I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for their support for my memoir, Playing the Changes. Thank you so much to everyone who has purchased a book and who came out to one of the book events around Canada over these past two weeks. It was such a pleasure getting to meet so many of you. I didn’t know what to expect as it was obviously a very different way of being ‘on the road’ for me…no guitar?? What??…but I had such a great time. It was especially cool getting to be back in Regina for the first time since finishing the book. I took Heather around town and showed her many of the spots mentioned in the book, as pictured here. It was a lot of fun. We just found out Playing the Changes is currently number 2 on the Toronto Star’s best sellers list for Canadian non-fiction. So awesome. Thank you all. -Colin Photo 2- Wascana Park in Regina Photo 3- The bandshell at Wascana park where my band played when I was around 15Photo 4- The old Greyhound station where I began the many adventures mentioned in the book
It’s book release day! Writing this memoir was truly such a fantastic experience for me. Everyone I have worked with on this project has been so amazing. Thank you so much to all who had a hand in making it happen. After over six years in the making, I am so happy to finally have this book out in the world. I sincerely hope you enjoy it. - ColinGrab your copy wherever books are sold! 📚 #playingthechanges #colinjames
