Back on Newfoundland soil

Well I'm back. If I look at this in reverse, it took me twenty hours to cross the gulf and only 18 hours to get to North Sydney from West Chester Pennsylvania. Funny, eh? Took longer to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland than it did to drive from down south.. I crossed on the Atlantic Vision which I now call the Atlantic Delusion!
I'm staying in a boarding house in Corner Brook! Neat place...5 bedrooms, kitchen, computer room, tv room, nice couches, basement, washer and dryer and private parking. Location...Broadway! Near McHugh's pub. Near the Newfoundland Emporium. Near the Mill which blows its whistle faithfully at 8 am and wakes me up in time to make coffee for the other 4 guests here. All are under the age of 32; I guess that makes me the father type. They are all nice people and one is an exchange student/researcher from Asia.
I look forward to every Sharecropper Performance we have this summer. If you are near Pasadena on July 16th, come to the beach at the Oasis Grill. We play there at 9pm till 11pm.
If you are on the Northern Peninsula in August, come to Woody Point on Aug 14th at the Heritage Theatre there for our show at 8 pm. If in Cow Head on the 16th, our show is there at Shallow Bay at 8 pm. They should all be entertaining!
You can have a brew at these three places too. That means you can raise a glass during "Fine Girl Ye Are!" or sing along to our well loved One Room School song!
Hope to see you this summer. Please be sure to say hello! You can check our progress at www.thesharecroppers.net
But best of all this summer, my beautiful wife Katie Rose is coming to Nfld to be with me on July 1st. I'm all smiles!!!
Have a great summer 2010!

    Hi Mike! You are back to the Island! Just maybe we'll get to meet in person one of these days. I saw your thread on blogging in the kitchen. Don't get in there much these days and I really miss it so much. Having the three lil ones 2 and under has definitely changed my "free" time around!

    Ted and I still so enjoy all your music!

    Wish we could make it to Newfoundland someday.

    Could you send me your contact info in NL?


    Blessings!

    Kim
