0611.21-Best wishes from an old friend [BCNG]:

If you play, sing and live on Gabriola it is highly likely you have taken lessons from Lou Gradanti. Regardless of age, musical level, or style, he's got something to teach everyone, culled from 50 years of making music. But the chances are even greater that you won't succeed like his most famous protege. "Lou, thanks for all the lessons. Best wishes from an old friend, Shania Twain," reads an autographed photo on the wall of the Octave Studio, where he writes music in his home-based studio. He doesn't talk about Twain much, he's too busy playing, writing, and teaching 85 students. But he's staging 24 of his original songs at the Gabriola Community Hall, Saturday (Nov. 25), including one he wrote for her that she hasn't heard yet. "Years ago when I was playing with my band in Sudbury, Ont., I was approached by a couple during a break," he recalled. "They asked me if their little girl Eileen could sing something with us. "I said sure and wow, she had a lot of power and emotion," Gradanti said. "They were poor and didn't know what to do with her talent and determination, so they asked me if they could visit me in Toronto." At 11 years of age, the young Eileen Twain began staying with Gradanti and his wife in the big city, on and off, for about five years. He taught her how to sing, especially harmony and how to play the guitar. "I brought her onstage with my band and I was playing piano on the TV show Opry North, so I got her on TV for the first time, drove her around to radio stations for interviews and to gigs, got her started," Gradanti said. He lost touch until she called with bad news: her folks had been killed in a car accident. That's when he wrote You Made It All Right, a song that a grateful young woman sings to her fiercely dedicated mother.

Some behind the scenes pictures of Shania at her perfume photo shoot in Spain have surfaced. You can see them here. Thanks to Rita-ItalianFan from STNAOFC for finding them.

0611.05-CMT 40 Days that changed country:

CMT aired their special "40 Days That Changed Country Music". As expected it was another lame CMT production. Most of the forty choices made no sense. Shania was only mentioned twice. One at #35 for Meeting Mutt, and another at #10 for the release of Come On Over. You can see video captures here.  (and to top it all off, they spelled her name wrong. It should be spelled Eilleen. Nice research CMT!
