It's My Kind Of Town.

If I could ever get to go to Ottawa again, my quest in that wonderful city, which I know so well, would be to see Susan Monroe, because I think she's there. (Now, how do you like them apples)?

Ottawa Bluesfest

One of the best times I ever had was at the Bluesfest in Ottawa. It's a huge outdoor concert held in July on the grounds of the War Museum, not too far from Parliament hill. I went two years ago and they had five stages, and it goes on for days and days. Its not just for blues either. This year they have KISS (!), Blue Rodeo, Joe Cocker, Our Lady Peace and hundreds of others. Definitely a must see!!
