A New Life for an Old Bridge
My association with the Eastern Townships filmmaker Louise Abbott continues. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her recently on a documentary of Quebec’s covered bridges. This segment is a subset of the project produced for Hamlet Heavy Timberwork, and deals with the restoration of the Eustace covered bridge near Waterville, Quebec:
More selections from my recital at the Segal
OK, here are a few more from my December 10 recital at the Segal Centre in Montreal.

Oh, What A Beautiful Morning – Oklahoma!
The Promise – Schwartz’s: the Musical
First Selection from December 10 recital
Well, I survived. I’ll slowly post several selections from my recital at the Segal Centre in Montreal as I find time to edit. I decided last minute to bring my camera along and set it up in a locked-down shot. In the edit, putting the 1080p footage in a 720p time line in Final Cut Pro allowed me to reframe, zoom, and otherwise pretend there was a camera operator involved.
I do have to thank my stepson Jeffrey, who agreed to babysit the camera and make sure no one killed themselves tripping over it or something. He couldn’t stand the pressure of a locked down camera, however, and slipped in a few little pans and zooms, hehe…
Anyway, here’s one for you:
From today’s rehearsal

Upcoming Recital!
I’m rehearsing for an upcoming recital that will take place on December 10, 2011 in the Studio at the Segal Centre in Montreal. The pianist/actor Chris Barillaro that appeared with me at the Centaur production of “Schwartz’s: the Musical” has agreed to accompany me. We decided to work on a program of early 20th Century parlour songs, with a segue into more modern musical theatre. Should be an interesting mix and I can’t wait.

Excerpt from Historic Georgeville: Walks and Talks with John Boynton
Another sample from my collaboration with Louise Abbott of Rural Route Communications. I shot all of the interview footage in this excerpt, and some of the other material. Did the online edit for the doc as well.
Head shots
Got some head shots done recently by a great photographer named Andrew Moniatowicz (see http://www.ipi-events.com).
Help me choose which one!

Schwartz’s: the Musical
This spring I spent 6 weeks onstage at the Centaur Theatre in Montreal in the hit show “Schwartz’s: the Musical.” For the first time in the theatre’s history, they are remounting a show for a summer run. So we’re back until August 7. Check it out:
