"Six String Nation" project and guitar "Voyageur"
Presented by the project's founder and director
Jowi Taylor on February 2nd, 2012 in Ottawa
A few weeks ago (before February 02nd) I was invited to take part of the activities included into the PD day for the Ottawa School Board.
To start the PD day they invited Jowi Taylor, radiobroadcaster for CBC Radio to do presentation of his project “Six String Nation”.
After the presentation Jowi asked someone from the audience to play on this special guitar called “Voyageur”, so I agreed to play a song
or two
although the thought of playing in front of near 300 people was a bit overwhelming.
This is how I ended up on the stage with the most unusual guitar I’ve ever touched. At that time I had no idea that I would play on a very
unique
instrument, which was built with 64 pieces of Canadian history (For more information about the guitar you could check the web at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqyiZNvXV3o and hear what Jowi has to say about
it).
To me this guitar is the "Voice of the Nation". I am glad I’ve done it and grateful to Jowi for giving me this opportunity.
It was an unforgettable event, which I cannot compare to anything I’ve ever done so far.
