Do you have concerns about velour? I do and let me tell you about them. Your past encounters with velour were likely a hot, sticky confusing haze of visual euphoria and petroleum disillusionment. Am I right? This is because 21st century velour is 100% polyester. Now step inside the world of Lounge Lakers where comfort and style merge without conflict. This polo has been blessed by Pope Leo, the ‘67 Toronto Maple Leafs, and good ol’ breathable cotton. 80/20 cotton with the ribbon of authenticity and contrasting zipper that has become the hallmark of the Lounge Lakers polo.

Available now at www.loungelakers.com or directly from me because you probably know me or live down the street from me.

Royale Blue not your colour? Stay tuned for further promotion and advice featuring the Olive Green edition.

Reflecting upon last weekend’s Winnipeg Folk Festival.
It’s always a pleasure and a thrill to share my art with you all. Thank you to Winnipeg Folk Festival for putting together a stellar musical lineup and attracting a passionate audience of music lovers and genuinely lovely people.
So many great conversations about art, politics, music, religion, migratory patterns… all the important stuff.
Talented neighbours who become my weekend family:
Anishinaabe Girl Designs
Geordan A Moore

This festival always puts a spring in my step and propels me toward further adventures. Next stop: Salmon Arm for the ROOTSandBLUES Festival followed by Canmore Folk Festival

See you on the road.

Sunday at the Biggar Brit Rally included the gymkhana!
Both the word gymkhana and the event it describes originated in 19th-century India. The word is probably an alteration of the Hindi “gedkhana,” which describes a ball- playing area similar to a racket ball court, with the first syllable influenced by our word gymnasium. The first gymkhanas were displays of athletics and equestrian skill, and while those are still common, the 20th century introduced a new kind of gymkhana, designed to show off car handling or in this case, motorcycle handling.
Favourites of the rally were the slow egg race, ball toss, and the thrilling Weiner Bite!!!
You can see my mother’s prowess in that event in the last photo.

Further reading and photographic evidence of my father’s motorcycle rally as we acknowledge 40 years has passed since the first one.
There are few photos of the inaugural event back in ‘86. My dad told me that he was just too busy to capture any photos so these would probably have been taken by my mom.

1. My Dad and somebody’s BSA Rocket III
2. John Bennett on a ‘71 Ducati 750 S (yes, bikes of all nations were accepted. They didn’t have to be British).
3. John and Shirley Bennett (the couple whose farmyard the rally took place on. John is sporting the official t-shirt - one of only 25 produced… until now.
