Finding a Voice

I'm in Edmonton until tomorrow morning. It was a bit of a panic to get away on Saturday, but got here in good time and had a lovely Saturday evening with Logan and Rachel Runnalls and their little guy Nevin, eating East Indian food, talking, laughing, singing and playing together. Sunday morning I led worship at their church, The Canopy, with Rachel on the boudhran (aka bodhran) -- lovely.

Sunday evening I played an intimate (read small) concert in the living room of Naomi and Andrew Pahl. Naomi and Andrew live in "Little Italy," and in the afternoon took me down the street to the Italian supermarket where we picked up some lovely items for an appetizer feast. Love their three cats.

This afternoon I'll spend more time with Rachel and Nevin, then have supper with her parents. I'm waiting to hear whether they need/want me for open mic night at The Mustard Seed this evening.
