Let’s
      roll
      the
      clock
      back
     
    

    
     
      baby,
      holy
      shit,
      I
      think
      I
      skipped
      a
     
     
      few
      beats.
      Did
      we
      just
      have
      spring
     
     
      break
      or
      what?
      That
      was
      the
     
     
      quickest
      week
      of
      my
      life.
      All
      I
     
     
      know
      is
      that
      there
      was
      a
      lot
      of
     
     
      snow,
      and
      a
      lot
      of
      good
      times!
      Last
     
     
      Friday
      the
      Danny
      Main
      St.
      Band
     
     
      played
      at
      the
      Wave,
      and
      I
      know
      it
     
     
      was
      a
      while
      ago,
      and
      that
      that
     
     
      night
      might
      have
      been
      messy,
      but
     
     
      let
      me
      remind
      you...
      It
      was
      a
      long
     
     
      week
      and
      everybody
      was
      looking
     
     
      forward
      to
      our
      break,
      and
      we
      wast-
     
     
      ed
      no
      time
      in
      getting
      wasted!
      |
     
     
      don't
      know
      how
      many
      parties
      were
     
     
      going
      on,
      but
      Brown’s
      Court
      was
     
     
      shakin’!
      We
      left
      the
      safety
      and
     
     
      comfort
      of
      our
      PEI
      kitchen
      party
     
     
      and
      headed
      up
      to
      the
      Wave
      to
      see
     
     
      if
      getting
      more
      hammered
      was
     
     
      possible
      --
      and
      it
      was!

      flavorable
      flavor.

      What
      a
      Week
     
    
   
   
    
     
      by
      Rob
      MacPherson
     
    
   
   
    
     
      from
      Halifax
      who
      plays
      bass,
      but
      I
     
     
      forget
      who
      he
      is.
      But
      seriously,
     
     
      these
      guys
      were
      good.
      They
     
     
      played
      most
      of
      their
      own
      shit,
     
     
      which
      is
      hard
      to
      put
      a
      finger
      on,
      as
     
     
      most
      original
      music
      is,
      but
      it's
      def-
     
     
      initely
      rock
      with
      a
      twist.
      It
      makes
     
     
      you
      feel
      good
      all
      over.
      The
      high-
     
     
      light
      of
      the
      night
      was
      two
      Pink
     
     
      Floyd
      covers,
      which
      I
      swear
      to
     
     
      god
      sounded
      like
      pure
      stereo.
     
     
      They
      even
      had
      Norm
      playing
      a
      lap
     
     
      steel
      guitar
      that
      does
      all
      the
      crazy
     
     
      sound
      effects!
      Did
      I
      say
      already
     
     
      that
      they
      kick
      ass,
      they
      totally
      do
     
     
      dude!
      The
      bar
      scene
      was
      buzzin,’
     
     
      and
      although
      there
      wasn't
      a
      huge
     
     
      crowd
      the
      vibe
      was
      ill
      chilled,
     
     
      good
      times
      for
      all.
      Every
      one
      just
     
     
      seemed
      content
      doing
      what
      ever
      it
     
     
      was
      they
      wanted
      to
      do.
      Dance,
      sit,
     
     
      listen,
      talk,
      drink,
      we
      were
      all
      over
     
     
      the
      place,
      and
      we
      were
      all
      ham-
     
     
      mered,
      it
      was
      all
      alright.
     
    

    
     
      It
      was
      a
      dude
      named
      Douce
     
     
      who
      took
      up
      the
      beat.
      As
      he
      men-
     
     
      tioned
      to
      me
      that
      the
      noise
      sound-
     
     
      ed
      neat,
      he
      walked
      on
      over
      and
     
     
      started
      tapping
      his
      feet.
      He
      looked
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      all
      around
      him
      and
      soon
      he
      did
      see
     
     
      a
      whole
      bunch
      of
      people
      that
      were
     
     
      doing
      as
      he.
     
     
      Now
      Douce
      ain't
      no
      con-
     
     
      ductor,
      but
      he
      is
      an
      instructor,
      on
     
     
      the
      caboose
      which
      is
      loose,
      as
      a
     
     
      goose,
      who
      lives
      in
      the
      spruce
     
     
      with
      the
      big
      ol
      moose,
      who
      is
      also
     
     
      quite
      loose,
      but
      not
      as
      the
      goose,
     
     
      no,
      no,
      only
      the
      goose
      who
      is
     
     
      loose
      is
      possibly
      quite
      close
      to
     
     
      being
      as
      loose
      as
      the
      Douce.
     
     
      Forward
      to
      Thursday,
     
     
      Boom,
      who
      was
      expecting
      that
     
     
      shit!
      Three
      words:
      Shut
      'er
      Down!
     
     
      Wow
      we
      got
      a
      lot
      of
      snow.
      Two
     
     
      good
      friends
      of
      mine,
      and
      I
      went
     
     
      out
      in
      the
      storm
      to
      see
      what
      we
     
     
      could
      see,
      and
      it
      wasn't
      much.
     
     
      Everything
      was
      white;
      it
      felt
      as
     
     
      though
      I
      was
      an
      explorer
      in
      the
     
     
      freakin
      Arctic,
      but
      there
      were
     
     
      other
      people
      out
      and
      they
      were
     
     
      building
      snow
      forts
      (crazy
      loons).
     
     
      Speaking
      of
      which,
      it
      was
     
     
      rumoured
      that
      there
      were
      people
     
     
      building
      a
      huge
      fort
      in
      the
      drift
     
     
      that
      formed
      beside
      the
      SUB,
      the
     
     
      blower
      got
      a
      good
      piece
      of
      it,
      but

      you
      can
      still
      see
      some
      remains.
     
     
      And
      speaking
      of
      drifts,
      and
      crazy
     
     
      loons,
      it
      was
      also
      rumoured
      that
     
     
      people
      were
      jumping
      off
      the
      KCI
     
     
      side
      of
      the
      library,
      crazy!!!
     
    

    
     
      The
      snow,
      although
      fun
      for
     
     
      forts
      and
      for
      jumping
      into,
      did
     
     
      manage
      to
      keep
      all
      mainland
     
     
      bands
      off
      the
      island.
      I
      don't
      know
     
     
      about
      you,
      but
      I
      was
      looking
      for-
     
     
      ward
      to
      Grand
      Theft
      Bus
      on
     
     
      Friday.
      This
      band
      is
      great,
      and
      the
     
     
      crowds
      at
      their
      shows
      are
      even
     
     
      better.
      However,
      the
      snow
      didn't
     
     
      stop
      local
      bands
      like
      Warehouse
     
     
      from
      doing
      their
      thing.
      With
      most
     
     
      of
      the
      bands
      roots
      coming
      from
     
     
      Kensington,
      they
      gel
      nicely
      and
     
     
      have
      an
      easy
      going
      attitude
      that
     
     
      reflects
      their
      on
      stage
      presence.
     
     
      With
      sweet
      lyrics,
      and
      smooth
     
     
      sound,
      expect
      to
      be
      hearing
      their
     
     
      beats
      all
      around.
     
    

    
     
      So
      here's
      to
      everyone
     
     
      whose
      car
      was
      buried
      (let
      alone
     
     
      their
      front
      door),
      and
      who
      took
      the
     
     
      storm
      in
      stride,
      Snow
      Days
      Rule!
     
     
      Keep
