Man, Fred Penner is a good dude.

We started our day in Winnipeg with Breakfast TV at 8am. I surprised myself yet again by somehow managing to sing that early in the morning. I wonder if I’ll be able to pull it off every time… Next thing was to head down the road (literally, only like 200 feet) to The Forks so we could suss out where we were playing and set up. Fred came down early to teach us a couple tunes, which was super cool! We got fed amazing cinnamon buns from an organic bakery that had a mini stone mill to grind their own grain! So, so, so friggin’ good. Then the kids started to gather and we knew it was time to play. Fred killed it and Dan and I had a great time backing him up. Kind of surreal to play ‘Proud’ with Fred Penner… I have to make a shout out and thank you to all the media that showed up. The support was truly incredible. Global, City, CTV, CBC TV/Radio & The Associated Free Press… Spanks guys. As per use at the shows we do at Farmer’s Markets, we loaded up with grocories and left Winnipeg a bunch of full bellied, happy people.

Fred Penner is a national treasure… and so is his entire family. Thank you, thank you, thank you Fred!!

Roll the video, Bill…
