Up on a mountain



I remember the first time I heard Andre Charles Theriault play: It was a summer's night in Bramalea and a bunch of like-minded kids gathered atop a hill in Bramalea to sings about love and tell stories about the fourth dimension.

And here's this guy who looks totally conscious and unconscious all at the same time, playing a song that immediately inspired me. And then he played another. And another. And another. Every song he played there, that night, was just as remarkable as the last.

. . . so it shakes to read this:

I CAN'T SEEM TO WRITE ANY SONGS AT THE MOMENT (AND FOR THE PAST LONG TIME BEFORE NOW)....I NEED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM TRYING TO WRITE THESE SONGS....I WILL BE PLAYING A SHOW DEC 20th IN MISSISSAUGA AND MAYBE ANOTHER IN TORONTO AND THEN TAKING A BREAK....perhaps playing one show here and there just because some friends might be coming down this way on tour. ANYWAYS THIS BREAK WILL LAST UNTIL I AM ABLE TO WRITE SONGS AGAIN...IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE JOINED ANOTHER BAND AND WE ARE PRACTICING AND IT'S FUN.... YOU CAN STILL ORDER C.DS FROM ME BY MESSAGING ME...AND I APOLOGIZE TO THOSE WHO I HAVE BEEN SLOW RESPONDING TO...THINGS HAVE BEEN CRAZY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT I WUV YOU.

But I understand.

Don't be a stranger, Andre.
