Adonis Puentes

I am honoured to be joined today by Adonis Puentes in the studio to talk about his new album,

Veinte Años,

 traditional Afro-Cuban trova music played by modern Cuban players and featuring tres maestro Pancho Amat (directly from Cuba).

Remembrance

I was proud to be in a public school gym with eight guitarists, two pianists, three good singers, and a locked-in bass and drums section today, as we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin' (Byrds version) for a silent and listening Remembrance Day audience.

We had compulsory cadets in Chatham Ontario when I was in grade 10. ALL the boys. We went to target practice once a week at the Armory. The good shots were given rifles and the rest of us got bren guns and sten guns, which we had to assemble and disassemble on command. We had drill practice summer and winter.

I spoke to the kids before we played today. I said "You're lucky; you have dragons and super villains to be afraid of. I think that's great. When I was a boy, I was afraid of waking up and seeing all my neighbours' houses on fire."

One to remember.

We'll use the great book "Rise Up Singing". Arthur McGregor will lead the sing with his guitar. Singers call out the song they wish to sing and the page number and, if Arthur knows it (he bats about 95%!) we sing it. If he doesn't the caller teaches us the song!

She will discuss all aspects of the craft of songwriting using the work of the participants as a spring board. Shari will cover lyric structure, song structure, what makes songs work, performance, and other elements of songwriting for novice, experienced, professional and performing songwriters. A two time Juno Award winner, and member the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame, Shari was first known for her multi-instrumentalist skills with the Pied Pumkin and on as the voice of the Hometown Band. Her career as a singer songwriter brings her to her latest release "Everywhere I Go" (Borealis Records) - engineered and produced by her daughter Julia Graff, also a multi-instrumentalist. It is Shari's 8th solo album, and the 21st including her work with Ulrich Henderson Forbes, BTU with Barney Bentall & Tom Taylor, and The High Bar Gang.
