I passed by these beautiful and majestic #storm #clouds on my way back to #Saskatoon from #Weyburn, #Saskatchewan! One of the storm clouds looks like it was forming into a #tornado 🌪! Even had a #beautiful #lightning show! Saskatchewan is indeed the #Land of the #Living #Skies! #nofiltersneeded (at Wilcox, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgqRdODMBWC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weyburn showed he’s got a big heart when he got his nose down first at 46-1 in the G2 Gotham over Crowded Trade

Weyburn applied pressure to Freedom Fighter early; when that rival started to fade Crowded Trade looked like he’d get the lead, but Weyburn refused to quit and fought back to get his nose down first. Heavy favorite Highly Motivated got off to a bad start but closed well to get up for third.

Weyburn is a Canadian-bred son of Pioneerof the Nile and Sunday Affair - making Weyburn a half-brother to stakes horse Nipigon & G3 winner Yorkton. Sunday Affair is an unraced daughter of the Japanese mare, Million Gift. Million Gift hasn’t accomplished much as a racehorse or a broodmare yet, but she’s a daughter of the important mare, Maplejinksy. Maplejinksy was a multiple G1 winner race mare and is the dam of the champion Sky Beauty. Along with being the third dam to Weyburn, she’s the third dam to Pine Island and Point of Entry.

Always nice to see Jimmy Jerkins get a horse on the Derby trail, and this win put Weyburn in the picture with 50pts.

Anti-Gay Bigot in Canada compares two men or two women who love each other, to someone being a cannibal and molesting kids.

Although it’s a term they use against the LGBTQcommunity, I must say, these rabidly Anti-Gay people are Sick, they really have a Sickness of Hate

A group of around 15 postal workers began picketing the Weyburn post office at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning, and they will be off the job “until further notice”. Rotating strikes by members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have been held in various centres across Canada, with pickets lasting anywhere from 24 to 48 hours or more.

Some Words On Y.Q.R.

It starts - as most things do - with reggae night.

Years ago, and for reasons I can’t really remember, I met up with a gal I fancied at a dance club for a night of drinks while straining to hear each other speak. We never danced - just sat at a booth and chatted ourselves hoarse, which seemed to confirm that she fancied me as well. When I left the club (she stayed behind, having driven herself and a couple of her still-dancing friends there), I walked to my car and found a flier placed on my windshield, advertising the dance club’s upcoming reggae night. 

Days passed and that flier remained lodged tight between the windshield and one of my wipers. Finally, while driving to work on a rainy day, I turned the wipers on, and the flier flew off.

As my drive continued, I started tossing the idea in my head for a love song called ‘Reggae Night’. It would start with the flier (’A flier placed upon my windshield / for some dance club’s reggae night / suddenly takes flight / on this rainy drive’), and then build from there, explaining a growing relationship that turns into something greater (wishful thinking, I know), with the music building concurrently - a beautiful symphony to soundtrack the love the characters in the song feel for each other blah blah.

That’s as far as I got. Lyrically, it was just the four lines quoted above. Love songs are hard, man (surely, it would’ve helped a lot if a blossoming relationship had happened in real life, but hooking up about a half-dozen times was the extent of that relationship).

The first half of the song sounded a bit too much like several other folks’ songs (mainly, ‘Fear’ by Lambchop, and ‘Naked In Pitsmoor’ by Richard Hawley) and I could never find a satisfactory way to change that. The second half, though, was its own thing and I really dug it.

So ‘Reggae Night’ died, but the musical ideas I came up with for its second half lingered in the back of my head for a couple more years.

Now, let’s go to Regina.

Last summer - as we’ve all done at some point - I found myself working for two weeks in southern Saskatchewan, splitting my time between Regina and a pair of small towns called Weyburn and Estevan. It was near Weyburn that a couple things converged to result in a day that left me in a very sour mood. In order to change that as quickly as possible, I made my way up to Regina, got a sweet hotel room in the center of town, and vowed to take the next day off and do nothing but relax and wander around and maybe do a little writing.

And that’s what I did. In the morning, I grabbed my notebook and walked over to a coffeeshop catty-corner from my hotel. As soon as I stepped inside, I heard this: “Every animal accepts death.”

One barista to another. I didn’t follow any more of the conversation - that was all I needed. I started with that, then focused on what else was around me (mainly, a farmer’s market going on nearby) . . . 

. . . then circled back to ‘every animal accepts death’, which turned into a ramble about how dumb ideas can lead to better ideas, or something like that.

I had a song. It could have been (and maybe should have been) two songs, but the whole ‘animal accepts death’ thing kept it together, so I decided to develop it as one song. 

In my head, the first part seemed like a country/Americana-type of tune. I had no clue what to do with the second half, though, or how to coherently connect it with the first half.

Then I remembered ‘Reggae Night’ and its second half gathering dust in my brain. I thought of that music again, then laid the newly-written and non-reggae-related words over them, and found that they matched up. Now all I had to do was record the thing.

At the start of this year, I began toying around with a music program called LMMS, which led to a creative spark that resulted in the Mons Paris EP that was released in April. While recording those Florida-themed songs, I started the process of converting the music of ‘Y.Q.R.’ from the country/Americana/symphonic mess in my head to something that I could actually play. The first half was recorded with relatively ease while still in Florida. The second half was a tougher beast, developed over a couple months while working in South Carolina, Staten Island, and Ohio. Somewhere along the way, I merged the two halves together, then tweaked the vocals and reached into my bag of tricks for some finishing touches (which involved digging up unused backing vocals and percussion from two totally different songs and adjusting them to fit into this new song).

That’s how you get ‘Y.Q.R.’ It’s the longest Paris Street song, but I feel the length is justified. It’s a fun ride, stretching back years to an aborted song based on a flier on a windshield. A dumb idea leading to a better idea.

Enjoy.

------

‘Y.Q.R’ is the first of two songs on an EP called Canada 3. Listen to it on Bandcamp or on Spotify or on any of the other streaming services. Once you’re done with that, give a listen to Canada 1 & 2. And once you’re done with that, wait patiently until Canada 4 comes out in August.

saskatchewan: a journey in gravy

Chair - Travelodge - Weyburn, Saskatchewan

Why are Saskatchewan cops, posing as the homeless, giving tickets to those who stop and unbuckle their seatbelts to give them change? Is there a real problem to public safety of people unbuckling their seatbelts for a few seconds in a stopped car give out change to the homeless? I would say, no. Not at all. So this is purely a revenue generating mechanism by police.

You voted for this jackass.  I wonder how he will deal with stuff that actually matter?
