On July 24th, 2007 - I become 60
years old.
I will be playing a concert at the Park
Theatre in Winnipeg to celebrate this momentous event.
The "Park" is a fantastic place. The theatre
was built in 1914 - which makes it older than me - and is currently
being run by Erick & Melanie as a video theatre, cafe, and live
music forum for the Manitoba area. The stage reminds me of my old
"coffee house" days and I fell in love with it at first sight. A
concert performance was a must have.
Marita - bless her soul - rented the hall for
me as a birthday present and the performance is on. I intend to sit
for 3 hours and play my old folk/blues/country tunes until my
fingers fall off or my voice fails.
Check
out the poster - I am the old guy :))
The concert is on Tuesday, July
24th, 2007. The theatre holds about 225 people and has the most
comfortable seats anywhere. Most seats have a table in front where
you can enjoy drinks and snacks or some of the best pizza in Canada.
The evening starts at 7:00 pm and
ends at 10:00 pm. Drop-ins are more than welcome - I do not
expect a "captive" audience :)
There is no entry fee but we will
take up a voluntary collection. Half the money will help pay the
hall rental, the other half will be donated to Variety - The
children's charity.
I will be putting new strings on
my old Guild twelve string. It is going to sound as sweet as a bank's
error in your favor :))
