I can hardly wait for our festival to be over in order to get on the plane to Newfoundland for their Festival. http://www.nlfolk.com/
Great line up with David Francey and hundreds of others. As well a special presentation to Ron Hynes ( Noted for around the globe for Sonny's Dream.)for his contributions to the arts.
Yes a little "Rock Music". Aug. 4th, 5th. and 6th. But the party begins on the (2nd.)second.

Wish I could go with you, Beer. Bring us back some new material for the archives at GEST Songs Of Newfoundland And Labrador, eh? :-)

Just back from the "Rock", Newfoundland that is. "Yes by!" as those wonderful people say. Ron Hynes was presented with a "Life Achievement Award" by the St. John's Folk Arts Council. Many musicians were up on stage and sang songs written by him. Ron then thanked everyone then sang a song yet to be released title "This House". I do not lie in saying that it brought tears to my eyes. If there are sentimental listeners out there get his most recent c/d if you like to cry in your beer/wine/smoke/lines/ or what ever.

Well Gnu, I arrived the day of the Regatta and it was a very wet day. They did get it in however. I did George Street a couple of times. I've been screeched in a couple of times before so I didn't take advantage this time. Was at Chess's for their scoff. starting to get expensive though.
Had a wonderful time. Got to start saving to go back.
