What a great Saturday night. We had a great rehearsal in preparation for cd II. Latin, Caribean feel with lots of words...and words... and more words!

Bonne Nuit!

"I call him St. Francis of Assisi because he used to bring in all the strays in the neighbourhood," says the Oshawa musician. Her father died in April, roughly four months after the fire at the Humane Society of Durham Region that destroyed the Oshawa building and killed more than 100 animals there. Hartshorn-Walton says the tragedy "really affected him" and she shares both her father's love of animals and his distress at what happened that day. After organizing two fundraising events for the society early last year, Hartshorn-Walton is making it three with Love Is In The Air, a Valentine's gala, dance and CD launch to benefit the society, featuring live music on Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. in Oshawa.
