The Friday Quarantine Sociable for this week is another request. This one is for Kelly who wanted to hear Mad Tom to kick off her weekend. This version was recorded live on St Patrick's Day at the fabulous West End Cultural Centre in Winnipeg. We should mention there are a few more requests we are working on but they have to be recorded from scratch so it takes a bit more doing but they are coming.

The Friday Quarantine Sociable. Blair plays Time to Get a Gun, written by the great Canadian songwriter Fred Eaglesmith. Blair - I first met Fred at the Winnipeg Folk Festival in 1994 when they shared a Gator (quad) to take their stuff to the merch tent. We had cassettes (Helter Celtic) and T-shirts, Fred had these beautiful hand made wooden boxes containing his first 3 cassettes. I had just heard Fred on an interview with Peter Gzowski about making the boxes per the winter in his workshop. I told Fred I had heard the interview and loved the idea. Fred said let’s make a swap. I came out way ahead on that deal.
