living in St. John’s was bad in the winter time… anyway, no more complaints from me as long as I can put away my winter boots!! In the meantime, Easter is one of my favorite “holidays” In my family we go to the Sugar bush; sleigh rides, maple toffee & a great brunch feed in the middle of nowhere Quebec, then we all head over to some family members house (whoever doesn’t mind cleaning up the mess!!) We paint Easter eggs & eat tonnes of chocolate, then the next day we all get together for a major home made waffle breakfast… it’s truly scrumptious!! But not this year, this year I was here in the big city, being taken care of by some GREAT Toronto people… most of whom are from the East coast, Cape Breton & Newfoundland… thanks my new (& old) friends… also, a big thanks to the great Geoff Berner… please, if you haven’t seen this man LIVE, you have to go. He’s on tour in Europe now, so wait ’til he gets back, I promise you will not be disappointed. In the meantime, have a listen to 1010 talk radio www.cfrb.com tonight at 6pm. Also, get ready for an awesome gig next Monday at The Supermarket in Toronto… featuring Myself, Dave Gaudet, Meredith

So the weather is finally thawing… now that the days are longer, and spring is close… ooh laa laa… things just feel better!! Thankfully!! As for the continuation of my CMW rants… Seeing bands perform from all over the world makes one realize how music REALLY IS the universal language… Ireland, Australia, Toronto, Vancouver… having the pleasure to share the stage with such talent as “Sick of Sarah” a great chick band from the States… definitely check them out!! I had the pleasure of meeting with some great music execs, had a chance to chat with Terry McBride, who was just inducted into The Canadian Music Hall of fame… I saw Moby interviewed aswell; when asked the top 4 things he would do if it was the last day on earth, he replied: eat burritos, play Led Zeppelin covers, drink cheap beer & make sweet Love…on another note, I may be heading over to Germany to play!! What a rush… I can’t wait until next year… In the meantime, I have some great things happening here in Toronto…besides having an abundance of performances to listen in on, great food around every corner, a gym membership, gigs to prepare for and an irish session to play in, I have a song-writer night to organize.. This takes place at The Supermarket (in kensington maket) on the last Monday of every month… so stay tuned for all the great artists who will make the roster… the first show is on the 31st of March featuring: Myself, Ron Leary, Meredith Luce & Dave Gaudet. You won’t be disappointed!! Talk soon, Moi xox

Hello Darling people out there… HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I think 2008 is going to be Wunderbar…. New Year’s Eve was awesome, I had the pleasure of dancing along to the Sunparlour Players & The Hilotrons & Jet Planes of Abraham… ALL talented “I can’t believe they’re not famous yet” bands…
So onto some SUPERB news…it pleases me to announce that The Ottawa Citizen has once again put it’s faith in me & has added my Album “sound” to their Best Canadian Albums of 2007 list, in 2nd place!!! Between Feist’s “Reminder” & Blue Rodeo’s “Small Miracles”…
Also, my song “Bloodstream” came 2nd in a line of Great Canadian Songs for 2007…
Things are looking up!!
This morning, the first phone call that I received in 2008 was from Bermuda, Bermuda called to ask me if I wanted to play a gig in the summer… so an island gig on the Sea awaits…
Have a great SUPER year everyone & I promise I will keep singing…
Love
Lindsay
