I'll be adding a few more links when I get a chance.
These links are to places that I enjoy relative to the category as
noted. I have no affiliation with any site and I will try to keep
them information-related and non-commercial as much as possible.
If you notice any links not working I would appreciate you letting me
know.

Kiva.org
- as mentioned on my home page, this is an organization that
facilitates business loans to [very] small businesses in
underdeveloped areas of the world. All the relevant
information is on their web site -
click here to go to
their site. Many people including me have loaned small
amounts to many people who are working hard to improve their way
of life for their families. It is a way to help a few
people who would not have access to small loans without this
organization. Please check it out and consider making a
loan or two... Music Sites: Alternate Takes The home page for Alternate Takes. This is the jazz nonet that I perform with and you will find some sound clips on my Jazz page. Go to http://ottawa-blues-jazz.ncf.ca/ if you want lots of information about what's happening in the Ottawa jazz and blues scene. Updated regularly and you can sign up for the weekly jazz email here also. Highly recommended.
Check out these sites which are a great resource for more
information on Canadian jazz, jazz musicians and events -
