'heartBEAT'
explores the emotionally rocky terrain of growing up - from
teenager
to middleager, from childhood to parenthood...
Hi everybody,
I just wanted to let everyone on the list know that we video taped
a concert that I gave on Int. Women's Day at Bloor Street United here in
Toronto. The concert was with three other players: Michael Calladine, my
step-son (he of "Baby Boomers Go Boom") on back-up vocals and
percussion;
Neil Chapman on guitars and Eric Terreau on keyboards.
We taped the whole evening with two cameras (broadcast quality)
and
then I worked with a director friend, Luc Iogna of Mixed Company to edit
a
collection of excerts together to make a 28 minute showcase of my work.
I had just come back from over three weeks of school and community
concerts up in the Yukon and BC and the feedback that I got was that my
CD
demo (with the full band recording) didn't accurately reflect the warmth
and humour of my concerts. It seemed that it was best to invest the money
from the tour into something that could save me a few thousand words of
description every time someone asks.
Luc and I are shaping the evening into a show called 'heartBEAT'
-
which 'explores the emotionally rocky terrain of growing up - from teenager
to middleager, from childhood to parenthood...' The idea of the video is
to spread the word and to dig up some opportunities for concerts. To that
end, if any of you out there would like to have a look at it, send me a
note and I can loan a copy out to you.
Thanks for your time, Bill
