It was my Birthday yesterday, today is Canadas Birthday. I had a great time last night. Went out for supper with my daughter, then took in the festivities at the Osbourne street festival. I got to check out a friends new bluegrass band, and went to a house party/concert where my mandolin player was playing drums in a rock band. Soon I plan on heading back down to the street fest and trying out my luck doing some busking. I have not done that in years. Later tonight it`s over to Hooligans pub to take in the Washboard Hank show. HAPPY CANADA DAY!!
