My daughter, me and a former forum member

This is a performance in Simcoe a few weeks ago in support of cancer research.

It was my daughter Amanda Lynn's first experience on stage.

We were supported and accompanied by a former forum member here named Paul. In this clip I'm playing a Godin A8 mandolin, Paul is playing "prepared guitar" on a Ricki 12 string with a drumstick.

Thanks for your efforts in support of cancer research. My Dad was, and my brother is a cancer survivor, but my sister, aunt, neighbour, and several friends were victims. Much has been done, but much is left to do.

Cool tune too. Nice work.

Peace, Mooh.

Thanks very much Mooh. This was a two day event. I donate the PA and lights and run them for the event every year. It's one of two such charitable events I do every year.

Surely there's no-one among us who has not been directly or indirectly impacted by cancer in one form or another.

It was a "feel good" event this year nd we raised several thousand dollars which go directly to the Thoracic cancer research foundation at St Joseph's Hospital in Brantford.


Time well spent.

Charitable events always feel good, especially when there is a connection with the cause. Brantford eh? I lived there for several years ('64-'72), and co-incidentally my bride was born there (BGH). Back then it didn't feel very big-city-like. I suppose with events such as this it still feels like community. That's what I like about charity events besides supporting a cause, they most often bring divergent people and views together.

Peace, Mooh.
