Well, since everyone else seems to be setting up Frappr maps to find out where their listeners are, why shouldn’t I?
I would appreciate it if you could tag my Frappr Map with your name, location and even a picture.
And… no… I wouldn’t jump off a building if everyone else did.
Edmund Sprunger is a violin teacher and Registered Teacher Trainer with the Suzuki Association (Suzuki School in Ottawa). His new book, Helping Parents Practice: Ideas for Making it Easier, Volume 1 (yespublishing.com), is a great tool for a parent of any music student.
I’m in Halifax this week, and last night went to The Lower Deck with a colleague to check out an extremely popular band called Signal Hill – originally from Newfoundland (hence the name) it now calls Halifax home.
The performance to a packed house (on a Sunday???) consisted exclusively of covers and was incredibly energetic. Original songs by the band can be found on its CD, Sepia Tones.
Signal Hill is in Ottawa from November 17-19 at Grace O’Malley’s (East).

It was an incredible experience to speak with Canadian veterans of World War II and the Korean War today, before and after the Remembrance Day ceremonies at the Cenotaph in Ottawa. Some of the highlights are included in this show – many are not because the interviews were too emotional and personal for those with whom I spoke.
Special thanks to Bruce Murray, Bob Goyetche and Dr. Peter Chen for fulfilling last minute contribution requests.

I made a post a few days ago to invite podcasters and podcast listeners in the Halifax area to meet up with me on Sunday, November 13 (original post). The meetup has been cancelled due to a lack of interest.
