We just spent an awesome time at this year’s Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards show last night. Buffy St.Marie cleaned up with 4 CAMA awards. It was a night to remember, the Aboriginal talent in Canada is so diverse and young. It made me feel proud! My wife and I also attended the Diggin Roots after party. I met some good friends I haven’t seen in about a year–it’s good to reconnect. Again the music was phenomenal, the live performances from Wapistan (Lawrence Martin) rocked the house. Don Amero was another great act. We finally left at about 1:30am. We needed to get out early to prepare for the pow-wow today. Below are some grainy, somtimes out of focus photos taken from my iPhone. Enjoy. I’ll be back on tonight uploading more photos of the pow-wow here in Hamilton.

It’s that time of year again! I’m making preparations to attend this year’s Canadian Aboriginal Festival, but this time it’s not in Toronto but in Steel town, my town! – Copps Coliseum – Hamilton, Ontario. I’m looking forward to see my friends and family there. Many whom I’ve not seen since last year. That’s the great thing about pow-wows. It brings people together from all nations.

But first thing’s first. My wife and I, will be attending the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards this Friday (tomorrow) at Hamilton Place Theatre. It will be a wonderful night,  showcasing some of the best Aboriginal music talent in world.

If you are headed to either event, drop by and say hello. I look forward to meeting you.

What a start to the week! I got a good chuckle when i found these loafers. These Bread Shoes can be purchased online. They have them in adult sizes as well as sizes for kids, a great Christmas gift! This fine collection of loafers is quickly selling out.
