The Guelph Guitar Project; a musical legacy
Making History Sing – The Guelph Guitar Project
March 18, 2009 – The historical Bookshelf & Ebar, Guelph, ON. I was there. I played it. This is such an inspiration. Great guitar Doug. I chose to be part of this historical musical legacy.
Story:
Doug Larson crafted the guitar from a variety of materials to represent area history, and similar to the Six String Nation guitar that was built by Nova Scotia luthier George Rizsanyi from 60 pieces of Canadiana ranging from Pierre Trudeau’s canoe paddle to Lucy Maud Montgomery’s house.
Start with chunks of wood salvaged from windfall trees. Add a tiny fish fossil, pieces of stone, shells of turtles and mussels, and bits of ivory and ancient cedar and what have you got? It’s a made-in-Guelph guitar, one that its maker hopes will play music and tell tales.
Next Event: April 23, 09 at The CornerStone Café in Guelph, ON. See you all there.

SPRING RAINS
© 2007 Pascal Labillois
From the album : The Allenby Sessions [available on itunes]
In a box of treasure
You buried your smile
In the land of misery
You sent your mind into exile
But don’t hide away
Show me your bruise
I can help you mend
Just stretch out your hand
Spring rains
Wash down the plains
Soon will come brighter days
Let your tears pour away
Like spring rains
Days are warming up
Flowers blooming everywhere
Feel my skin on yours
I know you know that I care
Don’t hide away
Show me your bruise
I can help you mend
Just stretch out your hand
Spring rains
Wash down the plains
Soon will come brighter days
Let your tears pour away
Like spring rains
Your trust’s been poisoned
They stole your freedom
But look around,
I’m solid ground
Spring rains
Wash down the plains
Soon will come brighter days
Let your tears pour away
Like spring rains
This song is dedicated to my friend Susanne and my sister Julie for their strength and determination.
