About Me

I was a teenager in the 60s and grew up listening to some great rock'n'roll. The Beatles were my favourites, as well as the great voice of Burton Cummings. I was captured by this artist and his stage presence, which remains the same, even after 40 years. Burton's music and voice have been with me through the good times and the bad times.

Patrick Swayze interview

I'm hoping that some of you had the chance to watch this interview with Barbara Walters.  He did look thin and tired when this was taped, but he has such great determination and inner strength and has...

Right after work today around 4:45 pm, I stopped at Walmart which is the closest CD store to my office.  When I got to the New Releases, I didn't find it right away.  There was another lady ...

Leona's thoughts - Sunday, Nov 2nd

Well, the Saturday show (last night) was a REAL HALIFAX CROWD, and I was so happy for Burton and the boys up there. I was close enough to see the expressions on their faces and there was no doubt in m...
