Erik Mongrain with Michael Manring - Part 2

Maelstrom -
Even though they never met, Michael Manring composed superb bass tracks on 2 of Erik's songs on his last album.
Usually during live shows Benoit ( his manager ) plays the lines with Erik.
For the Canadian Guitar Festival Manring was invited to do a show and a workshop on the same day as Erik. So I asked Michael to play instead of Benoit for that night without telling Erik... ( He really had no idea it would happen.)

Here's the result of the surprise and the "meeting" of these 2 virtuosos.
Sorry for the quality !
Josee (Erik's manager)

This must have been an awesome experience. I love Michael's music ("Selene" really might be the single most beautiful solo song I've ever heard).

Were you ever a busker? If so, when was the last time you busked? Do you still do it from time to time for the sheer enjoyment and freedom of it? like in small towns where the media won't harass you?

[guitar554]
