Travel Photography Retouch, Lightroom 5, On1 Photo 10 - Santa Maria del ...

I immediately fell in love with this picture. It was taken by my sister in law​ on her trip to Paris and Italy 2 years ago. Shot with a Canon PowerShot SX150 IS. It's like $200 takes decent pictures.

The Path to Reality In Stores

September is here! The summer has literally flown by. The Path to Reality launch date was looming in the distance, seemed so far away and now it's past. It's in stores here in Montreal. HMV & Archambault. Yet the work that lies ahead is huge. Being an independent artist your work is cut out for you. I really want to make this album work. Let's not kid around here, I'm not expecting to sell millions of copies, but at the very least I'd love to be on the global music map. Someone to take seriously. Maybe collaborate with some cool artists from all 4 corners of this beautiful globe.

Les Paul 1915 - 2009

Les Paul past away August 13th 2009, at 94 years old, due to complications of Pneumonia. A guitar virtuoso, and inventor, his creations are without a doubt responsible for the way we create, produce and music today. Les performed with jazz and pop musicians from Louis Armstrong to Bing Crosby. With his wife Mary Ford singing, and Les playing guitar, using overdubbing and multitracking, a first in those times, they wrote a string of hit songs in the 1940's and 50's. Les played a key role in the birth of rock and roll in the early 1950s when he teamed up with Gibson.



I started playing guitar at the age of 7. I remember going to Steve's music in Montreal for the first time with my brother, some friends and an awesome young couple Benjamin and Elyce Russell. Who volunteered their Saturdays to teach us guitar at Sun Youth & in the Jeanne-Mance Park in the summer. (Thanks Ben and Elyce! You're generosity has made me the person I am today & for giving me the gift that keeps giving) I remember being awestruck to see so many guitars and amplifiers, I remember back then and still to this day Les Paul's, and all the special guitars were hung up on the back wall. Rightly so. Every guitar player young or old, wants a Les Paul eventually. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford one. I personally have always wanted a custom White Les Paul. We've all heard and have seen a Les Paul played by rock legends Jimmy Page, Slash, Pete Townsend, Jeff Beck, and countless others.

I must admit I didn't know Les Paul was real person till later in my teens. I happened to be watching a show on PBS, and it showed this old guy playing a Les Paul, and he sounded absolutely amazing. I'd never seen anything like it. I mean I grew up listening to shredders like Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert etc. To see this guy, who was probably in his late 70's or early 80's play like that just blew me away. I mean even Steve Vai, who is arguably one of the best guitar players in the world period, said he got his ass kicked by Les. Check out what Steve had to say about him in his myspace blog .

A funny and crazy story that shows what an exemplary person Les was. Way back when, maybe in the late 1940s, he was driving around from gig to gig. It was a late night, and he drove over a bridge not knowing the bridge was out. The car tumbled down in a gully. Les badly injured his right arm. The doctors told him that if they set it properly, he might never be able to bend it again. So he told them to set it at the proper guitar-playing angle. That's dedication in my book.

Thanks Les Paul for be and amazing person, who helped shaped music to what is it today. As well as inspiring so many people, who inspired me with the gift of guitar and music.

Inner Light Spectrum featured artist on The Sunday Sountrack.

So these are the wonders of modern technology. One day on Twitter I tweeted looking for podcasters so I can send some music for consideration. That's when Doug from The Sunday Soundtrack hit me up. Funny thing is I had already checked out and really enjoyed his podcasts. I emailed Doug some tracks, after a few email exchanges back and forth he decided to feature Inner Light Spectrum on the Sunday Soundtrack. So if you'd like to listen to and check out some excellent chilled music perfect for Sunday and pretty much any day of the week. Definitely check out The Sunday Soundtrack.
