Once in a while you hear something that you simply can’t let go of.\u00a0 Two years ago I attended the Atlin Music Festival and went to a workshop with Kate Weekes<\/a>, Brenda Berezan <\/a>and Leslie Alexander<\/a>.\u00a0 I had never heard Leslie before and she performed a tune written by Vancouver’s Rick Keating called “Growing the Corn”.\u00a0 The song captivated me and hasn’t let go since.<\/p>\n

To make a long story short, I caught up with Leslie on Facebook and asked her about the song and it’s composer and she told me how to get in touch with him.\u00a0 I called Rick and had a great discussion with him today and he asked me to do a featured set at his open mic when I’m in Vancouver next.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The date is set as per the upcoming shows.\u00a0 I really look forward to meeting Rick and hearing more of his songs and to performing some of my songs at his open mic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thanks so much Leslie for your help – and if any of you haven’t checked this lady out yet – you’re really missing something.\u00a0 http:\/\/www.lesliealexander.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
