What's wrong with this picture?
Last weekend we had a great evening concert in the Green
Frog Tearoom at Pinecroft by some local boys in a band called Snuffy Jenkins.
The lead singer and songwriter Brian Abbey had been with The Dixie Flyers for
40 years. He is an awesome songwriter and they put on a dynamite show. These
are local boys from the little town of Aylmer.
I looked at Brian’s shoes, his sweater, his jeans and thought my why
isn’t he well clad??? He oughta be on top of the world. What we sacrifice to make art is amazing. He
looked like he loved what he was doing and that my friends and $1.25 will get
ya a coffee at the local donut store. Most of us that don’t have independent
means and are trying to make work off the beaten path have subsidized this life
with all we can muster. Hey if you have an extra $10 bucks order a Snuffy
Jenknins CD. www.snuffyjenkins.ca I’ve been listening to it all day long. Good
stuff from the heart.
