Saturday Snap – “God’s Lighting Rig” @reginafolkfest #rff19

We haven’t been to Regina Folk Fest for a few years since we got our RV and now tend to be camping every weekend in the summer. But since it was the RFF’s 50th Anniversary this year, we decided to cut camping short this weekend so we could catch at least part of the festival. […]

Music Monday – “I’ve been drinkin’ to remember and drinkin’ to forget/I got “I love you” on my mind, I got Jim Beam on my breath”

Music Monday – “Raising hell with the hippies and the cowboys/They don’t care about no trends/They don’t care about songs that sell”

When we’re camping in Weyburn I can’t help but think how I’m basically the hippie surrounded by a big herd of cowboys. But the point of this song stands – people who seem to be opposites can still get along if they see their commonality in defining their own tastes without giving in to trends […]

(Belated) Saturday Snap – Disappointed I Didn’t Win The Canada Day Contest This Year

I can’t find a reference to it on my blog which is sort of surprising since I’ll take any validation I can get! But anyhow, last year, the campground we have a seasonal site had a Canada Day decorating contest and since we were new and wanted to make a good impression, we went all […]

(Belated) Music Monday – “He’s acting tough and taking names/And shuttin’ us down/But at least we got something to talk about/When Monday rolls around”

Music Monday – “Mama said “she’s my brothers daughter” and I don’t even know who’s my father/I guess she’s my cousin but she needs some sweet lovin’ anyway!”

When did I get into banjo music?!? Isn’t it music for inbred rednecks? 😉 “Banjo Odyssey” – The Dead South from Regina, Saskatchewan (who took some criticism for playing with those banjo/inbreeder stereotypes and issued an explanation in response)

Friday Fun Link – The Mighty Mighty Bosstones “The Impression That I Get” (Except The Genre Changes Every 15 Seconds)

This is pretty cool, not least for how it features some pretty unique genres compared to most of the “same song in a range of genres” videos that usually do variations of fairly mainstream rock -> country -> jazz -> folk styles. (via MetaFilter) And here’s the original for the record…
