Aside from being the best singer to ever blow out of Cape breton, my good friend Bruce Guthro has created and maintained the coolest guitar pull in the country. I’ve known Bruce for about 15 years and he’s asked me to join his circle on more than one occasion but I’ve always managed to come up with some elaborate excuse. The real reason  was fear.

In order to survive a cycle with the big boys, you need a full quiver of tunes and must be ready to react on a song’s notice coz you never know what card will be laying into you. You need room to manouver…..strong backup. The big boy sitting to my immediate right was guitar monster Kevin Evans and I felt a little like the guy who bought a knife to a gunfight.

Bruce’s circle was an excellent learning experience and I can’t wait to to get back in the ring.
