I went up to Fort St.
John Alaska Highway 75th
Anniversary” CD. Recited my short rhyme, “The Road That Couldn’t Be Done” and
sang a couple of songs from the era.
I managed not to have to re-write any of them too badly and
didn’t fall of the stage or anything.
I missed some of the presentation but what I heard was very
well done by all; A good presentation.
It reminded me that I wanted to post some artists I like
very much.
Here is the Gibson Brothers who usually put on their Sunday
go t’ mettin’ clothes for their shows, something we all used to do and I
enjoyed it. Now days it “just isn’t done.” This is the video for one song so it
is short … probably to short considering the caliber of work.

The next one is a group called “Iron Horse.” I heard this
done by our MLA (Dawson Creek mayor
at the time) and though he did an amazing job it wasn’t anything like this.

The next video is of the Luckett County Fair and it gives
some idea of the open, friendly atmosphere at a Bluegrass Festival. The first
two fellas (Patent Pending) do a great job jamming and the next presentation is
the Hillbilly Gypsies.

Gypsies)
I don’t know the next group but I wouldn’t be surprised if
they prove to be from Stoney Creek , Ontario Hamilton ). This is a video trailer
for one of their releases and the brush looks much like what I have experienced
along Blue Mountain

Band
The last is a most of a live show from the Steel Drivers and
is about 45 minuets in length. There is amazing harmony and musicianship all
through but the gospel number right at the start is outstanding.

Enjoy … and if you need more entertainment, well try one of
my novels.
By the way, a comment on any of these videos would be much
appreciated both by me and the entertainers putting on the show(s).
