"the importance of one moment, one action by one person and how it can transform the lives of others. "

We often don't know how we affect others with whom we cross paths. I'm glad those of you who were privileged to meet the gentleman also have been rewarded with the knowledge that you and the music made a difference.

Thanks for posting, Dorothy.

Sublime, Dorothy; I only know of one other person who "checked out" in style that well. The patriarch of a friend's family lived a comparable span. He finished Sunday dinner with the family, pushed back and said "That was sure good", and died instantly.

Just back from a long day in Peru New York. My accordion buddy and I played at an Apple Fest for 1 & 1/2 hours and had a great time. Looks as if we are already booked to play next year.

Stuart was a special person who just loved music. He would always say to me at the end of or during the evening event that he wished he had brought his guitar. Well maybe he is playing now.
Dorothy your words are very special and thanks for posting.

I met the gentleman at Apple Hollow, and I'm sad to hear of his passing. However it sounds like he went peacefully and happily, that's all any of us can ask.
Thanks for the post Dorothy,

JM

Here I am again, stressing the importance of one moment, one action by one person and how it can transform the lives of others.

If I had not found out about Apple Hollow, I would not have come to Quebec; my friends would not have accompanied me, with their 95 year old dad, to the Fest; we would not have discovered how much dad loved music; he would not have enjoyed the last two months of his life as much as he did. He perked up! He had fun places to go! He had FUN!

After the Fest, we took him to every possible music event, especially the Cafe Namasthe in Ormstown every Friday. He had a blast. He loved every minute of these musical events. When he died, instantly last Saturday night while watching TV with family and friends, he knew he was loved and appreciated. On Friday we were at the Cafe; 24 hours later he left us. He told us "his Dorothy" was there with us and within half an hour, he was gone. (His wife Dorothy died 13 months ago at 97.)

Daily, he would ask, "where were we?" "Oh, yes. They really like me there!" Such delight in the music, the people who spoke with him, the women who "danced" with him in his walker.

His two sons are totally grateful for this very special part of dad's life that would never have happened if it were not for Apple Hollow.

So we, family and friends, thank, with all our hearts, Adrien and all those who made that Fest possible. It enriched many lives, including that of Stuart Doak,

Back In The Clydesdale
by Mike Campbell 2004

I went to the bar after working all day,
And ordered a dark Guinness Beer.
But the Yuppies were chatting so thick on their cell phones,
I guess the barman did not hear.
He brought me a glass and a tall boy of Bud,
And set them down in front of me,
Well I coughed and I sputtered in pure disbelief,
And sang out this chorus with glee.

OOOOO
Put that Budweiser back in the Clydesdale,
Its not the right flavor for me.
The color's all wrong and there's not enough foam,
And its got all the kick of weak tea.
Now pour me a pint of that good Guinness Stout,
With color you cannot see through.
Put that Budweiser back in the Clydesdale, boys,
And pour me a beer that is true.

Then the waitress came by when I'd finished my first one,
An angry young woman named Jill,
She snatched up my empty without even looking,
And went off to find a refill.
Then she brought back a glass of some pale liquid garbage,
And said, "Here's the Bud you asked for."
Well I gave her a glare that would knock down a horse,
And sang out this chorus once more.

Chorus

So if ever you're seeking a beer with good flavor,
To finish your day or your meal.
If they serve you a Millers, a Coors or a Bud,
Or some other brand that ain't real,
If the "King of Beers" is the only selection,
I hope that you'll answer like this,
Put that Budweiser back in the Clydesdale, boys,
I won't drink twelve ounces of that lousy beer.

Chorus

I agree with Maeve, Ad. It's hard to get good shots of people while they're singing. Their faces are screwed up, their mouths are open or they're doing something else with their faces, and he got some wonderful photos.

So last year, we did laundry (actually April did it) and the dryer did NOT work. Clothes got spread out in the back of her station wagon to dry, and *somebody's* dainties got hung on a peg over the table, accented by a flyswatter and draped with a dish towel. A lovely still life.

I think the fact I took a picture at all had a lot to do with gin... or maybe it was the tonic. I can tell you the description of the scene is a lot funnier than the actual evidence. And some things should be shrouded in mystery. Other things call for a HazMat team and a lot of plastic, but just keeping them off the internet is a first step.

Now I'm cracking up; the way Bruce "briefed the briefs", "FotLs", I went dense and was thinking the reference was to shorts, as in visible on stage, not his ...umm.., training panties. I'm just used to FotLs as tighty whities. Bruce, do you you have pairs embroidered with "2007, 2008, 2009, 2010..."?

I'm glad a picture finally turned up of my favorite girlfriend singing on Friday night.

Beer, great photos. The lively spirit of the festival shines through. Thanks.

But should we really hide discussion of the color of Peace's small clothes in this thread? Think of the ethnomusicologists who will search for these details in the next century...

But probably. Way back it took me about a year and a half to be rid of my pink underwear. I'd washed a brand-new red t-shirt with some white FotLs. And bleach. In hot water. Who knew? The red also ran into the FotLs that were green and I think I got some brown FotLs as a result.
