If you love guitars, then the Montreal Guitar Show was the place to be. This year's event was held July 3rd, 4th and 5th, at the Palais de Congres in Montreal. David Wren of 12th Fret in Toronto did a wonderful job of capturing the essence of the show. See it (and me !!!) here ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V95lDhc2wnE.
Just before Tommy Emmanuel's show in Montreal last year (we are back again on Aug 20th this year), a kind gentleman captured Tommy giving one of my baritones a whirl after his soundcheck. You can see it here -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYE5e0BpsXg

Bruce Cockburn used his new Karol Baritone to record the track "Peace March" on his new CD, Life Short Call Now. Pictured below is Bruce playing the 2nd encore at the Paradise Theatre in California on August 6th, 2006. He played Peace March for the first time live on tour that night, and ended the show with a baritone version of All the Diamonds.
