Judges hidden in a trailer behind the stage, audience in lawn chairs under a large shelter, musicians, one by one take the chair at centre stage, playing their best and hoping the judges like their performance. This is the Canadian Guitar Festival. Attracting musicians from as far away as Japan, France, the states and of course Canada, this festival allows only 25 entrants, each of whom play up to two original works in ten minutes or less.
Ace was first to play.
While we watched, anxiously.
Twenty five contestants later, Ace was invited to return to the stage as one of five finalists.
And declared winner of the third place prize. He received a new mandolin for his efforts and a new fan base.
