Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Sonny / Sonny's Dream (Ron Hynes)
About 5 years ago i went to Newfoundland to take in the Folk Festival being held in St. John's. While at the festival I met a man who gave me hell because I bought a moose burger from a stand that was not his. "Why didn't you buy it here at this stand. I provide the meat here ". I apologized and then realized that I was speaking to Ron Hynes. He followed up by saying " You main landers will believe anything".   We spoke for a while and he asked where I was from and what I did. I told him I was retired but kept myself busy running a folk festival. He said "Why don't you book me". I replied that I wouldn't be able to afford him. He said "How do you know? call my business agent in Dartmouth Nova Scotia and talk to her". He was very serious. I told him that in fact I would be in Dartmouth in less than 2 weeks as I was going there taking my grand son to visit.
I met Lynn Horne at Chapters book store and in less than an hour we parted not but shaking hands but by hugging each other and with an agreement that Ron would come to Quebec and play at our festival.
Great lady
