Hamilton Ontario

July 4

A day which means a lot to so many Citizens of the USA. I am one, but in Canada today, today it is a sunny Sunday. Still unsure why I came here, much got forgotten in the long drive, and the bad dreams that night. I broke fast with a lovely breakfast, hand cooked just foe me, and lots of COFFEE. Began my transformation from local district nurse to INTERNATIONAL Rock chic. As An American, in a foreign country, what better to do than to go to a concert by other foreigners? Where can I go see such a thing?

First up, I must obtain the coin of the realm, and learn the local language. Surprisingly, I can figure out both the money and the lingo, must be my superior intellect, to pick up a strange language so quickly. It is like I never left home, really. This traveling is getting easy. And, the local food is amazingly familiar, and the ice has melted, and I did not need to pack my dog sled to get around, this Canada place is not so bad. But then again, as a hale and hearty New Englander, I am used to such a climate.

After reviewing the rules, and settling our plan, we travel to far off places, to see what can happen, on a Sunday in Ontario.

I wash the filth of the road off of me, and tart myself up properly, must look good, or at least must not look horrifyingly frazzled.

I found myself being hurtled down the road in a Canadian car, much like my American one, and who do you think I saw? A tall flowing haired blond gentleman loping down the street, must see what is going on. His, and his friends likeness was up on a wall, I can go see them tonight. So, I did.
Fabulous show, flawlessly executed. The venue had empty seats up in the upper balcony, but I chose not to look behind me for most of the show, what was on the stage was much more interesting. The usual and customary improvised banter and stage mothions were there, as well as a few deeply personal winks to a few folks, but a winker, not a wanker.

There were four familiar faces, and a few quiet ones known to show up almost anywhere, at least in the audience. I had a nice fellow behind me explain the history of the Band to his chair mate. I found out that they did an album as an orchestra, called “Knights in White Satin” in the seventies, and decided to change to being a rock band, cool, the usually leave that part out of the biography, as they are known to rewrite history. Also I found out that they play whatever song is shouted out at them, and I thought they went by the disputed set list taped to the carpet.

Stand out songs, were TDWMA, heart wrenching

Gypsy, with a blackout instead of lights up at the end, someone will have been spoken to about that, I ma sure

IKYOTS, which they only ever sing when I am there, and do not anyone tell me different, bla bla bla I am not listening

TSIYE I had fun, yes that was me in the corner

Question

RMSS
Can we go again? I can not believe I was so sick that I have had to miss all of this the past few weeks.
