    The Friendly City's outdoor park is set to become the regional summer home of bluegrass music.

    The inaugural Sally Creek Music Festival is scheduled for July 3 to 5 at Canada's Outdoor Park, known to Oxford as the home of Canada's Outdoor Farm Show each fall. The festival is being co-ordinated by the Thames Valley Bluegrass Music Association, a non-profit organization aimed at promoting bluegrass music throughout this part of the country.

    Festival organizer Gordon DeVries said the festival has already booked six leading American bluegrass bands based out of Nashville, Tenn., along with six of the best-known bluegrass groups from southwestern Ontario.

    "We've been working to build a bluegrass audience throughout the area," DeVries said. "Bluegrass has so many good values to offer -- this is a festive way for many people to get together in a convivial setting to listen to some great music and play a little themselves."

    After a series of successful concerts featuring bluegrass acts known throughout North America, the association wondered what a next step could be and a festival was a natural step on the progression. This area is no stranger to this sort of festival-- local resident Wayne Uncer, who connected the group with Canada's Outdoor Park, used to organize a bluegrass festival at the Pittock Conservation Area.

    Canada's Outdoor Park is seen as the ideal site for the festival given its size and its ability to host 500 to 1,000 campsites. The park easily hosts up to approximately 700 different vendors during the farm show and the three-year history of the Great Canadian Outdoor Expo. Both those events hosted an average of between 30,000 and 35,000 visitors over their respective three-day runs.

    "Canada' Outdoor Park is pretty near the only suitable site we've found in this region -- there were some other sites (up north) but this site is in our area and it's here we're interested in promoting this music," DeVries said. "The site is tailor-made for this sort of event."

    DeVries said he believes bluegrass music -- with the prominence it gives to fiddle, mandolin, guitar and banjo - can attract youth and give them something beneficial and responsible to do as they learn and play. Bluegrass festivals tend to provide more opportunity for those in the crowd to strike up their own jams back at their campsites after the stages have drawn to a close for the night, he said.

    Tickets for the entire weekend, including a campsite booking, are $75 until June 30, and $85 after that. Single-night tickets range between $30 and $40 depending on the night. DeVries said up to recently the association had only sold about a dozen tickets, but in the last week he's been receiving several calls a day.

    Confirmed groups from the U.S. include 3 Fox Drive, Grasstowne, Lonesome River Band, Nashville Bluegrass Band, Nothin' Fancy and The 'Spanky' Moore Bluegrass Band. Canadian talent includes Blackwell, Foggy Hogtown Boys, Foxtail, Leavin' Train, Roger James, New Cumberland and Northern Sons.

    There is one small planning matter before the festival can get a go-ahead-- city council must approve a zone change to allow the site to host a music festival on a seasonal basis. The public notice for the zone change has been circulated to neighbouring properties and is available on the Oxford County website -- the matter should be before council for approval in March.

    'Always Keep an Edge on Your Knife' - Corb Lund

    never put your hat on the bed, son,

    never put your hat on the bed

    cuz if your hat's on the bed

    you might wake up dead

    so don't ya never put ya hat on the bed

    and if you do be sure it’s upside down, son,

    if you do be sure it’s upside down

    cuz if there’s any doubt,

    it keeps the luck from runnin’ out

    so if you do be sure it’s upside down

    never throw a match when it's dry, son,

    never throw a match when it's dry

    don't you never throw a match

    cuz the grass might catch

    and burn three counties when it's dry

    always keep an edge on yr knife, son,

    always keep an edge on yr knife

    cuz a good sharp edge is a man's best hedge against the vague uncertainties of life

    yes, a good sharp edge is a man’s best hedge against the uncertain vagaries of life

    but i never could sharpen no knife, like the one who gave the advice

    and I never could sharpen no blade, quite the way he sayed

    yodel-ay yodel-ay yodel-ooooh

    never sell the old .22, son,

    never sell the old .22

    cause the old .22’s

    shot a gopher or two

    so don'tcha never sell the old .22

    aim it to the left, a little low, son,

    aim it to the left, a little low

    cuz the old iron sight

    fires high and to the right

    so aim it to the left, a little low

    always tip the glass when you pour son, always tip the glass when you pour

    cuz if you don't tip the glass,

    well the foam, it comes fast

    and runs from the table to the floor

    always put your horse away dry, son,

    always put your horse away dry

    cuz a hot, wet horse

    ain’t healthy of course

    so always put your horse away dry

    and be sure to thaw the bit when it’s cold, son, be sure to thaw the bit when it’s cold

    cuz if you don’t thaw the bit

    then your pony’s tongue sticks

    to the frozen, metal bridle when it’s cold

    never judge a man by his clothes, son,

    never judge a man by his clothes

    you gotta look through the dirt

    and, lord, judge him by his worth

    don'tcha never judge a man by his clothes

  25. So Schwa. walks into a library...

    Schwa's walking by the convent late one evening when he's overcome with desire. He sees a nun rushing along the garden path. After a long and winded chase, he finally corners the frightened lass and has his way with her. As he buttons up his fly he asks her, "So what will you tell the Almighty Father now?"

    She replies, " I must tell the truth. I will tell Him that I was rushing home to the convent when I was overcome by a ravenous sociopath who raped me twice...unless you're tired."
