My Celebrity Debut by Ed Power, April 2019 issue

My Celebrity Debut by Ed Power, April 2019 issue

My husband and I were very interested to read Ed Power's story about meeting Alan Doyle in your April 2019 issue. We too were very lucky to meet Ed Power and his family in 2004 on a trip to Cuba. After arriving at the airport in Cayo Cocoa to head to our resort, there were a number of Newfoundlanders on our bus. One man leaned over to my husband and said, I saw a guy has a guitar. My husband said that might be me. Ed Power and his family were at the same resort as us and were their for his daughters wedding. Anyway, we all had an instant connection and each night in the lobby of the hotel (with permission from the resort) Ed, my husband Angus and our friend Dave played the guitars and sang for a large group of other Maritimers and want to be Maritimers at the resort. It was a lot of fun and although I felt sorry for the new arrivals coming to Cuba and hearing Maritime music instead of the Caribbean music they were expecting, it was a ton of fun. I recall a lady there with her elderly father who wanted to sing an irish ballad. We all became instant family and many of us were invited to the wedding during the week. Just this morning I was looking through some old CD's and came across Ed Power's cd he sent to us after we returned home. And then we opened our Downhomer magazine to find the post on page 90 where he met Alan Doyle. Over the years we have had fond memories of this particular trip to Cuba where we met Ed and his family.
