Was a great fun and honor to play yesterday July 23rd for the celebration of the new nation chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo held in Calgary's Hyatt Regency. It's interesting that they specifically wanted to have a jazz band playing for the reception before and after the speeches.
Elder chiefs and new nation chief had speeches, with some singing and national dancers. The costumes were fantastic! (well... just a head feather hats).
Mr Shawn A-in-Chut presented himself as a very intellectual and educated person.
The highlight of the evening for me was meeting Ted Nolan who happened to be in the room too for the simple reason that he's a native American also. As you know Ted recently was a New York Rangers hockey team coach and now I believe is retired and back to Canada.
Till next time!!
