Roger Marin Played Regina Tonight, The Crowd Was Small But Mighty!
Tuesday night after a long weekend in a sleepy government town isn’t the easiest sell so it was a small crowd. (“How small was it, Jason?” Well, there was a bigger crowd when I saw Roger play in a friend’s garage in Calgary ten years ago.) But I still enjoyed the show – after a […]
