Cainsville

Fred Eaglesmith had an outdoor concert in Cainsville. Some interesting guests, a lovely day, and lots of good music.

Fred told a lengthy story about how he had written "Bob's Dogs and Burgs" for a friend who operated a nearby hot dog stand. After writing the song the fellow retired!

The location for this event was pretty odd --  a junk collectors heaven. There were a couple of old Fred Eaglesmith tour buses (cf. the picture at left) that had been parked and were slowly rusting away. You could go inside if you wanted. There's a wood stove in one for cold winter nights. I wonder if they used the stove while in motion?

If you wanted to buy one of these relics, you could. But you'd have to be a really crazy Fredhead to even think of that!
