The rain (and thunder and lightening) on Friday night made me feel like I was back home in southwest Florida but the vibe inside the barn at the jam session was an indicator that this was going to be a special weekend......and oh Lordy, what a great day Saturday turned out to be. What a great evening concert!!

Are there any instruments that Jou Tou do not know how to play? And hey, if he's going to sing a song about Verdun and Pointe St. Charles....I'm all in!

And what to say about that marvelous set by Bruce Murdoch? Oh my, I closed my eyes and listened and I was transported back to the late sixties in Montreal. And how about Ron Bankley's version of "A Fool Like Me" and their combined (and different) versions of "Last Man Standing")?

Later, I sat with Bruce and Jeri and April, listening to Garnet Rogers and watching the moon rise over the festival site....Perfect!!

Let's first of all give kudos to Adrien (Beer) who made this event happen. But he is not alone....Gary and Linda (MacMillan) Upton who hosted the event, my new friends Fred and Ruth Sundborg who taught me more about dairy farming in one weekend than I thought I could possibly know, Joe Byrd, and many, many, more.

This afternoon, I drove from Adrien's to Pierre E. Trudeau Airport at Dorval with Bruce's new cd and later, drove from Miami to Ft. Myers with both that cd and "Crossing North".

End of a perfect weekend!

Cheers,

Ken
