In spite of the cold and rain, several hundred brave souls sat in Bannerman Park last Friday night, listening to some great Canadian music. Rik Barron does songs for children and adults with that testosterone loaded huskiness of many Newfie men. A French speaking group from Quebec had everyone buzzed with high pitched, fast, klezmer-sounding songs.
Saturday afternoon was cancelled and I missed Saturday night's fun.
But Sunday was a day that will live in good memory forever. First, they moved everything into the local St, John's hockey rink/stadium. Secondly, the music went even further than Friday! To give you more of an idea about it I've collected some of my favorites on my YouTube channel, twinsbubbe2. Also there are several CDs enroute to Florida with more good stuff. If you can't get to my channel, search for No more Fish no Fishermen, Shelley Posen (Finer Kind), Sonnys Dream by Ron Hynes, Woman of Labrador and Ryan's Fancy. These are some of my top picks. Enjoy!
I'm hoping that the giant iceberg will be far south enough for me to see it this weekend. It's off of L'Anse aux Meadows today.
Although I'm beginning the trek home, still want to
a. see whales
b. see the Northern Lights
c. have a Jiggs Dinner
d. see one last moose
What could be better?!!!!!
Tonight is at Brigus, a sweet historic tourist town.
