Yes, we (t@b) left the ville of the wolf on Friday late afternoon and went to Antigonish, where we played a short set on Saturday morning for a women’s solstice celebration. Jan McKay, Shauntay Grant, Emmy Alcorn, Molly Thomason, Jess and Greg and many others were performing as well. Note: I was one of only three men in a great hall filled with women only. I had dressed my left arm in drag, hoping that all those woman wouldn’t notice. The other two daring male specimens were Fred, the sound guy and Greg, accompanist for his partner Jess. The show went great. We sold a bunch of CD’s, made a bunch of new contacts and many new friends.

We hung about town until early afternoon with our trumpeteer friend Caleb Hamilton, before leaving for our evening gig at the sessions cafe in Rothesay, NB. Now that’s a place! or maybe I should say, was, a place. Sobey’s who seems to own the place where the venue is located, is tearing down the building and the future of the venue is unknown. Jason Myers and his beautiful voice (accompanied by Ariana‘s violin) opened for us to a fairly small crowd composed mostly of his friends, staff, and their friends. It was strange playing the second show on June 20 in a different province, (our first ever NB show btw,) but the show went over great. We sold four or five CD’s to about 16 people, met most of them, in fact, and had a great time at a famous venue…

It’s been a good nap at Jason’s Cabin and mostly eating clicks ever since. Yesterday we gave Quebec about six and a half hours of our lives before landing in Cornwall for sleep, shower, stocktaking etc…. Today (Monday, June 22) we’ll be divin’ into the big ugly, to meet our niece Bianca from Switzerland, Jazzmin, Sara, Hanspeter, Amin and lots of friends. Family day! Yay!
