Thanks Beer: Hey Penny, playing with Buffy and Kris is where you should be Wildwoman!
Don McGowan, yes. There was a Blood Donor Clinic way back when and the neurons are trying to remember if I was playing there to entertain the troops, or if I was giving blood, or both. The Mind, what a tool! Anyhound, Don McGowan is a class act all-around. Met him at the clinic. One of those personalities you just don't forget. Humble and with the dry humour and wit. Some of you may remember his wearing of the Canadian flag on his back during the Referendum vote in Quebec during his weather forecast on T.V. Not allowed to say anything, but that spoke volumes...
CFCF, yes,(Or maybe CBC, my goodness...) did one of my first appearances on T.V. there. They let Folksingers out of their cages and put 'em on T.V. back then, for all of you young-un's. I believe it was me, Sean Gagnier, and one other performer(maybe Tex?) I just don't remember...Anyway, I'm sitting on the stool in front of the cameras and I see the mic's a bit low, so I try to touch it and a voice comes out of the darkness/control room, " Don't TOUCH that!" Then 3, count 'em 3, stagehands come over and lift the mic 1". The Union... Silly little Folksinger. I still remember walking in the darkness of the soundstage going in. I'm pretty sure it was Sean, who turns to me, and here I can't remember who said it. THE BIG TIME! Lol. But, I remember that weird little chuckle that Sean used to have when he met up with something truly strange...
Back to the thread. Didn't know it was Don who gave Penny the title, but it seems to have stuck....Penny, if you're reading this...big Hugs from Cyberspace and the new album is just great. Roma got you to use that voice in new ways and it's workin' fine! xoxo bob
