Valentine’s with Peter Elkas
In the true spirit of Valentine’s Day, John and I had a most romantic evening… at a BobCat house concert featuring Peter Elkas (and lovely opener Andrea Simms-Karp) with 40 other lucky audience members. I’ve seen Peter perform, oh, a few times… but in such an intimate space where you could hear a pin drop, this was an absolute treat and a truly unique experience.
Peter played with “Master of Music” Doug Friesen, who accompanied with a stand-up bass:
Besides having talent, voice and charming banter, Peter also happens to be an incredibly nice and humble guy. Plus, he does a mean version of the Family Ties theme song.
Until you get the chance to see Peter live, drop by his myspace page to take a listen — ‘Party of One’ is still probably my favourite to sing along to. And if you ever get the chance to sit next to him, I urge you to try the ol’ yawn-and-stretch move — he’s a sucker for it!
Emily Chen, you kill me with that yawn move. But with publishing it in action on the inter-web, you’re going to have to try much harder next time you see me.
Emily, the Pete-loving sequence is killer!! haha. Well done. :) I wish I could have been in two places at once that night! (Well, three…Kathleen’s show too!)
Well played, Chen. Well played. Until the restraining order arrives, you’re IN.
He is truly dreamy. And obviously he has good taste judging on where he chooses to place a peck now and then! So who is this “john” guy you say you spent Valentine’s with? No evidence of him anywhere here… ;-)
Whoa – I was checking out Peter’s website and saw a link to your blog…whoa – sweet. I can’t believe I didn’t know he was coming to Ottawa. Fak…nice pics ;)

ps – I still have your Party of one original CD you know…
