Yesterday I learned that there’s an atmospheric effect of ice crystals that create so called Light Pillars. It looks pretty awesome as you drive around the city and see all these… pillars of light. Apparently it’s pretty rare.

For the first time in my life I did a bit of downhill skiing. Starting at age 40 is not the best but hey, there were no broken bones, so that’s a good start in my book.

The whole city of Winnipeg is shovelling snow from their driveways today.

My cover of the guitar solo on Money
I’m quite proud of how my playing of David Gilmour’s solos on Money sounds. Somehow I never learned any of the solos on Dark Side of the Moon. This one was a long time on my list. Surprisingly, it took me less than two evening to study it and record. It’s not perfect but enough to be happy with it and move to the next thing. Watch here:

It’s beautiful outside. Hoar frosts create a magical atmosphere.

🎵 “Lingus” by Snarky Puppy is just phenomenal. Especially Cory Henry’s solo and the drummer through the whole song. It’s just unbelievable. And their other stuff is also jaw-dropping. Watch here:

One of the best songs of the 80ies and one of these guitar solos I didn’t think I would be one day able to play.

Name the song

This Halloween we split: daughter (10yo) and I went around the neighbourhood. My wife and son (14) stayed home to treat visitors. All was good.

Last night was my first time on a concert stage in 20 years, with our new band, BlizzArt. It was a special experience to perform great music with friends, seeing family and friends in the audience and people dancing before the stage. And unlike playing at home or at a rehearsal, I could feel we were playing for them, so that they enjoy the evening. Here’s to many future experience such as this.
-
It’s going to be an exciting day tomorrow. Concert day. I haven’t performed on stage with a band for about 20 years. Hopefully it all goes well and I do it more often from now on.
-
Fantastic performance today by the Queen Extravaganza. Fantastic singers and musicians. Lots of fun when you know and love all the songs.

Rehearsing today
-
Replaced strings and straightened the neck on my Suhr today, lowering the action on G and D too, and wow, now the .10 strings feel soft like 0.9.
-
Bought a stand for my amp. Should sound better instead of the sound going into the feet. Maybe I’ll tilt it even more. This will also help at the concert next week, to get sound to my ear on the stage.
-
We watched “School of Rock” with the kids today. What a fun movie. I also think that kids got a little inspired.
-
So I did get the new iPhone today, eventually.
-
I should receive the iPhone XS today which will be my first Portrait mode capable phone. Expect portraits of Sparky in your feed 🐶

My currently favorite music to play and improvise on: Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers by Jeff Beck (composed by Stevie Wonder). Favorite performance so far: this one with Tal Wilkenfeld on bass and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums.

Since I've been loving you intro cover
One of my favourite blues songs, certainly among the minor blues. The intro is epic and a good use for my Les Paul. So here’s my take on it.

First day in Montreal began with a private tour. We started by driving through one of the most prestigious neighborhoods on the mountain, stopping at a lookout point there, then a visit to the magnificent St. Joseph Oratory, which also overlooks the city. More magnificent churches would follow later in the vacation.

The fun part of Parc Omega visit was feeding deer or caribou with carrots. Bring a lot. But there are other interesting wild animals in the park. It also has a farm area which has cute friendly goats.
-
The first hotel we stayed in was Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello. It has style, history and activities such as rentals of bikes, canoes and more. Time well-spent. It’s also close to Parc Omega, with the munching fella from yesterday.

Happy to get reviews for Trickster like that.
