Don't know Spaw, and I'm not sure I want to speculate.

Like the tourists in Germany, I rented a car to drive out there, from St. John's, while I was working in Nfld. during the '70's, just so I could say I'd been to Dildo. My summer students thought I was daft and kept asking me "Why do you want to go to Dildo? there's nothing there!"

They were right of course.

But during my stint in Newfoundland, I managed to take in probably one of the best Blues Bands I have ever heard in my life from Cornerbrook. (and I have had a front row seat in a small coffe house with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee) One never knows what gems you can find in unexpected places.
