Distilling Lester McLean Trio

I spent the afternoon yesterday walking around the Distillery District looking at the Pure Spirit Lofts and the newly opened showroom for the http://www.clearspiritliving.com/Clear Spirit Lofts, the only 2 residential buildings in the pedestrian only area in the District. The units are nice and well appointed, but the premium for the location is pretty steep, over $450/sq.ft., plus parking ($28000) and locker ($3800). I enjoyed reading over the propoganda (err, information) at the Pure Sprits Patio, drinking a very good glass of Mill St. Belgian Wit beer and taking in the sounds of the Lester McLean Trio. The beer was good, but the music was great. So good I bought the new album, Best Foot Forward. It has 6 new tracks and 7 great covers. My favourite is the last track, written by Lester, Hold On. If you are planning to go down to the Distillery District, make it one of the afternoons this trio is performing (details), you will not be disappointed. You can sample and buy the album here.

    Hey Mark,

    I’d never seen your article today.

    Thanks very much for your kind words.

    We’ll be back in the Distillery this Summer for sure.

    Best to you,

    Lester
