Dear all:
As everybody noticed, this blog has been inactive since the beginning of this year. I've been involved in many other projects that required full attention. I couldn't run the blog the way I wanted. But... I'm working on a "revamp" of Bengal's Corner to be up and running during the second half of this year.
Thanks for all of you that stopped by, thanks for all the support and kind messages, and I hope I can bring you all some fun (or at least the addresses where all the fun is happening)... soon!
Cheers!
Bengal.
Quebecois composer / performer Jean-Paul Loyer is very ill at the moment and unlikely to recover. This was a message I received from Peter Jellard:
A quick message to let you know about Jean-Paul. We heard from Camille that he is in hospital in Joliette, in palliative care. She doesn't know how long he will be around, but says that it is a matter of weeks. Sounds like he still has his sense of humor, and is receiving good care.
Jean-Paul is best known for his CD OJNAB: Le Messager and his work with Andre Marchand in Detournement Majeur and Les Freres Labri. He has composed dozens of fantastic tunes on banjo and guitar.

Willie Beaudoin passed away this week. He was a wonderful guitarist and fiddle player, a member of the Beaudoin family of Burlington, Vermont. He had a long and full life, and was much loved by his family and friends.
