Jeff’s Birthday at Rag Pickers

Last night we celebrated Jeff Andrew’s birthday at Rag Pickers Viva Libra Theatre in Winnipeg. We introduced Winnipeg to Jack Garton, of Maria In The Shower’s special birthday song. We made a canal and we stomped and sang –

“Oh Vagina!
Oh ooo, oh vagina!
Blessed be the vagina
You were evicted from!”

The people of the Peg really took to the task and made a most impressive display of squishing our squirming Jeff Andrew on his way through the human tunnel. Thank you, Winnipeg! I assure you that you made Mr. Andrew’s Birthday Spectacular!

Ottawa valley pit stop…

On our way to Ottawa from Quebec city we made some pit stops. First in Montreal for a quick coffee, leg stretch and bagel grab. I spent the majority of our time in Montreal perched on a street corner in a phone interview with a Thunder Bay music journalist. It was grand to be amid the hustle bustle of afternoon coffee chats on patios and to hear the music of George Brassens in the bakery I grabbed a tea in.
After we reconvened and piled back into the van we decided to stop in on an old friend in the Ottawa valley. We showed up at the workplace of the fabulous Lyndel Montgomery. I hadn’t seen Lyndel in almost 7 years! The visit resulted in a spontaneous jamboree!

Here are some pics:
