Dreams of Grey # 1 on National Chart!
Hi all. Well, it's official. Dreams of Grey just hit # 1 on the
National Aboriginal Top 30 this past weekend. This Nationally
Syndicated programs ensures that we're being played right across the
country which is pretty cool.
We had a great time at the Folk
Fest this past weekend. I think the shows went pretty well. The
highlight for me was the show in the Chapel which literally is an old
church hall. The acoustics were amazing and the room had a wonderfull
natural reverb to it that made it really special.
I was out
on my boat all day yesterday driving a camera crew from APTN around.
They are shooting a documentary on the Tribal Journey this year. I
felt very lucky to be play a small role in this powerful event and was
able to visit each canoe on the water as we filmed their progress. One
setup that really stuck on on my mind occured with the camera set up on
a point of land called Octopus point. The crew filmed as the canoes
paddled right past the point. It was very moving to think that travel
such as this was commonplace in the not too distant past. It is truely
special to see such a rebirth of these long ocean canoe voyages here on
the coast.
The North American Indigenous Games also promises to be very busy and I'll be sure to keep you posted on all the events.
Also, if you are a regular follower or a one-time visitor, please be sure to cast your votes in the Aboriginal People's Choice Music Awards this year!!!! We're up in 6 categories.
