True Patriot Love

Happy Canada Day!

Thanks to my American employer I don't get Canada Day as a stat so I had to take a vacation day to be off today. But given the fact that there was a kick-ass free show in Saint John on Canada Day eve it was an easy call to make.

This was the 3rd Canada Day Countdown that I was able to attend and this was by far the best. Not to disparriage the other ones; this one was just that good. We arrived to grey but dry skies and got to see the end of the Got to Get Gots. They sounded good but the beer was getting most of my attention at that point. David Myles took the stage next and put on a good show. He has expanded beyond his folksy roots and added a nice blues angle that he pulls off well. He really picked it up at the end and got the crowd moving for the headliner, Joel Plaskett and the Emergency.

Plaskett got on stage at about 11:30 and launched into a hit filled set that absolutley sizzled. It was probably the best show I have seen in a little while. Nice work Craiger.

Now off to the fireworks.

Pace out.

The clip art you have chosen is most interesting. The little girl is a character from one of my favorite movies called "Spirited Away." Her name is Chihiro.
