As I approached this evening's Rawlins Cross concert I heard the band lay into Colleen, the song that I think of when I think of Rawlins Cross. I made it into the concert area proper to catch the end of the song.

Almost immediately thereafter I was treated to a rendition of Wild Rose, another of the Rawlins Cross songs that reminds me of my childhood.

Much to my surprise, Sean Panting (AKA Walter) was performing with the band. Though for much of the concert he was just performing away, he eventually really started throwing his body into it and rocking out.

Though my mother suggested that I go back stage and talk to Ian McKinnon (and re-introduce myself) I opted to just leave after the show. Trying to wangle my way backstage didn't seem particularly wise or something that was likely to succeed.
Anyway, tomorrow night I will be heading back to Parade Square for Old Man Luedecke's concert, the last concert of this series that I will be attending.

A Few Quick Notes 512
-Today seems to have been a pretty bland, though cold, day so far. Apparently we may even be in for a few flurries this evening.
-I spend a few hours yesterday and today transcribing, unfortunately, I am not really out of it. I just can quite seem to concentrate. Of course, in this state it didn't take me long to get to animated gifs.
-Later this evening I am hoping to catch some of the free Rawlins Cross show at the Grand Parade. As I will likely be going by myself I am not sure if I will go for the entire show. As an early investor in the band I do feel somewhat compelled to see at least some of the show.
-Jeannette and I are likely to have homemade pizzas for dinner tonight. As usual, my will be cheese and tomato free.
-We are still pumping out pitches at Doyle Pitches, though I am starting to think that the Telegram story on the site may not materialize. It has now been a few weeks and I have heard nothing back from the reporter who conducted the interview. The fact that the CBC refused to allow people to comment on our stuff probably really dealt the fatal blow to this story.
-I guess I should try to do at least a little more work before dinner.

The Queen in Halifax
As planned, Neil and I made it the Queen's address on Garrison Grounds today. While it was raining for the early part of the ceremony, things eventually cleared up a little.
Neil managed to catch the Queen's address, which I then included in this video.

While the ceremony was not particularly exciting (the Acadian music component was particularly tiring), it was largely made palatable by the fact that the classic Newfoundland celtic rock band Rawlins Cross performed a song. As an early investor in the band it was nice to see that they finally were able to perform for the Queen (and Prince Philip and Harper).
If I get a chance I may try to post a few more photos tomorrow.
