      90 percent of human beings are simpleton fools. Due to this, 3 minute 4 chord 5 note melody bullshit songs are all that people want. Real talent gets buried because it's too sophisticated to truly hit people. They can't comprehend it.

    My aunt Mary Mcintyre did 70 concerts with Stompin Tom in 1990, and a 1991 6wk tour as well. I will have to follow up with her on this one, as I am sure she will have
    some great stories from that time.

    There is nothing liking, sitting around the kitchen table which is where everything happens in a Newfoundland household. You get 2, 3 5 guys with guitars 🎸 a fiddle. Oh did I mention that there could be a few beers he said laughingly. But not a better time could be had. Family, friends and relatives and anyone who happened to drop by. All were always welcome and all were fed. A wonderful province that I am proud to say thanks and where I am from.
