What an excellent Wednesday. Anyday i get off of work is a great day. The reason it was so great? I got to see my first concert in 2 years. Barney Bentall was playing at the old winery restaurant in Niagara on The Lake. I have to say it was a cool little venue and the acoustics were awesome. My friend Stacey came with us. We had been trying for 3 years to find a cool concert to go to together.
After a dinner at a fancy looking Macdonalds we drove to the show. As we were pulling up to the show who was walking down the street? Barney Bentall himself. Still very cool. As I've stated before I've been a fan for over 20 years and just love his music a lot. This was to be my 16th show since 1990 and Kaths 5th show.
The show started around 8:30 with an acoustic version of his 1997 song Shoulder of the Road. He alternated between older and newer tunes and told many interesting stories about his family.
If that werent enough during the 2nd set he brought out Jim Cuddy as his special guest. They sounded incredible together. They sang a couple Blue Rodeo songs and did a kick ass version Of Barney's big 1988 hit Something To Live For.
After words we got to chat with Barney again. He signed a cd for us. After we told him we had danced to his song True Love Ways at our wedding he took the cd back and signed True Love rules! Such a nice guy. We had another photo with him. What a great all around evening. Thanks to Stacey for coming with us and a big thanks to Anthony for babysitting Diana for us. We left the show in such a great mood. I hope its not another 2 years before we see him in concert. I really wanna see him rock out with his band the Legendary Hearts just one more time. Anyhow thats the story of our awesome night. Take care everyone.
