| Thursday in the Square GBS's Operetta |
| A little shameless self-promotion went on next for the new album, The Hard and the Easy, due out in October. Alan explained the next song was not a sailing song, like you might expect, but it came from Central Newfoundland and was about the way the people there made their living in the winter in Newfoundland � logging. I knew exactly what song it was going to be but I had hoped for Tickle Cove Pond, which is also about hauling wood. It was the new one we heard the other night called River Driver. Absolutely going to be a sing-along once people get to know the words. The chorus is extremely easy to remember. In fact, I�ve had it going through my head for the past four days. There were quite a few people singing along by the end and they b�ys looked proud. Their harmonies were nothing short of delicious, if I say so myself. |

| "I'll eat when I am hungry, I'll drink when I am dry, Get drunk whenever I'm ready and get sober by and by; And if the river don't drown me, when I go out to roam, For I'm a river driver and I'm far away from home." |

| "I'll build my love a castle upon some mountain high,
Where she can sit there and view me as I go riding by; Where she can sit there and view me when I go out to roam, For I'm a river driver and I'm far away from home." |

| �Sean�s coming out tonight,� Alan stated casually as an intro to the next song. It was Paddy Murphy - the �Buffalo girls got loaded drunk� tonight. Great fun, with the crowd singing along. Bob was happy playing accordion for this! |
