The World Awaits You featuring keynote performance by the famous Canadian personality - Fred Penner and finale encore by sitar maestro Irshad Khan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled by camel into the middle of the rajasthani desert in India, 40 km away from the border of Pakistan. I slept there over night with the Bedouins... and I could not stop laughing and laughing and laughing. No one would have ever found me.
