Enter the Haggis – Michelle Lewis – Real School of Music
I would like to take a moment on this last day of winter to thank Tom Byrne of the Real School of Music in Burlington, for allowing me to sit in on the Song Writing Workshop held at the fantastic facility earlier this week.
One of my favorite musical groups, Canadian Celtic Band, Enter the Haggis lead the workshop, and were joined by singer songwriter Michelle Lewis, who I had not heard of before. ETH are a fantastic group and what a voice on Michelle – I will ABSOLUTELY be looking up her music!
Lead by ETH’s Trevor Lewington, the group talked about the process of crafting a song, their inspirations, and some of mis-steps along the way. I could not help but see a similarity to the photographic process that I employ. It was a great learning experience for me, and all who were there.

I also used the D300s’s ability to record video and here is a clip from the workshop – it is Enter the Haggis with an acoustic version of “One Last Drink”.
