Coming in from The Cold
My friend Mary Beth Harris from PEI writes to ask when I will return to my blog. I reply: when this foggy head of mine can shake my brain into operation.
I was away for three weeks, and upon return I developed a cold. That is, I came down with “The Cold” as we say here [...]
Home and its abundant joy
After an early morning drive from Prince Albert to Saskatoon – and following a long flight delay – we departed for home. A bit of concern in making the connecting flight from Toronto to Halifax, but we made it – not without some frantic hustling and hearing my name called over the announcement system. When [...]
Best travel tip
Our great guitarist and all round wonderful guy offered up this travel tip. It may be one of the best I’ve heard in some time.
It is: in hotels, slip the remote control into a ziplock bag to avoid the bugs left behind by previous guests.
Very good tip. Thank you, Clarence Deveau.
Day 9?
We’re in the Calgary airport, departing for Saskatoon very soon. At least, we hope so. Some question about whether our luggage will arrive with us. Perhaps it will be two hour Q@A
I think this is Day 10, not Day 9. Some confusion on my part, owing to my numbers phobia.
Day 8
Bragg Creek.
In many of these community arts centres, volunteers figure prominently in making the shows happen. They’re cheerful, enthusiastic, helpful. They sell CDs, make food appear in dressing rooms, attend to your comfort- they are the lifeblood of the venues.
Bragg Creek is outstanding…in fact, all of our Alberta dates have been smooth and welcoming. There [...]
Day 6
Over another few mountain tops and we were in Kelowna. Great theatre, the Kelowna Arts Centre. These good venues make it so much easier to relax on stage.
Have to say, Raylene and Cindy are singing like angels, and I’m singing like an admirer of Raylene and Cindy. I’m a hanger on for dear life singer.
Another [...]
Day 5
What a great time on Salt Spring. It left us with about four hours sleep to make the early ferry, but we’re holding up. After we dock, there’s a five hour drive to Kelowna. It will be a breeze after the drives from Airdrie to Rossland, Rossland to Salt Spring. But what drives they were. [...]
Oh, and…
Thanks to the really good folks of Airdrie and the Bert Church Theatre for a great night. Good food, great audience, warm, warm welcome. Again, thanks to all.
Deliveries
A great day for waiting by the door. Two deliveries, each long anticipated. Surprising me pleasantly was the delivery of a new travel coffee-maker, followed by the delivery of a quilt my cousin made for me.
The coffee maker will save me from bad coffee on the road, and the worst of the bad (my opinion [...]
Family
My family is very much in my mind these days, for various reasons. Perhaps it’s the end of the year – beginning of the year combination of nostalgia and anticipation – memory and hope. A reminding of love and affection.
My generation speaks of love carelessly, and we assign the word to a number of more [...]

Often described as a "writer's writer", Susan Crowe is one of Canada's most respected singer songwriters in the folk genre. At once complex, challenging and accessible, Susan's intelligent and moving songs have captivated audiences and reviewers from coast to coast, continent to continent. She possesses, in the words of Britain's Folk Roots magazine, "that rare ability of crafting a lyric that bears scrutiny on its own terms." That rare ability has earned her two Juno nominations, and nominations from both the West Coast and East Coast Music Awards.
