Posers and Patience... maybe pipe band too!

Welcome back after a wild and wacky weekend of fun.

I got to spend Saturday and Sunday with some good friends having some relaxing times so it can't be all bad.

Saturday afternoon I had a great meeting making sure we're well prepared for the inaugural Two Rivers Juvenile meeting tonight. I think we're all very excited. My sister Kyla Johnston, the head piping instructor and Grade 2 piper, had a great time over at Gale Walkers prepping things and getting our final touches done on the presentations.

After that it was time for my second meeting. I call it my pipe band down time. Every week or so I venture out to one of Winnipeg's fine British style establishments with my good friend and Grade 2 piper/soundguy Clarke Stockton and we basically solve all the problems in the world in two hours on the patio. Great times!

Sunday Clarke and I met up again at Wes' house and spent the afternoon holding particle boards up and struggling with Wes' overpowered, but way to fund air-screwdriver. Everyone should have one!

The real story outside of pipe band from my weekend involves my other band. Pop the Trunk. We perform all over the place as a cover band, playing anything people will dance to. Out of nowhere our sound tech Eric came bursting out onto the patio yelling Burton Cummings is here! He wants pictures with the band!

WOW GREAT!!!! HOLY COW BURTON CUMMINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we charged inside and stood shoulder to shoulder on stage with "Burton" and his "friends" taking pictures.

Luckily this weekend was also our good highland dancing friend Laurie Tyndall's birthday and she had managed to drag out a few friends to see PTT live saturday night. So I will include photos later of this extravagant event.....

But wait................

If this was so great why did I include quotation marks around "Burton" and "friends".

Good question.

I'll say this, I have yet to prove any of this, but at this exact point our so-called Burton Cummings was about 6 foot 1 had black curly hair a killer mustache, and bright white blue eyes. I'm doing some research but three people in the bar who claim to know Burton insist this was not him.

So this leads me to believe that somewhere in Winnipeg right now there is a fella running around Winnipeg getting free drinks and partying with girls half his age (or less) insisting he is a legend and hero of so many Winnipeggers.

So stay tuned I'm looking into this.

I was so excited to meet this idol but alas i'll have to wait to see if it was meant to be.

So far his website photos don't seem to match his description.
