Go tell it on another mountain

Okay, "special" announcement for the 5 "special" people who actually spend time reading this puppy. And by "special" I am more or less referring to people who grew up in Saskatchewan. They are always just a wee bit behind. Oh wait, I was born in Moose Jaw, SK.   Need I say more.  Well, yes, I do actually.  My good friend Jon was born in Saskatoon, SK and still has a difficult time pointing out a combine.   "Special." 

Moose Jaw claims to be the "Band Capital of North America - I kid you not.  I have never seen a band come from there, play there, or rehearse within 5 miles of the place.   I even think trooper skips it on their tour.  I cannot even think of one person who is part of a band who comes from MJ.


Yet, I do know there is a large moose statue on the edge of town, but I do not believe he is carrying an instrument of any kind.



I am launching "Video Hits Friday's" (affectionately named after Canada's best ever music video show "Video Hits").  This latest piece of video goodness came from one of my Moose Jaw fans - who amazingly plays in a band but sadly, recently moved to Eyebrow.   So no luck with the whole "Band Capital of the World" deal.  Enjoy the Neudorf's.

  2. I swear that you can see the girl blinking "please save me" We will see her wedding announcement to Helmut Doerksen(as the proud 5th sister wife) in the Herald.

    That is definitely a rich practice we have lost out on - the forced participation in a parents misguided attempt to form family singing troupes. Ah for the good ol' days of kids in bad polyester pounding out notes to song they hate.

    I yearn for 1980's Waldheim - or last week in Coaldale.
