The below blog will now become an episodic feature based on Amanda Saint's appearances at Parkdale`s Open Stage Review!!!!
Sponsor: McAuslan Brewing
Tonite`s episode:
"West End Posse and Marquesas Island Troubadours!!!!"
Overview:
Tonite I remembered the reason I prefer to smoke in the patio out back. As Mr. Crack and Mr. Crack were out to greet us!!!! Mr. Crack (one) ran down the street it surprises me he can run that fast, must have found a prospect. Mr. Crack (two) got on my nerves, wanted a smoke and just stood there staring across the street. Inside though you know that Parkdales`s Open Stage Review is a venue that attracts talent!!!! Two troubadours from Marquesas Islands See Facts and Figures:
Facts and Figures Official Name Marquesas Islands, an island group within French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France, originally claimed in 1843 Population 7,100 Largest Island Nuku Hiva (339 sq. km) Largest Town Taiohae, the modern day administrative center of the islands, (population) 1,700 Flag here Languages French (official), Tahitian (official) Official Currency Comptoirs Francais du Pacifique franc Currency Converter here Religions Protestant, Catholic, others Land Area 1,243 sq km (480 sq miles) Latitude/Longitude 9º 00S, 139º 30W Highest Point Mountain peak on Hiva Oa, at 4,1345 ft.

They were actually touring North America I believe they started out in San Francisco. To me it was cool following them as they had an upbeat Polynesian Surfer Style Music and me well check out the song list below. I should let you know though you get a different perspective of Amanda Saint on stage. I always do stripped down versions of the songs I play, and live is always fun!!!! Don` t worry the guys before liked my music!!!!
Songs:
Bashing My Head Against The Wall:
I had never played the song before at the end I strayed a little bit from the original, however the lyrics were bang on. I should mention what I find funny about this song is in the chorus I say "Never, Never, Never, Never" about 21 one times and I did it!!!! A lot people probably think it seems easy, but for me that was a personal achievement!!!
Poor Poor Johnny- Drunken Trip:
I should give you a little bit of personal insight into some of the background of this song. This is my drinking song it has a Yeah Ha!!!! Feel to it!!!! It's about a boy named Johnny who hold `s up grocery store in Kentucky and accidentally shoots the clerk!!!!
After Show:
The host (Yawd Sylvester) joked about the guy with the nice steel guitar from the East End, I know where Jilly's is and I can say it `s worse:
