It's just me, bonar. But I am working on remixes, co-writes and new songs with some very special collaborators. I'll credit everybody who contributes right here. Starting with this:

Theme 4 6 Rings - Production & General Magic provided by Canadian producer, DJ Marlin (in my top friends).

Snowed In- Production by Canadian producer, DJ Marlin

In Your Kitchen - Fiddle by (the astonishing) Canadian multi-instrumental Erynn Marshall (in my top friends), Washboard by Canadian Master Luthier and fingerstyle guitarist, Fabrizio Alberico (in my top friends), brilliant banjo (yes, you can tune these!) by the beautiful Clay Hepburn, backing vocals by those devilishly good singing angels, Acacia and Stephanie Slingerland, Production by Canadian producer, DJ Marlin.

Things We Did - Co-written with and vocals by the incredible singer/songwriter Skye Wallace, organ track (a generous sprinkling of acoustic diamond dust) by the wonderfully sweet Wayne Slingerland, backing vocals feature the lovely and talented Niv, Production by my friend and mentor, Canadian producer, DJ Marlin.

The Moonlight Jamboree (The Title Track) - Piano by the wonderful Miss Berni G, song inspired by the inimitable Cab Calloway, (still dazzling us, Cab, after all these years!) Production by Canadian producer, DJ Marlin.

Something Extra Acoustic Piano by the lovely and brilliant Millie Wood, Rap courtesy of Tha Supafine Oka Production by Canadian producer, DJ Marlin.

The Six Rings

The Six Rings is a weekly PodCast by musician and songwriter bonar from Canada. Click on the iTunes PodCast link below to subscribe. Bonar has developed an "evolutionary" approach to understanding how music works and for mapping that understanding onto guitar and bass - although the basic content pertains to all musicians.

bonar has been playing and writing music in Canada off and on since the 1970's. a guitarist of some renown, he played and wrote rock/jazz/fusion with The Cat's Pyjamas. He has played blues with Backalley John and with The Bullshit Blues Band. He played and wrote original 80's pop/rock with the band GASH. Played bass and helped out arranging with Human Interest. recorded on a dozen odd sessions back in the day. toured Canada a few times.

today he can be found on the left coast of Canada - just inches from Howe Sound.

He is working on the last few tasks of his upcoming CD "The Moonlight Jamboree" and is already at work on a new stream of original material which will be recorded in 2010.

He loves his Epi 335 which he calls "The Red Devil" and his Jay Turser Mosrite knock-off a.k.a. "The Cream Dream".

Hey Champ
Thanks a lot for the kind words. I was really surprised that I was chosen for that radio contest. But it's a great honor to be chosen for a show like Alan Cross's. Even just to be nominated.

Hows life on your end?
