Playing solo guitar at the Cochrane Ranch HouseRumba Flamenco Guitar in Cochrane, What a week it’s been!

I began by week flying to Calgary last Friday for a solo rumba flamenco guitar performance at the Spring is in the Art Show.

It’s the middle of April so we kind of laughed as it was snowing a lot the evening before I arrived. It was more like “Winter is still in the Air”! The picture on your right is the Cochrane Ranch House where I performed Friday and Saturday.

As a mater of fact, I had so much fun playing for everyone that I returned to the event Saturday to play solo guitar again from 11am to 3pm.My solo guitar setup on the Roof Top of the Hotel Vancouver

From there it was a rush back to the Calgary Airport to return my car.

Next I was off to Vancouver again for a solo rumba flamenco guitar performance up on the roof top of the Hotel Vancouver for an event for the University of Michigan.

A few evening ago I performed solo rumba flamenco guitar on a three hour corporate dinner cruise around the Vancouver harbor.

The vessel was called the Magic Moment and it was for a group from Australia.

So today I’m going to take you behind the scenes with another short Guitar Slinger video.
