Thread Name: Ormstown Branches and Roots Festival (Quebec)
Subject: RE: Folklore: Branches and Roots Festival
p.s, I've been known to be not one to promote myself, much to the consternation of serious promoters. Since Beer asked the names of my music-mates at fest #2. We were just coming down from a great reunion of VEBB/ the New Generation in '03... a big blow out with the musical kids and the ol' farts on the Plains of Abraham at Festivale d'Ete du Quebec, also live TV (well, that's debatable), on French CBC. It's called RDI or something, also simulcast on CHOM- FM in MTL, (which was another 1st).... anyhow , had a nice time with old friends, some family, and pay tribute to a few who could't make it. Like Le Gros Pierrre Nadeau.... Raoul Dugauy put words to 'Ordinare", Charlebois' hit, way back.... one of the many 'moments' of magic in spite of the b.s. surrounding such an event... okay I'm starting to ramble like Bob Risky-wits.... so I was already getting ready for some serios studio time... so, we were hanging and playing as an spinoff to the 'main show'..... went on to record "Insurgent Sun", got to field-test a couple of tunes in Ormstown.... you can hear me and the Michels on 'The Spell' along with Dacajewiah-Splitting the Sky and Kahntineta Horn.... some of the stuff from that year...... you can hear this on myspace/ Ron Bankley ...'or like,something'... so much for promo... but it'll put a smile on your ears.... I'm with friends on both ends...
