Spent the day yesterday with my bud Andre and  daughter April and her bud
Mike at the _Festival International du  Blues de Tremblant - Tremblant
International Blues Fest_ (http://tremblant.com/bluesfestival/index.htm)  (Quebec)
partly  sponsored by VW Canada.  I just want to let you all know that if you do not
 attend your missing out and one huge opportunity to take advantage of VW's
sponsorship enthusiasm.  This event is FREE, yes Free, due to in part of VW
sponsorship.  Even the parking, if you drive a VW is free, and VW was  handing
out gadgets from the vast inventory of stuff.  I got a neat tri leg  stool
with a VW logo and a neat CD case !  VW presence is everywhere  including a VW
powered chair lift to bring you from the lower village to the  upper area as
there were stages at both ends of the hill !  And, if you  like the Blues then
this is the place, no whishy washy side tracks, pure blues  at every stage and
in every bar, unbelievable and the surrounding setting in the  Lurientien
mountains is breathtaking.  This a week long event and I  now wish I had made plans
to go there for the week.  Unfortunately I've  already committed to going to
_West River  Westies_ (http://www.limbobus.org/westies.html)  on Wednesday so
too bad so sad for the this year.   BUT, next year, gonna go spend the week in
the Tremblant Provincial park just a  few KM up the road and suck in all the
atmosphere slowly.  Le Circuit Mt.  Tremblant is also just around the corner
also for you racing fans.  No time  to go have a look but we could hear the
CART cars going round and round from the  Blues venu !  Cool, way cool !
Anyways, just wanted to share my  enthusiasm for this great FREE event !  Elyssa
Mahoney, Jimmy Bowskill,  Ricky Paquette and Nico Wayne Toussaint were some of the
acts the blew me  away.  If you don't know them then you need to, nuff said !

Cheers,
