It was a ton of fun participating in the Youth Singing Contest, which was held yesterday at the Kanata Centrum Plaza on the pedestrian mall. I had the pleasure of being one of the judges, along with Don (singer extraordinaire, you've probably seen him performing atop the bar at Marshys) and Tracy (music teacher extraordinaire). I was the only one whose qualifications to be a judge were somewhat questionable. Thanks to Sheila of the Kanata Centrum Plaza for setting up quite a show, and Erin and hubby Colin did a wonderful job producing the event. Hats off to the stars of the show: the kids with the amazing voices!

(above) this is Madison McSweeney, who played an awesome version of Alice Cooper's 'School's Out'. No doubt every kid's favourite song at this time of year....just a few more days......

Sheila, Colin and Erin wind down after the competition at O'Connors Irish Pub!
