Oh, picky picky picky...  <grin>  The province is lovely Ontario, and Kahshe
Lake is in the Muskoka area, near Gravenhurst & Bracebridge, even closer to
Washago, Coopers Falls & Hoosey's Rapids.

As long as you shut his motor off at showtime!

> All in jest..  I LOVE these guys.

And they love you, Vince!  :-)

Thanks for keeping us honest around here!

> > In this duo, Alyssa Wright and Nick Naffin offer solo and duo pieces
> > influenced by folk, classical music, flamenco, tango, fusion and jazz.
> > Crossing over the tributaries of classical and contemporary, of written
> and
> > improvised music, they explore that 'third stream'; where Bach and Miles
> > Davis meet, where tango and cool jazz embrace in an 'indigo mood'.
> >
> > Naffin & Wright combines two distinctly different schools of musical
> > thought and playing.  Classical cellist Alyssa Wright and flamenco-jazz
> > guitarist Nick Naffin met in 1996, sharing club and concert stages first
> > with critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Tim Harrison, then in
> > percussion-powered world beat ensemble the Nick Naffin Group.  They have
> > performed together at venues such as Toronto's Music Gallery, Horseshoe
> > Tavern, Tranzac Club and Harbourfront Centre, appeared on Global
> Television
> > and City TV, and played at the Eaglewood and Caledon Folk Festivals,
> Guelph
> > Jazz Festival, Elora Fringe Festival, duMaurier Downtown Jazz Festival,
> > North by Northeast (NXNE) and the Stan Rogers Folk Festival in
> Canso, Nova
> > Scotia.
> >
> > Naffin & Wright's repertoire ranges from works by Johann Sebastian Bach
> and
> > Astor Piazzolla to contemporary interpretations of standards by Luiz
> Bonfa,
> > Miles Davis and Bill Evans to pieces by modern masters Egberto Gismonti
> and
> > John McLaughlin.  The duo's original music shows not only an
> accomplished
> > technique and versatility, but also a love for-and knowledge
> of-instrumental
> > composition in the European tradition.  On stage, the liquid geometry of
> > classical and Brazilian harmonies, the use of Latin, Arabic and
> AfroCuban
> > rhythms, and the focus on improvisation all come together for a spirited
> > blend of chamber jazz.
> >
> >       Many of the selections from Naffin & Wright's debut CD Muskoka
> > Dreamtime (1999, Northern Breeze Records) were recorded live on Kahshe
> Lake
> > and at Heron Point.  This album continues to receive airplay across
> Canada,
> > the United States, Australia, Germany, Norway and Portugal.  "The whole
> CD's
> > full of nice arrangements, elegantly executed  .the music will keep you
