WOW!!! What a timely post!!!
Rick YESTERDAY at breakfast on Orleans, off Quebec I said the same thing. I played with Denise, the fiddler from the Bouteen Souriant Friday night, and could not get off the stage, the audience went nuts... there is now some strong interest from some pub owners in bringing my band to Canada for a tour BUT there is a prohibitive tarriff... WAIT A SECOND!!! Didn't we sign a piece of trash treaty that said if I want to sell Mexican built trucks in Toronto through a corp based in New York, that's OK????? No restrictive Tarriffs? As a lawyer going to Canada to look into human rights abuses I was WELCOMED!!!! But at the border when they heard I made my living as a musician I was treated like a criminal!!! My wife and I were pulled over and questioned...
But, I still want to look into a tour of Toronto Montreal and Quebec because the audiences were GREAT (for the benifit of Canadian government folks, I was playing for free this time...)
What timing, eh
