The Train That Was Late

Posted on August 9, 2011 with 0 comments

the midnight train from Edmonton to Saskatoon didn't leave the station until 2:00 a.m...wondered if i was going to make it to the interview at CTV...the overnight ride was glorious...i was so snug in my sleeper cabin...cheese popcorn and a book about the prairies (Wolf Willow by Wallace Stegner)...waking up at dawn and seeing Saskatchewan by train for the first time was a thrill...the air was foggy and the sun white and bright...barely made it on time...was met by brothers Sam The Shark Sharkawy and Bradley Harder at the station...no time to change or shower so I went to the station with a hat on my head...heading out now to present a concert/songwriting workshop at the Art Alcove at McNally's! it's so thrilling to be in Saskatoon!

 

ps: nice article by THE Ned Powers in the Saskatoon Express
