- Born in Noranda, Quebec. Parents came to CT when I was 6 months old. Lived in CT most of my life. Parents and most relatives now deceased. Miss the good-old-days with the music so I inherited the button box accordion and decided to play it. Now I've made some french music friends. Look forward to meeting more in my culture.

I would surely love to attend the entire festival but that darn "Day Job" keeps getting in the way.
On the following day, July 18 Vergennes Vermont hosts the annual French Heritage Festival just 20 minutes from the site of Mary's restaurant.
I would be happy to send you that information and I will concentrate on the September and beyond time period. September itself is a big month for music that begins with the world accordion festival Sept 3-7 in Montmagny, Quebec just north-east of Quebec City. Then Chants de Vielles Sept 11-13 in Calixa- Lavalee just 45 minutes northeast of Montreal.Both have on site camping.
Peace and Joy for the coming year.
session & pot luck held by Benoit Pelletier Shoja. My favorite festivals in Québec where I find the most inspiration are Chantez vous bien chez nous In February and the Chants de Vielles in September. It all began for me at the Champlain Valley Folk Festival in Ferrisburgh, VT back in 89 when I heard Beausoleil and again in 1991 when Ad Vielle Que Pourra played there. After that I began to learn accordion and in doing so came to cross paths with Dana Whittle & Martha Pellerin who lead me down the path of traditional Québec chansons. I've been on that path ever since about 1995. I too learned by ear and continue to do so. I look forward to meeting you someday and sharing some music.
Vonnie got a shower but the power went off just as I stepped in the tub.
We will reschedule, because we were really looking forward to playing some Quebecois tunes.
