Imagine, me playing a concert for hundreds of women. Well, that’s exactly what I did this past weekend. It was held in the Telus Convention Center in Calgary and it was a wonderful experience. The IMAGINE Conference was designed to refresh and revitalize women - body, soul and spirit. There were 11 seminars presented by amazing speakers on everything from health and relationships to stress management, financial investing, and fashion.

I met some wonderful ladies and sat in on some of the sessions. Laura-Lynn Tyler was the MC and she had me laughing so hard because being the only guy in the room, I was the brunt of her jokes. She is so talented and funny that I hope I can do another gig with her again.

A big thank you to Karen Taylor and Judy Rushfeldt for inviting me to perform at such a great event. The best part of the day was helping to get 30 or more kids sponsored for Compassion Canada. I feel so motivated knowing that helping in a small way can change the lives of kids living in extreme poverty.

Hey, thanks to those you purchased a copy of my latest CD “First Set”. For those who haven’t, I only have a few copies left of the first pressing. You can get it here:
Colin Arthur Wiebe, First Set

It is now available on iTunes so if you want, you can download the individual tracks. I was shocked last week when I looked at my digital download reports to see that “Anniversary Song” was the most downloaded song. I guess people are sentimental everywhere:)

If you want to check out iTunes here is a link to the previously unreleased Bonus Track featuring Jerry Doucette (Mama Let “em Play)




Listening to the radio this morning I heard an add for Manulife Investments and the song they use in the commercial is No Time. It is not the original Guess Who version but rather the sound-alike that Randy made years ago. I haven’t asked Randy but I think they are using the old Bachman Songbook version. The voice you hear is Donnie McDougall and not me.

The Six String Nation guitar is made of more than 60 pieces that are significant aspects of history or culture from across the country. I met Jowi Taylor in Ottawa and got play the guitar. I sang an Elvis song while they snapped a few pictures. Six String Nation is the product of 11 years of work.

The girl in the picture is my long time friend Sheila. She happened to be in Ottawa so I invited her to our show.
