Full house. What can I say. Three exceptionally great performers all in one room. They started on time (being 8 p.m.) and didn't want to quit come 10:30 however all good things do come to a closure.
The audience were as good as the musicians. In this case, for two and a half hours it was quiet as a mouse. That is until their song ended. Then the applause lifted the roof.
It was very special to have Mike Regenstreif and his wife present. As some of you may know that it was Mike that booked Bruce for the first opening of the "Golemn(sp.)Coffee House" that he ran in the 60ties. I hope I have that right Mike? Bruce was in great form this evening and as I looked around I was not surprised to see so many in the audience singing to the chorus of his songs. Thanks Buddy.

I got home about 15 minutes ago but those boys I think will be picking and grinning till the wee hours. Ron put on his usual. Which was a mesmerizing aw striking guitar and voice performance. Tom's songs blew everyone away. He also brought tears to some of the folks including myself.

Thank you Tom for stopping by in this little hick town south west of Montreal. You will be spoken about for a long time. Best wishes in your continued travels and at this point I will also wish you have a great time next week when you meet up with my brother Norman for an evening of song.
