Hi Folks..

I just found out that I get to realize a dream! When I was working all those years ago in Ireland, I was introduced to a CD called “David Gray ~ Lost Songs” it would be the soundtrack to my life for quite sometime, until “White Ladder” came out… and I still play that one with fervour!!! In any case, he is coming to Ottawa’s new and improved Museum of Nature, and LIVE 88.5 is having a live radio taping, live off the floor at the Museum featuring ME as well as David Gray. I am excited to say the least!! I am on from 12:05pm until 12:15pm… that’s 10mintutes and approximately three tracks if all goes to plan!! David will be on from 1:35pm until 1:50pm. What a thrill, there are a few others too, Tara Holloway, Jonathan Chandler & Pete Hammond…stop by Live 88.5 online to have a listen… How amazing!! Wooooooooooooooo!!! Also coming up in the Life of Lindsay is a date I have at Ottawa’s The Rainbow Bistro on May 19th, it’s a Wednesday night, so if you are out and about in the market, make sure to drop in for a spell of Songs….Also, I started a new blog, because I really don’t think I have enough to keep up with on the web… check it out if ya like http://lindsayferguson.blogspot.com/ Anyway, that’s it for now, short and sweet, unless you go to my blog link and read that!!! Hahaaaaa… it’s a beautiful sun shiny day out there… Enjoy xox

There is no official confirmation yet but this person's joy about it all looks quite genuine to me. Not sure how you will get in there but if you happen to be in Ottawa on that day you may want to give it a try. Good luck!

Thanks for that Rena.  We used to go there when we were kids, really beautiful castle building and its nice to see that it has been brought back to life.  It looks like there are celebrations there all weekend for the re-opening.  He must be there on Sunday as they are in Hamilton on Saturday night.

Checking further and will let everyone know if I find out more.  Its a great place to take kids and maybe there will be an added bonus.

So Bluewater - you have made it into that one with your family. Congrats

Would you let us know which songs David played, please?

Yes this was a lovely family outing, long line up but well worth the wait.  I have some pictures and will put them up when I get home.  We particularly enjoyed the frog exhibit, the nature photographs, mammals and the RBC Blue Water Gallery.  If anyone is going to visit Ottawa, take the time to check out the Museum of Nature.

David played in a relatively small room, lots of space for everyone to see though.  I think its great that this was open to all rather than the secret radio gigs. The kids were able to sit right up front.  David played Fugitive and Babylon, had a few chats with Andrew Elliott the fellow from the station.  He must have been tired as they would have driven from Hamilton through the night but he said that a cheering crowd was better than a cup of coffee. A very intimate and laid back little gig.  At the NAC last night he thanked the people who went to the museum earlier in the day.

Thanks to 88.5 Live, other stations should follow their lead.  I think David enjoyed it too.
