On the road with Paul Cargnello!!
Hey folks!!!!
Day two on the road with Paul Cargnello. I’ll be posting some short “blogs” on how things are going. Last night we played a great show in one of the best record shops I’ve been in for awhile called Le Knockout and they sure did treat us well. I got some great 45’s as well as a limited edition blue vinyl Paul Collins record called The King Of Power Pop.
Today we head out to Chicoutimi to play Le Sous Bois. More to come from the tour as we travel about in our 2 man sonic army!!!!
On a side note: Paul has now started referring to me as “Lucky” Lewis Handford. The polls are noe open to see who’s into it.

Big announcement part 2
Hey Folks!!!
Big announcement part 2!!
As promised, I have another announcement for all of your reading pleasure! I have been holding onto this one for a bit but since the date is drawing closer, without further ado, I want to tell you all that I will be playing drums for Rufus and Martha Wainwright’s Noël Nights!!
The show will be held at Place Des Arts Maison Symphonique hall on December 21st. I am very happy and honoured to be performing with all these great musicians for this wonderful event. I don’t think I can find a greater way to kick off the Christmas season!!
Rufus And Martha Wainwright’s Noël Nights.
“Rufus and Martha Wainwright convene the crème de la crème of the music scene in this benefit concert celebrating Christmas. They’ll be joined by Louis-Jean Cormier, Ariane Moffatt and Amy Millan, to name but a few, taking the stage with the brother-sister duo to light up the evening, all proceeds of which will go to the Kate McGarrigle Fund, which supports cancer care and research at the McGill University Cancer Centre and the McGill University Health Centre Foundation. A good cause has seldom been such joyous fun!”
I sure hope that I will see some of you at the show. This is going to be a great one and will surely be a pleasure for all!
-Lewis.
