Last Wednesday evening was an interesting one. Rose and I became impresario's,
organizing a fund-raiser to help pay for some badly needed electrical upgrades
at Rose's horse club.
We brought in friend... Harpdog Brown, (he has a real first name, but he's
gone by Harpdog for so many years, that if you call him by his real name, he
usually will not respond!) and his "Traveling Blues Show".
Harpdog recently won "Canadian Harmonica Player of the Year" and his album
"What it is", made #32 on the top 100 blues albums, world-wide, last year. So,
while he's not an international star, he's certainly well known on the Canadian
Blues scene.
Now, Logan Lake is a small town, of some 2300 souls (and even that might be a
wee bit optimistic). We don't get many acts of national caliber and those we do
get are few and far between. Wednesday night was a sell-out crowd, something
not seen in our little burgh, in over 20 years.
The band was good and the place was rockin' until 12:45 am, in a town that
usually rolls up it's sidewalks by 8 pm.
Yesterday, the show was the talk of the town, and we are already making
arrangements to bring Harpdog &his trio back again, next year.
Best of all, after paying for the venue and the band, we still cleared nearly
$1000 for the club!
If the night was good, the lighting was "the balance of nature". Harsh, to say
the least. Nevertheless, here's Harpdog.
