Big Mick. Your 9 to 10 hours away. Your also from Red Wing country. "Go Wings Go". Was at to old Olympia 4 times. Back to the topic.
I don't think there is a passport required to come to Canada. I go to N/York state once a month to play at a coffee house and have no problem. And some musicians do the same by coming here with the same results. Then again it just may depend on the border guard. Someone else may be able to answer this better than I.
If this becomes a do as Big Mick suggests than I will begin working on organizing help from this end.
Ragdall I was just kidding of course   Especially if your from Canada. And Sinsull I understand your concern. I assure you this. Every Mudcatter would be welcomed. Maybe this is exactly what is needed to mend a few fences.
