Daily Dose of Vintage Summerfolk - March 16
The final video from summerfolk 2011.
Full Resolution version on YouTube.
In the final part of series we start with the Sunday morning "rejoice" workshop, move on to more rain (2011 had a LOT of rain) & finish with the last laugh in the beer tent and the crazy funny Arrogant worms. Man, I miss the Last Laugh! It was always fun , and well attended and even a high point of the weekend. I have no idea when James K killed it, maybe some day it'll return.
There are 5 parts to the series so, check out the rest.

Long overdue video from Summerfolk 2011.

Today's video shows the aftermath of the rain storm. Playing in puddles is fun no matter how old you are. It's all a bit of fun in the middle of the afternoon, which is sort of the point.

Daily Dose of Vintage Summerfolk - March 13
Long overdue video from Summerfolk 2011.
Full Quality version is on YouTube
If 2011 is remembered for one thing it's Rain. Rain & an audience rendition of Barret's Privateers that has been on line in many version ever since. After many years I've finally gotten around to posting my version.
While working on the videos for 2011 I couldn't get the song out of my mind. As the song was stuck in my head my brain started inserting rhymes and puns into the song creating a few funny phrases. This lead to a whole story to go with one of those phrases.
Here's the Story...
In the days of traveling sideshows a
man from Halifax named John Barret, arrived at one of the biggest
shows to get a job as a freak. His unique abnormality was that he had
about 6 ears growing in his genital region.
He was hired at once, but they had to
figure out how to promote his act. They needed to make people
interested, without being too graphic. After some deliberation
decided on “John's Private Ears” “See the man with ears on his
private parts”.
He was a huge success over the years
and just as they where planning a European tour disaster struck. One
of his private ear was gone. He soon realized that this medical
miracle could mean financial disaster, and before he know it he had 4
ears and no job.
As being a sideshow freak was the only
job he knew he moved back home and set up a small sideshow tent on
the pier trying to make money while he could.
It wasn't long before he only had 1 ear
left & no one would pay to see it.
Even his tent got repossessed, and he
ended his career as
a broken man on a Halifax pier, with
the last of Barret's Private Ears.
If you hear these words (in your head) in place of the usual ones next time you hear the song, then my job is done. And, yes my head is full of odd alternate versions of songs & other weird stuff, fortunately for the world I don't usually write them down.
*There are 5 parts to the video series so, check out the rest. (they don't all come with weird puns)

Summerfolk Music & Craft Festival 1997 is the stuff of legends.
It set some of the "traditions" for summerfolks to come.
This was the start of the 'official' group photo, it was the 1st year we had a properly large group & we still bring a didge every year.
