Hi all,

May Ip here. I have been very quiet since last spring partly because here in Canada we only have 4 months of good weather to be outside; and partly because ... um ... well, some pics here will explain it best:)

Can't believe it's almost time for another Dickstock. And Xmas Pantomime is coming soon too. How time flies. I was browsing pics of curently active lamma bands. Good to see some familiar faces. As for me, did a gig this summer for a friend at his book reading evening. May perform at a coffee house early December, depending on the baby.

Keep the music going, guys.

Hello Chris,

The coffee house took place, but we did not make it. We had to go to Toronto that weekend. I don't have any gig planned in the near future. However, I am getting bacj into teaching guitar after the holidays. After 7 years of not playing much, my fingers are getting itchy

I see that you have formed yet another band. Bet you are having lots of fun playing with many different musicians. While stuck at home with the baby , I sometimes pick up the fiddle. A friend gave me a pi pa a couple of years ago. Gary finally fixed it for me, so now I am learning how to play that too.

whats a pi pa? *scratching head*

Teaching guitar? Awesome! A nice way to ease back into playing music

How are your lovely children doing?

Yeah, a new all girl band, I love playing with different people.

pi pa is sort of a 4-stringed over tuning guitar Chinese style:) Actually, it's a pear-shaped Chinese string instrument.

Yes, teaching is a nice way to easy back into playing. Enough pressure to get me practising again:)

The boys are fine. Can you believe that Nolan and Kaelin are 7 and 6 now. The newest one of the family turned 3 months last Friday. He's very drawn to the sound of clarinet. I may have a 5 piece jazz band in 12 years:)

Have something to send you. What is your mailing address again?
