  • 014 I Saw A Purple Sky with Pat (LP) Camozzi, musician & children's author

    Lp is all about words that sing. 

     

    Take Me Dancin' is Lp Camozzi's 2nd adult single

    release.  It's the story of his married life and the planned title track
    of his first adult album. Some have commented that Take Me Dancin' has an old
    time country, live music feel brought to life with fiddle, harmonica, slide and
    acoustic guitars, bass and brush snare. All that's missing are the line
    dancers.  Who hasn't fallen in love on a dance floor?  

     

    His first two CD's of original music for kids

    were entitled Even Kids Get the Blues and Even Kids Go Country. The third was
    supposed to be Even Kids Wanna Dance but the true dance stories in Lp's adult
    life evolve around women he'd danced with. So Take Me Dancin' will soon be
    followed by I Wish We Could Dance, On The Disco Floor and I Ain't Broke But I
    Sure Am Busted ...to name a few.  

     

    Besides his voice, Lp's main instrument is blues

    harmonica, which he has played off and on for 40+ years.  He came to
    guitar late but plays a foot tapping rhythm acoustic guitar. And he's a mean
    spoons player.  

     

    Lp loves bluegrass especially bluegrass singers.

     Americana, folk and good old time country music fill his Lp record
    collection.  Admires and plays Springsteen, Neil Young, Hank Williams and
    Eagles covers.  

     

    A father of three and grandfather of four, Lp is

    singing into his retirement career as a full time singer/songwriter and author.
     He is also a published Tanka poet and author of three children's books.
     Although born in the Kootenay Mountains of British Columbia, Lp currently
    lives in Montreal Canada with his French Canadian wife of 35 years.

     

    Family, friends and a love of words. And Dancin'.

    That's Lp Camozzi.

  • 009 Creativity is the Soul Breathing with Sylvie Filiatreault

    Sylvie Filiatreault was born in Montreal (Quebec) in 1972.Raised by a single mother, who recognized at an early age, her daughter’spenchant for the arts. She nurtured Sylvie’s talent and interests with weeklytrips to the library and providing her with the tools needed to persevere inher passions for the arts and literature by attending seminars and conferencesat a very early age. ‘‘I remember going to those events and sitting on abooster seat to the surprise of all who were present.’’

     

    She is a graduate of Concordia University inFine Arts and Art History; two disciplines that married her deepest passions:stories told in images. “I have alwaysbeen fascinated with the paintings ofcenturies past as they hold the many secrets of the times in which they werecreated.  Every work of art, every pieceof architecture, every word ever written is a time machine in itself”. 

     

    In 1998, after graduating from her Bachelors degree, Sylviewas well on her way to starting her Masters Degree in Art Therapy but left herstudies to care for her ailing mother. She persevered through many “dead end”jobs. Thankfully, many of her stories were given birth during these cubicleyears. They were difficult times but she found refuge in her writing whilstdealing with the pain of a parent’s illness. 

     

    Sylvie’s curious personality left her dissatisfied withonly reading about historical events and places. She wished to experience themfirst hand therefore with her mother’s blessing, she sold all her worldlybelongings, donned a back-pack and traveled to Scotland, England, France,eventually settling in Ireland, reveling in the history, culture and mythology.

     

    Sylvie presently lives in Brossard (Québec) and is acolumnist for a monthly Community News paper. She is currently working on atrilogy (fiction) spanning over centuries about power and manipulation of womenin the name of Christianity. Sylvie has also illustrated a children’s bookentitled: ‘‘A Poppy for Pappy’’ that is presently being sold in TheCanadian War Museum of Ottawa, to raise funds for Canadian’s Veterans.Thus ensuring that our next generation never forgets those who sacrificed somuch for our freedom.

     

    Her favorite inspiring quote for living her life is byJulius Caesar, ‘‘I came, I saw, I conquered’’. Dreams are only events that wehave yet to set in motion for ourselves. All it takes is for us to put the fearof failure aside and take that first step.
