The former lead singer of The General Electryk has been making a name for herself since moving to Toronto. Just recently she had theopportunity to play the main stage at Queen?s Park in Toronto Ontario on Canada Day. ?It was a great honour to represent Franco-Ontarians during the Canada Day celebration at Queen?s Park. This show continued our fun run of a summer packed with some great festival stages such as the Francofolies in Montreal, Festival Franco-Ontarien in Ottawa, the Montreal Folk Fest on the Canal and the

Sara Lauzon's House of Ref uge Monument Unveil ing Article and Photo by Jason Setnyk

Ingleside Ontario ? On Saturday, July 23rd, 2016, at 10am, Sara Lauzon invites the public to join her at the St. Lawrence Valley Cemetery in Ingleside Ontario, to commemorate the lives of 29 House of Refuge inmates that were originally buried on the House of Refuge property (and relocated to the Ingleside Cemetery with unmarked graves in 1985).

The monument will be unveiled to the public, and it will be followed by a small ceremony and a prayer. ?In the early 1900s when these people were

Luminato Festival in Toronto ? and that was just June!? says Melanie Brulee.

Cornwall this coming August too. ?I?m heading out on tour with Anique Granger in July for the Northern Lights Festival BorĂŠal in Sudbury and the Mariposa Folk Fest.

We?ll also be playing at Kelsey?s in Cornwall on August 25th,? added Melanie Brulee.

Playing various festivals and playing on Canada Day at Queens Park suits Melanie Brulee just fine. ?I?m quite enjoying having a lot of room onstage ? knowing that my band is really tight helps me let loose too, filling up that space with dancing and connecting with my bandmates and he crowd,? confided Melanie Brulee.

What?s next for Melaine Brulee? The Franco musician will be hitting the studio in the fall. This time she will be strapping on her cowboy boots, adding a twist of country on her next album. ?In the fall I?ll be starting to work on a twangy country album. Tassels and cowboy boots baby, that?s where we?re heading,? confided Melanie Brulee.

This July Melanie Brulee is going on tour with Anique Granger, and she also has a concert scheduled in

originally buried on the House of Refuge property, the only person present at the time of their burial was the person digging the hole.

There were no funerals, and there were no loved ones surrounding them as they were laid to rest.

On July 23rd, I invite you to change history with me. On July 23rd, they will be remembered and honoured the way they should have been nearly 100 years ago,? Sara Lauzon explained.

ways. I did about 15 historic walks (on Sydney and Pitt Street). I did lectures for groups, and when I was asked if I charged, I said no but did explain that I was fundraising. Every group gave me a donation for my time. I had a yardsale. People dropped off things they weren?t using, and I sold it. People were amazing. It was pouring rain, but groups of people still showed up to donate, or to purchase things. Around Christmas I sold House of Refuge Christmas ornaments for $5 a piece. That generated a lot of donations? Sara Lauzon reflected.

Sara Lauzon spent over a year raising the money to make this monument become a reality.

?Honestly, the most incredible part of this entire journey is the support from my community. I can?t express how grateful I am to everyone for helping me make this goal a reality,? Sara Lauzon concluded.

?This is the most rewarding thing I?ve ever done. I?m so excited for July 23rd! I raised the money in all kinds of

THO M PSO N Resil iency Resiliency is one of those words that we often use in society and the human services, but we don?t use it to its full potential and need to break it down a bit more. It is kind of like respect. It seems to me that people always use that term often, but rarely is it ever really defined and discussed. I remember going into a group home a few years ago and there were lists of rules placed throughout the home, mainly saying that respect must be shown to everyone. This did not make sense to me and I am pretty sure that the teens that lived there either ignored or had no clue what it meant either.

Many of today?s children and youth can be whiny and entitled. When they lose time on their Ipad or have a bad day it is like its the end of the world. Parents often feed into that and the end result is not great. We often tell Adam that ?Thompson?s aren?t quitters? and I love when I hear him say it out loud. But we still need to often remind him.

Back to resiliency. I have had training on the topic and it was very interesting. Why are some children and adults resilient and why are some not? I recall the numbers that the lady gave that one third of all people need some type of counselling or therapy to help them with trauma or their past. One third go through life doing pretty well.

The other third of people that experience hard times go on to do really well and become healthy and successful citizens. I have heard some different theories on why some people are more resilient than others, but it is most likely a combination of nature and nurture. One thing that is never effective is playing the victim. I have observed many examples of children and adults who play this role like an Academy Award Winner. Leo Decaprio and Jennifer Lawrence have got nothing on them.

We must introduce resiliency as an option to our children. But first as adults and parents we must ensure that we practice what we preach. We all go through hard times and it is normal and healthy to grieve, vent, and cope in a variety of ways. But there is a statue of limitations on victimization and there is a fine line between healthy venting and chronic complaining. I remember reading Tuesdays With Morrie and learned a valuable lesson from that book. Morrie was diagnosed with ALS and did not have long to live as his body systematically broke down rapidly. But what Morrie did was to allow himself a couple of minutes every day to feel sorry for himself and then he moved on with his day.

That is it. He spent the rest of his day talking to loved ones and close friends. He refused to play the victim. If a man is able to do this with such a horrific terminal illness then why can?t the rest of us?

I have done many assessments on people of all ages and when I hear and see resiliency demonstrated by them I immediately identify it and let them know. Most have never heard themselves referred to in that manner. Now when they tell their story they no longer look at themselves as a victim and instead show pride in making it through tough times with their head held high.

As a Life Coach I can help children, teens, adults, and families begin to introduce resiliency into your lives. It can be incredible when you see someone make that shift and begin to look at themselves from a place of positivity and strength.

St . John's Presbyt erian Church - A sketch of the Historic Cornwall Jail and Courthouse dated 1840 also shows the edge of a nearby church on the east side of Pitt Street - St. John's first church, which opened ca. 1831 when Cornwall was still known as New Johnstown. This photo of that early structure is from the Daly Collection. The congregation which would eventually bear this name first came together in 1787 and built their current Second Street East church in 1888/ 89.

Cornwall?s only Beaux Arts structure, the Bank of Montreal built on this location in 1911 and still operates there today with only minor changes to the exterior, primarily along the roof line and entrance.

The Rossmore House - The Rossmore was a fine example of the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style popular in the later part of the 19th century; the current St. John's Church is also of that style. Billed as Eastern Ontario?s leading hotel, the ?fire-proof? 62 room hotel was constructed on this site in 1888. The dining room was lighted with gas and electric chandeliers and could seat 200 people.

The hotel was heated by two large boilers; toilets and baths with hot and cold water were available on every floor. Every room had a bell connected to the office, was equipped with hair mattresses and the floors were covered with Crosbey?s Brussels carpet. The hotel soon outgrew its original location, and a 45 by 80 foot annex was added fronting on Second Street East. Sadly the hotel was destroyed by a fire on April 29, 1910, in which 12 people lost their lives.

BAKER Hi There to everyone reading the most positive paper in town, The Seeker! I hope that you've had a great start to the summer season, especially those of you with kids home from school. Last week I wrote about the importance of getting just the right amount of sun, and not over-doing it.

This week, I want to discuss the need to drink plenty of water while out in the sun, or during hot weather.

TIP OF THE WEEK: Hydration!!! On these hot days of summer, one thing we sometimes overlook is making sure we and our families are drinking enough water. We may not feel thirsty, but we are losing moisture through evaporation and can easily become dangerously dehydrated. If we are consuming caffeinated beverages, we are losing more moisture than we are consuming, because caffeine is a diuretic, which means we will expel more liquid than we consume. Water is the best choice, and is especially important for the very young and very old, and of course, if you are very active. Some symptoms of dehydration include feeling weak or dizzy, having a dry mouth, feeling confused, having irregular heartbeats, decreased urine output and having a swollen tongue. Of course, the first sign is increased thirst, but even if you don't feel thirsty, you need to drink lots of water while out in the sun or in hot weather, especially if you are active.

featuring a special hat that is perfect for these hot summer days.

It's a straw hat, shaped sort of like a cap, but with a little extra feature. It actually has a solar panel on the top which powers a small electric fan to blow cooling air on the forehead. That's right, an electric hat that can keep me cool!

When the sun peeks out from behind a cloud and begins to cook me too much, the fan starts running, and since our foreheads are heat conductors, and help cool us down through perspiring, it's amazing at how much cooler I feel once this fan is running. Only one slight flaw in this invention. Once in awhile, my hair will get drawn into the rapidly spinning propellor.

OUCHY WAWAAAA! Ok, it only hurts a little, but it's worth a little pain to enjoy the cooling power of this hat. Oh, you know me, I picked it up at Value Village for next to nothing.

While in Ottawa for the past two weeks, being with my young strong son (photo right) and having to do most everything for him has made me realize the setbacks and frustrations there is for those who are handicapped. He had surgery to his right shoulder, and our shoulders are easily taken for granted. The shoulder is an amazing joint in the body, as it allows us to move our arm into many positions, rotating, swinging, and reaching. When something goes wrong, as in the case of my son's injury, it can be really debilitating not to have the use of it. Simple tasks such as getting dressed, tying a shoe, or opening a fridge, become very complicated, as we have to make do with only the one hand. In Marcus's case, he is right handed, and without his right shoulder, he is using his left hand a lot more than usual. But what about those who have an arm missing, or even both? What about those people confined to a wheelchair, or worse, to a bed? We take our mobility for granted, and perhaps we should consider what it is like for those around us who are not so lucky. Perhaps we might even consider helping someone with a chore or task they would not otherwise be able to have done. I certainly appreciate my own mobility more after helping with my son.

I have been enjoying time spent in Ottawa for the past two weeks, which brings me to my last topic for this week. Cornwall. It's just the right size. It's got waterways, parks, trails, places to kayak, places to cycle, and lots of friendly people.

I miss it already, and by the time you are reading this, I will have just arrived home again to Cornwall. Johnny and I love it here, and wouldn't trade living here for any other place, other than perhaps just outside of town, somewhere along the river. But this is now home for both of us, me being from Ottawa and John from Hamilton. We love our town. We also hear a lot of people who say the same thing, though there are always the nay-sayers in any town that love to run it into the ground. Let them say nay if they want to, I know what I like, and Cornwall has just about everything and anything a person could want, from smaller businesses to big-box stores, and everything in between. Best of all, it only takes about ten minutes to get to most places in town. (eleven during rush hour) We're not lost in a sea of pavement and concrete, as many of the larger cities seem to be, because we're on the river and plenty of nature around us, in the form of rivers, creeks, bike paths, parks, farms, trails and much more. To anyone who feels Cornwall is a dead end town with nothing going for it, I ask you to please look a little harder. The very things that make our town wonderful are just around the corner, or under our noses.

We only need to slow down and take notice of them.

Note here from Seeker Chick Mai-Liis. I have also found out over the past week how we take everything we do in our daily lives for granted since I broke my left foot and am now manoeuvring around in a cast and on crutches.

Simple things like going up and down stairs have to be rethought as well as even working at a computer, trying to get the swelling to go down in the foot. A definite reality check and new appreciation for everything we take for granted in our everyday lives. Hopefully 5 more weeks and I too will be back to full mobility!

UNTIL NEXT WEEK: Consider the kite.

He doesn't complain of being tied down. He doesn't mind having to pull against the string. He knows that without having something to hold him down, he wouldn't be able to reach for the skies. It is the same for us. If life were all easy and fun, we'd never have to reach or try. We'd become lazy and unappreciative. Be thankful for whatever may be holding you back. The kite knows that without it, it would fall.

ITEM OF THE WEEK: Well you know me, I love heels and hats. For the item this week, I am

Krist ine Picken wiel ding her Brush at Regional Art Bat t l e in Ot t awa Kristine Picken is the winner at Cornwall's second Art Battle Canada event that took place last November. She competed with some of the best visual artists. She went on to face the challenge in Ottawa at the Regional Finals on June 28, 2016. The competition was fierce as she battled against 12 other artists hailed from Eastern Ontario. Kristine went to work while plugged in to her favourite music and produced this whimsical owl in her allotted time of 20 minutes. While Kristine did not make it to the Nationals, the experience left her glowing with excitement and anticipation of art battles to come. Kristine would not have advanced this far in visual art without talent and support. She loved to draw and paint since she was a little girl and often received artist kits and supplies as gifts for birthdays and Christmases. Her mother Donna and her Aunt Kimberley Cameron have been her inspirations to this day. She went on to study Graphic Design at St. Lawrence College while continuing with her first love. She took a few art classes but mostly taught herself through trial and error. Kristine?s favourite media are acrylic paint mixed with pencil crayon.

Her work is detailed and with great depth. She finds inspiration from movies, cartoons, video games, books, music, photographs and other artists? creations. Her favourite subjects are fantasy and fandom.

Kristine would paint every day if she could. She paints at least once a week and often puts in large blocks of time in a day. She aims to improve her work, learn new techniques and meet new people. Innately a shy person, Kristine has blossomed through her art and the artist community. It is her dream to work as a professional artist and to create a viable visual art business of her own. The lesson she learned from her art experience has been motivating and affirming. She stated that, ?it is important to never underestimate yourself. There have been countless times where I thought I would not accomplish what I had in mind. I did and even surprised myself at times.?

BURKE Ext ended Warrant ies Many of us have encountered this when out shopping for a computer or other electronic device; the sales representative will offer an extended warranty. The question is, is it worth it?

Having worked in electronics sales for several years, I can relate that many of the larger companies actively promote extended warranties. Why? For two reasons.

The first would be to increase profits. A $600 laptop probably generates less than $60 profit. If the company can offer a $100 3 year coverage extended warranty, they will increase their profit considerably, most likely doubling it. An extended warranty is like life insurance for your equipment. There are mortality tables for electronics, and a lot of computer & electronics hardware will last at least 3 years. But some won't.

The second reason to actively promote extended warranties is to ensure that the client is kept happy. I have personally been the witness to both possible outcomes of keeping a client happy. Years ago, I worked for Adventure Electronics at Cornwall Square. A gentleman had returned a 3 month old Walkman for repair (it had rusted due to condensation) and it was ready for pickup. The client had declined the $29 extended warranty when he purchased the Walkman. Since condensation damage was not covered by the standard warranty, the repair would cost him $80 (on a $100 Walkman).

The extended warranty would have provided him with an over-the-counter replacement. He was so infuriated when he picked up the Walkman that he stomped on it and walked out of the store. I have also seen the over-the-counter replacement of equipment covered by an extended warranty.

The customer left the store with their NEW item and they were very pleased.

Is an extended warranty worth it? I'd say that if the item has moving parts (CD or DVD drive, fans, pumps, etc) or mechanical assemblies that could fail, it would be wise to consider the extended warranty. If the extended warranty has a "no lemon" provision, accident insurance and over-the-counter replacement built into the coverage, it makes the extended warranty even more desirable. If the extended warranty also offers a cleaning service in addition to the warranty coverage, then it becomes extremely attractive. At this point, there are only two other considerations before taking that extended warranty: length of coverage and the cost as a percentage of equipment value.

How long do you intend to have the item you would be getting a warranty for? Most computers, tablets, cell phones have an operational life-span of 5 years or less. They may last longer, but they become outdated within that 5 year period. How much is the warranty for the coverage period? Unless it is a small ticket item (under $100) If you have to pay 30% or more of the value of the item you are purchasing for a 3 year warranty, then you may be paying too much. Fully featured 3 year extended warranties for big ticket items start to make sense around the 25% of value point, and at 15% or less, they will likely represent an excellent value.

Knowing what I know about extended warranties, I typically purchase them if the item to be covered is worth more than $250, has mechanical or moving parts, coverage is for 3 or more years and the plan costs no more than 20% of the value of the item I am buying. So, when the sales representative suggests you purchase an extended warranty, don't dismiss the suggestion outright. Ask for the plan details and take the time to evaluate the warranty. It may be a good proposition.

Second Annual Cornwal l Food Fest t akes pl ace August 20t h Article by Jason Setnyk Photo courtesy of Choose Cornwall

Cornwall Ontario ? The second annual Cornwall Food Fest takes place on Saturday, August 20th, 2016. Pitt Street will come alive with delicious food, live music, vendor sales, artist demonstrations and much, much more! The event takes place from 10am to 8pm.

For only $2.00 a person (children free), event goers can enjoy tasty eats prepared by local restaurants and gourmet food trucks as they shop the downtown, checking out sidewalk sales set up by participating merchants and the outdoor vendors market where local artisans will be selling their handcrafted goods. All proceeds from this event benefit The Hub for Beyond 21 Foundation (Beyond 21).

community and they love helping us as volunteers? Jane McLaren explained.

Beyond 21 operates a support program for adults, 21 years of age and older, who have a developmental disability. They serve the city of Cornwall as well as the counties of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry and Akwesasne. As a registered charity that does not receive any government funding, they are reliant on grants, donations and fundraisers, such as the Cornwall Food Fest, to sustain and expand their services. ?As a charity we are always looking for new ways to fund-raise. Key to this are opportunities that are unique, add something to our community, and respect the other events and fundraisers that are happening in our community. And key to Beyond 21 is to come up with ideas that truly have community at heart. Coming up with those ideas is quite the challenge,? said Beyond 21 Program Manager Jane McLaren.

Jane McLaren has fond memories of downtown Cornwall, and remembers the downtown as being the heart of the community. Food Fest taps into that nostalgia, and it helps bring a lot of people downtown. ?Having grown up in Cornwall I remember many fun times in the downtown where the streets were filled with people and filled with things to do. Downtown used to be the heart of Cornwall?s community.

And though that has changed over the years, to some extent we are starting to see that come back. Anyone who knows our downtown knows that there are many true gems in our downtown stores and restaurants and that local artisans are featured in several of the downtown stores. Bit by bit downtown is starting to become community again. I?d often see Street Festival?s in other communities but not here in Cornwall. So when we were talking about fundraisers and what would be a unique idea, I suggested the idea of a Street Festival,? Jane McLaren added.

The Food Fest generates much needed funds for Beyond 21, but it also creates awareness so the public can learn more about Beyond 21 and what the organization does.

This second annual Food Fest hopes to attract over 10,000 people and raise over $20,000 for Beyond 21.

?The Food Fest is a major event for Beyond 21. It is a key fundraising event for us bringing in much needed funds. And it is a key awareness event. Doing a community wide event helps to reach people and let them know who we are, what we do, and how we are here to help! And that is important to us! It is also a key event where our participants are able to volunteer and fit in just like anyone else. They get to be a part of

?We are expecting over 10,000 people this year and hope to raise well over $20,000. It?s a huge goal and we are working hard to achieve it! The funds raised come from the $2 bracelet fee (required to purchase food from the on street food vendors), sponsorship, registration fees, as well as from donations that are made from our vendors at the end of the day,?

Jane McLaren concluded.

VALADE Car Seat Saf et y: Rear-Facing Convert ibl e Seat s Your baby is now getting heavier, you're done with using the rear-facing only seat. Or you've decided to skip the infant only all together. What do you do? Get a rear to forward facing convertible car seat! These seats are designed to rear-face your infant and then once they reach the height or weight max of this position, they can forward face (we recommend no earlier then 2 years).

Convertible car seats commonly start as low as 5lbs. That being said it is important to pay attention to two or three other factors. Check the harness slots. Some of them are quite high and would not be accommodating to a newborn. Check how much recline space is required, compared to your vehicle space. Check to see if the seat allows for different options such as recline positions, infant padding, or if the shoulder straps are removable in case you find them too bulky on your newborn. When possible, try the seat out in your vehicle before purchase. If you cannot do this, ask around, especially if you happen to know a car seat tech. They might have some ideas if they've worked with your vehicle.

recline angle. If you're still having trouble, meeting with a technician is a great option.

Nothing should be between the baby and the seat or straps. Use of seat covers that interfere with the straps, or go behind your baby, or bulky snow suits are not permitted by the manufacturer and have not been tested with your seat.

There are safe options to keep baby warm... fleece suits that fit properly and don't require you to adjust the straps on your child's seat, and use blankets over top of the baby (but of course, don't cover the head).

When installing the convertible seat, it's better, and easier for you, to get in between the front and back seat, than using your weight to push it into the back of the car's seat with your knees, as well as down from the sides. Then pull the belt up through the belt path, instead of from the side. This will allow you to get a much tighter installation. Let the seat belt retract all the way back in and lock. Make sure your seat does not move more than one inch at the belt path. It should be less than one inch from side to side. It is ok for the top of the seat to move a little more at the other end, or move up and down. It's going to need to move a little to keep your baby safe in a collision, to cradle them. We have high standard for safety including rear-facing head excursion in Canada, so all seats pass the same testing minimums.

Nothing should be used between the child restraint and your vehicle's seat. The only exception to this is when using a pool noodles or a tightly rolled towel, to get the correct level. Sometimes people want to use this specifically in leather seated vehicles. I've seen some very good attempts destroyed by using a blanket or towel or even drawer line under it. These seem like great ways to help with sliding, but in reality it'll cause the seat itself to slide more.

Next, ensure proper use of the seat itself; straps on any rear-facing seat should be below or at the shoulders. It's instinctive for them to want to curl into a ball, or as in toddlers, they might dislike being strapped in, so make sure the bum is back every time they are in the seat. Check your manual to see when you need to move the strap out to the next setting, as some of them require it moved at a specific weight, or at a specific spot when using any included infant adjusting pillows. Make sure the straps are tight enough to securely hold your baby. You should pull the slack out of the straps at the hips, as this tends to be more common in convertible seats then infant only, then tighten them enough so you cannot pinch any slack at the shoulders. Then, make sure the chest clip is on the chest, not on the stomach, underarm level. Many times Have questions or want your car seat checked out? We can help you!

If you're having issues with baby's head falling forward, make sure the seat is at a proper recline.

Eventually I fell in love with the idea of playing slide guitar on an electric twelve-string, there?s just something immense and majestic about that sound and it?s become an integral part of the band?s recordings and live shows. I?ve had the white Gibson EDS-1275 double-neck I use onstage for about 8 years now and it?s certainly one of my favourite instruments, though it?s quite heavy,? explains Paul Deslauriers.

There is a full line-up of musical entertainment at Cornwall Musicfest.

Other bands playing are the Eagles tribute band One of These Nights, Cardboard Crowns, The Bard of Cornwall Jesse Ferguson, Nick Seguin, Mena Hardy, Bruce Ciccarelli, Tommy Heatley, Ryan & Amanda, and Chris Benton.

Organizers Davey Bedard and Jason Mitchell of Limelight Entertainment have partnered up with the Nav Centre and Corus Entertainment to make this event possible.

Cornwall Ontario ? The Paul Deslauriers Band along with Sean McCann of Great Big Sea and Brad Roberts of the Crash Test Dummies will each be co-headlining the first annual Cornwall Musicfest which takes place on Saturday August 20th at the Nav Centre.

There will be three stages for entertainment. Tickets for Cornwall Musicfest are $30 in advance or $40 at the gate the day of the show. The event is licensed and 19+, and alcoholic beverages will be permitted throughout the festival site.

It?s going to be a busy summer for Paul Deslauriers. In addition to Cornwall Musicfest, The award winning Paul Deslauriers Band will also be playing the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Mont Tremblant Blues Festival, and the Ottawa Bluesfest this summer. However there is something special for Paul Deslauriers in his returning to Cornwall to play a major outdoor music festival since the absence of Lift-Off. ?I?m truly pleased to see the return of an outdoor music festival in Cornwall. We were thrilled to play Lift-Off for the first time two summers ago, not knowing it would be the last edition, so obviously we were sad to see it go. It?s great to see Jason Mitchell and Davey Bedard carry the torch over and create Cornwall MusicFest. I?m quite pleased to be working with these two dynamic entrepreneurs again who have such a passion for music and for the City of Cornwall.

Festival concerts are often the highlight of our summer tours not only for the wonderful crowds we get to play to, but also for some of the great artists we get a chance to hear on the same bill. Obviously, I?m proud to be a hometown boy sharing the bill with members of these two legendary Canadian bands,? said Paul Deslauriers.

This past June The Paul Deslauriers Band released their new album Relentless and had an album release in Cornwall. The band which features guitarist and vocalist Paul Deslauriers, along with bassist Greg Morency and drummer Sam Harrison, created a hard-driving blues-rock album. The new album, which can be purchased at record shops or on iTunes, will also be available to purchase at Cornwall Musicfest. ?I wanted to do something special for the release of the new album, I thought it fitting to return to Cornwall and play the Relentless album for the very first time to a hometown audience. Cornwall has been very good to us every time we?ve returned, it was sort of my way of showing how special our fans here are to us. The new album follows in the footsteps of the last record, it?s a hard-driving blues-rock album, all original material this time written as a group, myself, our bassist Greg Morency and drummer Sam Harrisson. The album will definitely be available for purchase at Cornwall MusicFest. Folks can also purchase it at record shops, on iTunes or directly from our website,? Paul Deslauriers confirmed.

For those who have seen or will see Paul Deslauriers live in concert, he plays some songs on a very special guitar. Paul Deslauriers has played with an iconic white Gibson double-neck guitar for nearly a decade now. It is an instrument he quickly fell in love with, and it is now an integral part of his recordings and live shows. ?I began playing a double-neck guitar live about ten years ago. It has a twelve-string guitar on top and a six-string on the bottom. It?s a great instrument to use when a song requires different tunings, you can switch from one neck to the other at will for what you need to do.
