Nothing excites me like discovering new music, especially new music from an old favourite. Listen to "Isolation" by John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band.

I can't talk about it, so I won't. Directly... my heart has been drawn to the northwest passage of late, towards an unknown destination.
My daughter is so pumped for this again this year! She is doing ticket taking.
Lots of great bands and workshops....
Do they fly from one side of Toronto to the other too?
MacKay misses announcement...
TERESA WRIGHT
The Guardian
Peter MacKay wasn't on hand to cut the ribbon, nevertheless the Canada Games facilities planned for Charlottetown are well underway and are in full construction mode thanks to funding from various levels of government and UPEI.
Despite clear, sunny blue skies on Saturday afternoon, MacKay, the federal minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agnecy (ACOA) wasn't able to make it to P.E.I. for the official announcement of federal dollars earmarked for the games. MacKay was stuck in Nova Scotia due to technical difficulties with his chartered airplane.
This brought some measure of disappointment to the crowd of politicians and athletes present for the funding announcement. The group had gathered Saturday in the parking lot at UPEI in Charlottetown under a beating 26 degree sun.
"I'm not sure whether his plane really did have a flat tire or whether he's just a lot smarter than the rest of us and he's sitting by the pool or on a golf course," Premier Robert Ghiz joked to the audience before his official address.
The press conference went on as scheduled, however, with ACOA vice president Pat Dorsey pinch-hitting for MacKay.
"(MacKay) was to be here this afternoon, I can assure you Premier he's not on the golf course or beside a pool," Dorsey told the crowd.
"He was on a plane in Trenton, Nova Scotia, tried to take off twice, but because of mechanical difficulties could not be here."

Charlottetown could learn a thing or two about their promotions Dept.
I would love to see some of the smaller bands playing here....
PM me please......thank you!...
The biggest athletic event in the country is coming to P.E.I. in a just over a year, and there's no better proof of the work being done to prepare for this than to drive by UPEI.
I'm big on sharing and am happy to have something today that a client shared with me that I looked into and decided that it was good stuff.
If you're interested in learning more about marketing and how to do anything business related by yourself, check out this resource from a gentleman named Brad Sugars. A prospective client who hails from Australia shared his name with me and recommended I visit his site. And so I am passing it along!
The e-books on the site are easily down-loadable, cover a wide array of topics and offer great fundamental marketing and business basic how-to's. Enjoy.
