Laurence plays violin and electric mandolin in several bands playing in a variety of styles. So far he has played traditional folk, electric Celtic, flamenco, experimental electronica, prog rock, jazz-rock fusion and African music. He'd like to add to his resume in this regard.
Sorry i scared you but sometimes we do have those dark days where you feel unwanted and unappreciated, and if you don't say anything and keep inside. it eats you up like yesterday's you know what:)
I guess you know the people at Guelph festival. I played there with Maggie Nicols - a release on Ayler Records is coming out within days - and I think it's time I came back to play.
Hey Laurence,how are you? Hows Cobourg? We are close to buying a place in Prince Edward county. We have seen 11 properties so far so we are just finalizing the offer. We could be almost neighbours!
Thanks for the contact, mate. Don't know why I didn't think of doing it myself. If you haven't done so already, check out my links to a couple of ensembles I'm in; Tidal Pool (we recently got played in Oz and France), and NOiNO.
Good to hear from you. Hope I can make it out to the new place sometime.
Laurence, You must be a seer! Less than a minute after I was listening to and appreciating your "The Inuit Speaks" I received your friend request. Eldad

Great to see you on MySpace. Maybe we could see each other in real life in the new year. Speaking of which, I wish you a great year with a lot of music, friends and fun. You are an inspiration to everyone who knows you.
