A Mark Perry concert is like a Canadian roadtrip...
A dozen albums strong, Mark Perry is deeply loved in regions across Canada for his good-humoured, thought-provoking performances and socially-narrative songs. He is a storyteller of time & place, sweeping you up in emotional and animated tales of sinking ferries, springtime floods, NHL dreams… or buying a car for “two cords of wood and 24 beer”. “New Jersey has Springsteen, New York has Billy Joel, northern BC has Mark Perry,” salutes music reviewer Frank Peebles. Towns dying, towns being born, small planes going down… from Halifax to Haida Gwaii, this Canadian singer-songwriter draws us in and connects us from coast to coast.

HAY ! That's what life's been about lately - and it's in the barn ! Yahoo !..here's a short little song for our Northern gardener pals...inspired by watching Joe Hug ( prez ? of Hug's Organic's) plant potatoes with a just about 100 year old machine ! His produce is amazing. People are growing beautiful produce at home...From coast to coast, Kim Barlow to Rachelle VanZanten..I bet Alex Cuba secretly has carrots growing in his back yard ! It's a movement..Let's take care of each other.
.oh ya, new record is coming along nicely...and thanks to Elija Quinn Larsen for a volume boost on this clip. Facebook dropped this "new Look" on me and I got so confused I just stopped posting for a bit. Darn I hate when they do that. Putin must have said time for a change..
REDEFINING TELKWA - (good luck). Walk or bike along River street in Telkwa to Eddy park and it's Beautiful..sorry Telkwa, but it's the truth. BUT Telkwa has a reputation to uphold..when I went to school they called their own floor hockey team "the Telkwa Bums". "Harry's Steakhouse" (with an "Orange Crush" sign out side,) "Used to be a Rocker" are soooo..Telkwa. You can have a smokey open pit fire by the roadside, rev up your car with no muffler...but you wake up the next day and you will still be beautiful ! Ha - live with it Telkwa. Laughing about this terrible identity crisis, riding my bike and watching kayakers go by, I headed up the hill, homeward. 3 LOUD 4x4's drove by, the last one had a bumper sticker Painted on - "TELKWA F'IN PRIDE" ! The struggle continues..
I often think of my Dad - not just today..that's him with our son Matthew many years ago. The green jacket is my Mothers Dad's - wrapped around Dad's shirt - stylish combo eh ! Dad used to talk about guaranteed annual income and many things that are now becoming real..of course I never listened... I know I am very lucky to have had great role models in my life..
