Hi folks,

in this neck of the woods a lot of us get excited about this time of the year (besides the fact that our kids are back in school!) as the Guelph Jazz Festival begins today.

This year, not only can you hear a number of the concerts on the radio (and online at www.ciut.fm) but also the Red Guitar (a new venue in Toronto) is bringing a number of the visiting Guelph artists to Toronto!

Here are the details on all that stuff (this means I can hear Rob Clutton's solo bass concert tommorrow...hurray!!)
