I have just blown in from New Brunswick. I played 11 shows all over the province and had a great time !

Here are the Stats:

1. The Kids !
2. The Flag - check it out - a viking ship and lion
3. The Bay of Fundy
4. The Bay of Fundy ! It's humongus ! and it has the biggest tides in da world !!!
5. An amazing number of towns and cities named after Saints
6. In one of those Saint places (St. Stephen) the first chocolate candy bar was invented.
7. Did I mention the Bay of Fundy ?
8. The Confederation Bridge (another biggy)
9. Lots of cool old buildings
10. The World's largest AXE !
    

oh yeah, in another St. Place (St. George) there is a wonderfully unusual store that sells vegies, fruit, pinatas, and my tapes and CD's. It's called The Country Store.

Simple Pimple Rules:
I show you a picture from the songbook and you tell me what the title of the song is. Then I put all the correct answers in a hat and pick out a bunch of winners.
The prizes will be cool and unusual !
