Well, I’m on the plane back to Canada after 6 weeks gigging in the uk and leading my yearly Irish music tour for Inishfree. Astounding experiences both. Lots of side quests in the UK and profound historical insights with guide Billy Mag Fhloinn.

As close as l'll get to a pilgrimage. I diverted as I was not far from the home of Charles and Emma Darwin.
I am not one for heroes generally, but Darwin is truly a hero of mine. I cannot think of anyone in the past 300 years who had more of an impact on human kind.

Top gig in Glenfarg last night. Lots of singing but I didn’t win the raffle! Weather turned cold and rainy today which seemed fitting for the drive to tonight’s gig at The Hopetoun Arms in Leadhills. Can’t wait.

So, look at what showed up at the same time in my mailbox. The voter info card, AND my bribe check from #DougFord. Economy tip- you could have saved some money by putting them in the same envelope.

You give me an idea! What if we all choose an MAGA American and send them something. I mean like all 40 million of us. No quicker way to get individual Americans thinking about who pays a tariff.

So much going on that I won't get it all in one post, but for the moment, David Woodhead and I will be playing a matinee show at Trinity-St. Andrew's United Church (Brighton) tomorrow at 2 p.m. We're all warmed up and ready for you. If there's anything you desperately want to hear, leave a comment!

We've arrived in Fort Macleod and the historic Empress Theatre. Nice drive but for the fog, limited visibility and -14 degree temperature! Looks like a big crowd for tonight...but still a few tickets left Empress Theatre Fort Macleod
