Hey Jean-Patrice,


Some one recently told me our music hits a very common ground, I am
courious I saw your cd for sale when I last visited Montreal is there any
place we can find it in Toronto some place and if not would you be willing
to trade a record or two of material. Im courious about the "other"
candian artist that sounds like this candian artist.
