    Not a country music fan at all, but Chris Stapleton coming to Winnipeg as the only Canadian stop on his tour is pretty cool. That guy has one of the best voices in music, IMO.

  • By most accounts that I've seen, he was a democrat.  He was loud and proud about his patriotism, but he was less conservative than most people thought.

Wow, a recording by Hal Lone Pine, former Winnipegger and father to Lenny Breau.  Randy Bachman has many stories to tell about growing up down the street from Breau when he was a teenager, and receiving informal guitar lessons in trade for hamburgers, you can clearly hear his influence in jazzier songs like "Blue Collar".

This song is from 1950 and Lenny was born in 1941, he was a boy genius guitarist, but this may be from before he joined the family band.

Did the whole FolkFest (including camping in the festival campground) for the first time.  What an amazing experience with more great music and performers than I could believe.  Really wondering why I hadn't done it before.

Can't believe Charley Crockett evaded my radar prior, but his set absolutely blew me away.  Now this is country music!
