Halifax!

Sitting here in Halifax sipping sweet fern tea. I spent the morning walking around Wolfville gathering various supplies (thanks to some of which I am now clean shaven). We drove into Halifax, and Adam and I visited the Haifax Folklore Centre, and I got to meet the man who built my banjo, Mr Tom Dorward. Currently I am debating whether I ought to leave the banjo with him to get it fixed up to proper working order and have it then shipped back to victoria. Decisions decisions. We do have another banjo with which we could finish the tour so it's a matter of my financial status to be considered. Adam tried out some bows, and I played and fell in love with my dream guitar. I've always said that my eventual guitar will be something small and old, and this particular instrument is from 1880 and is a small bodied parlour guitar. It sounds, plays, feels, looks amazing. I think it might be my soul mate. Now only a large sum of money stands between me and my true love. Blast!!

After the folklore centre we lounged around downtown at an internet cafe and then made our way here to the house we played at tonight. We played a lovely house concert to a small but very appreciative audience. The rest of the crew is out in the backyard around the fire mingling and my friend Adam Hodnett just arrived after hitchhiking here from frederickton!! So I better go socialise. Hope all is well in the world of those who read the Fish & Bird blog. Good night! I'll post some pictures when I get a chance.
