Several years ago, before I really played guitar or wrote music, I made a trip to London with my brothers. After hours of strumming over cobblestone streets between the Eye and the Bridge, we came across the original Hard Rock Cafe and decided to wander in. There was a man standing on the swirling carpet holding a rope in front of the stairs, he told us there was a museum tour in five minutes. He took just me and my brothers down to a place called 'The Valt.' A tiny room full of stuff owned by rock stars; John Lennon's jacket and pages from his journal, Elvis Presley's infamous white suit, Wailin' Jennings guitar, dozens or instruments from different musicinas, the room was packed with things like this. He told us we had ten minutes to look around and play stuff if we wanted. So i picked up Bob Dylan's guitar, put on his hat and sat down on Jimi Hendrix's red velvet bench. I put my fingers on what I remember was somewhat of a C chord and strummed my first strum. Half a year later I started playing and writing songs and soon preforming. I like to think that there was some magic in those objects that transfered a little bit of their talent on to me.
The album is available at www.cdbaby.com or in several indepent music record stores in Montreal. Or of course at a show or in person if you are close enough. Pick it up there are alot more songs on it.
