Slideways Sessions 261
Hey what’s up everyone how you doing today? My name is Tim Penner and this is Slideways Sessions. I hope you’ve been having a great summer…. For me, I took a bit of time off from the show to enjoy some downtime with the family, played a few gigs, and have actually been working on new music in the studio.
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that balance is key. Work life balance is so important if you want to be good to yourself and those around you. I think it’s one of the reasons I’m still sustaining this my livelihood in music.
Part of that balance was having the opportunity to take my wife and son away up north to Quebec, where we went deep into the forest, to a festival called Eclipse. I’ve mentioned this festival before on the show and my feelings remain the same. What an incredible production from the top down… and it always puts perspective on why I do what I do.
Music is the pulse that brings the community together. No one is more important than the other… the ones playing the music are the same as those making the food…. are the same as the ones dancing… are the same as the ones holding space for those that need it. We are ripples colliding with one another.
It’s because of those perspectives on music and people… and the way we come together that I was so proud to bring Sylus up on stage with me… so he could see what daddy does… and what it feels like to pursue a dream. Honestly it was a top 3 moment for me in my music career to have him up there with me…..
So, in honour of him, for today’s show.. I bring you my set from Eclipse Festival. I hope you enjoy…..
Thank you so much for tuning in today.. once again my name is Tim Penner and this is Slideways….
