It all started in Oct 2020 when the 2nd lockdown was announced in Montreal and everyone and everything was cancelled for the second time. As a musician who lives primarily on gigs and live shows, this was a devastating second blow. By then, I was mentally checked out and just wanted to get away from it all. So I came up with an idea...
I put together a 7-piece band consisting of excellent musician-friends from Montreal who were all in the same boat as me (we called ourselves "The Audio Embassy"), and I booked us for a 2-week work-vacation to the Club Med in Cancun, Mexico. We left on Dec 19, 2020, and planned to stay only for the holidays. Playing music, in the hot Mexican sun, for the Holidays and New Year's Eve, sounded like paradise!
