Update
The snow has fallen and ice is all around our home. My boys are playing with their friends from down the street and I'm here, writing, with a cup of coffee at my side.
Last year was filled with countless highlights in Scotia Music, and in my own music. A debut album was released with the help of Josh Wagner, Stewart Franck, Patrick Thompson, Alex Buchanan, and Harbourtone Productions at my side. Thank you.
A Cadet Instructor acceptance letter arrived thanks to the push from my bagpiping instructor, Captain Knox. Now, youth in our area will learn music for free through the Cadet program. We also received funding for our local project called, "Musical Friends". It will be expanding to a second spot in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, CA.
2021 has also surprised me with my own bagpiping student, Duncan McAllister, becoming Pipe Sergeant to our local Pipe and Drum Band project, "South Shore Pipes and Drums", and welcoming his drumming friend, Liam Hann, to become our Drum Sergeant. The future is bright!
Most recently, Virtually Mic'd has started up for the winter. It is a little show on our Scotia Music's YouTube channel where I interview some musical friends met throughout the year. They share their happenings as well as updates on what is to come. First one to air January 27. Tremendous thank you to Chester Municipality, the Town of Bridgewater, and the Town of Lunenburg for the funds to ensure we can stay afloat during this time.
The candle is brighter every day, and with that brightness comes a brand new year. 2022.
January has this way of reminding us to slow down, to practice, and to re-evaluate our decisions for the coming year. This year will be dedicated to recording a new album at Harbourtone Productions, as well as organizing our new subsidized musical programs, to private music lessons, and to being with family.
This musical dream has led to to many friendships all around the world--just like you--and I thank you for being part of this journey.
All upcoming information will be found in my notebook, but if you wish to hear first-hand, please join in by subscribing below.
I love you all so much, and you all are with me every day.
Sincerely,
