The Fred Eaglesmith Charity Picnic was held again this year at the Springwater Conservation Area just outside of Aylmer. It's about an hour drive south of our home and we usually attend. We've discovered all sorts of great music through Fred and this weekend was no exception.

Some of the singers who were there: Audrey Auld (Australia), Washboard Hank (of course - he does Master of Ceremonies honors), Bill Poss and the Fabulous Ginn Sisters.

Roger Marin had driven home from the Yukon with some friends to attend and play. They told a story how Roger detected an odd noise in their truck driving one night -- it was a wheel bearing and he stopped and replaced it on the road! Apparently Roger was the chief mechanic that the kept the tour bus on the road when he travelled with Fred.
