One Tin Soldier..

Last night the very charismatic Judi and Michelle were sitting at a table to the left of me with 3 Medical Doctors from Siberia (Yuri, Marina and Irina). They arrived in Canada because they are on a mission to start a revolution of nursing in Siberia. Marini and Irini graced our presence by coming up to sing Russian songs about Mala Vodka (never ever enough vodka), and other folk stories from their homeland. After each song they would explain the meaning of what they just sang about. I thought they were tremendous. Michelle posed very child-like with my guitar in hand, and Judi offered some high notes on my Open Mic stage downstairs at The Wolves Den. They welcomed anyone who walked through the door with enthusiasm. Thanks! Chris came up again this week and played a few more originals. Corinne was also there to cheer him on, and he was well received. John, Mark, Lorna and Deb from England get a little crazy...(what was that song I sang about John??..I hope you guys comment. Marg and her group were there again last night. It was good to meet Peter, Peggy and Dave. Mike got the courage to get up and sing "One Tin Soldier". We even rehearsed it outside (kinda chilly...but worth it). His brother Cal took the photo of us on the stage.Thanks Dan from Sudbury, and the folks from Ottawa for participating. I almost forgot to mention that Frank, from Rochester was there...the adventure continues....
