It took me a while to remember ... I was playing music at a huge celebration [Solstice summer party/festival] at Slave Lake and had to do a jam stage early morning stage with a number of [some very famous...others not so much but talented none-the-less but I digress...lol] other musicians. It was Father's day and I had gotten a Brazilian artist to create a set of Shaman's sticks for my Dad. I have them now. Anyhow ... I looked out over the heads of about a thousand people all sitting or laying in repose on the ground, you know, festival style... when suddenly I see a rather large group of Native American elders and Chiefs carrying my father up on their shoulders and making quite the stir!! My Dad was a Metis Honorary Chief of Seven Nations and .... I could not believe my eyes until they got closer and I saw my wee step-mom trailing behind! What a sight and what an entrance!!!  Happy be-lated Father's day guys!   LOL

He and my 'mom decided last minute to drive almost a thousand miles just to come and see me up there... what a special memory it is so thanks for asking JH!
