Aren’t These Puppies Adorable?
A St. John’s NL reader sent along these shots of a new litter of Dachshund puppies, born last Tuesday. Left to right, are Joannie (named after Joannie Rochette), Monty, Bubbles, Sidney (aka Sid the Kid Crosby), and Lew. Joannie and Lew are over a pound, Monty, Bubbles and Sidney should tip the scales at about two pounds. That’s Mom Fanny at top.
All Women’s Night At LB’s Pub
March 9th - The Woman’s Show with Kate Ammar, Lisa B, Donna Jibaroo, Maria Reid, and Mary Thomas featuring an all woman’s open stage.
This night is intended to show off all the talented of female musicians in and around our area.
I have had the pleasure to watch, listen and play along with a lot of the great female performers we’ve met.
Kate is a mostly choir trained singer who shows guts live and plays a little guitar and will show off some original material accompanied by the house band and her good friend and very talented Zara Domino on (guitar). I asked Kate (my daughter) to host this first time all ladies show and she is very excited for this evening to happen.
Lisa B I have seen numerous times on drums and recently watched her play guitar and sing. Great touch drummer and we will use Lisa on drums, guitar and vocals through the night.
Donna Jibaroo is a great funky blues style bass player who also sings and dabbles on drums and other instruments I am sure. I have had the pleasure to sit in at a couple of gigs with Donna and she showed off her great fronting talents at both gigs.
Maria Reid was the first female drummer I got a chance to see at our open stages back in 2003. Great clock drummer keeping very good timing and always sticking to the meat and potatoes style to keep the time right for the rest of the stage. Maria also played along side Wayne Allchin in a band called backfire for a stint and last we spoke she was looking to put together her own act.
Mary Thomas has to be on of the busiest ladies on the music scene and I am sure a lady a lot of the guys and girls would consider one of the leading vocalists in our area. Fronting the Mary Thomas band she also kept herself very busy on the open jam scene running her own open stages for over 10 years. Also had a stint hosting at the renowned Blues on Whyte. This girl lights up any stage I have ever seen her on and I think will bring in a killer set with the house band. Great powerful soul blues rockin’ singer.
I picked this house band to be the sit in and back up band for anyone who shows up to play and this night will be dedicated to my late mother Basma Ammar who was a hand drummer and would have been so proud to see this night for the girls.
