Our 50th Anniversary,
will be on July 14/24 !
To mark the moment, I decided a few months ago, to write a song about our life.
Our First Roadtrip
The picture above was our first road trip from Winnipeg to Vancouver in my first car, a 1963 Jaguar Mark 2. It ran me into the ground with repairs, but was a fun car to drive.
I was drumming in a band, and had a gig a Oil Can Harry’s. I had never been to Vancouver, having lived my whole life in Winnipeg.
We drove straight thru, sleeping a few hours in the car.
It was early morning as we drove Hwy #1 West into Vancouver.
How Big is Big ?
I saw signs like 260th Street, and yet could not see any neighborhoods.
This did not make sense to me, so I took an exit and finally got into a neighborhood. It was about 6 am and I saw a guy standing at a bus stop.
I stopped and asked him, “Do you know where Oil can Harry’s Is ? ”
He thought for a moment and asked, “That’s in Vancouver isn’t it ? ” I said yes.
I said “get back on the freeway and go about 20 miles ! ”
I instantly learned how big Vancouver was.
