Playing tunes with Jocelyn Pettit

Spent a lovely evening last night playing tunes with friends new and old at The Snug Coffeehouse on Bowen Island.  Every so often, a couple of times a month or so, we gather there on a Saturday night to play Irish and Scottish tunes.  Last night my old friend Dave Marshall showed up, which was lovely.  He and I were regulars at the famous Tuesday night session  at the Irish Heather in Vancouver in the mid to late 1990s.

Last night though was the first time I have ever played with  Jocelyn Pettit.  Jocelyn, who is all of 16 years old, is a phenomenal talent.  A beautiful fiddle player, who has crafted a marvelous CD of tunes both traditional and recently composed, Jocelyn lives in Squamish, the town up at the end of our inlet.

Today, on my way to Kuujuaq in northern Quebec, Jocelyn’s music is filling my ears.  Click through and listen to her music…
