Day 4 – Off in Banff
Short drive. Gets colder. More ice. No falling this time. Stephen thinks it is minus 4 out. I insist that it must be minus 10 to make myself feel better as it will get much colder… We meet up with old school friend Jesse who now lives in Banff where he is a manager at the Banff Arts Centre. Bad bars and bad cigars. Well just 1 bad bar. The first place is Wild Bills where we will play on the way back. Nice bar, my problem with it is the country band, a country band that played AC/CD and Ring of Fire, which is about the only country song I like, I think. Here we meet up with Mark the sound sucker the band has hired for the whole tour. He lives in Banfff and is the sound dude for Wild Bills. He’s driving his green truck all the way across so we can all fit. He definitely has hypoglycemia. More on that later.
