Calamity Jane Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 OMGthat's hilarious to think we crossed paths without knowing it. that's exactly when Dave & I hooked up (and what a great soundtrack to that time in my life do those pub nights/recordings make!!!)you should talk to Dave about some of the old Kingston freaks you would both know.Does the Barrack Street "speakeasy" mean anything to you?we can burn some Pat Temple for ya if you'd like.....

Calamity Jane Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 and to get this thread back on track....I was delighted by the news that he has a new CD due out.I woke up today to the Willie P/Bruce Cockburn collaboration called "Last Word"I agree entirely paise with your description of the man/performer....and I applaud your imagery, Sir Licker of the Toads, for I don't believe I could EVER have come up with: "if you get to talk to him its like conversing with a meadow atop a cliff near the ocean"with your permission, can I use this in my senior English courses as an example of an excellent & original simile?(I'm really not kidding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Jane Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 thanks for that Tim.... he's also playing in Bancroft on the 22nd. Maybe we should all meet for a mid-winter cottage retreat long-weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) Nice!! Willie P is a legend and he lives full time in Peterborough. Check this out! I think he plays in Fred Eaglesmith's band most the time too these days. "Weeping Snow" is about as close as you can get to classic Canadian bluegrass.
