9pm: Catherine MacLellan & The Olympic Symphonium at the Communitea Cafe in Canmore. I quite enjoyed the opening act, maybe a touch too melancholy for my mood at the time but quite exceptionally gifted musicians. Catherine M. was different class as well, a kind of Laura Cantrell/Eillen Jewell hybrid (which is just about perfection in my book) she came with a neat repertoire of pretty frank songs about her life experiences. Her dad wrote Snowbird, one of the all time classic MOR songs - I didn't realise the family connection until afterwards, it might have explained the somewhat mature audience - probably reminiscing back to the days that particular song made it big in 1971!! Earlier we had George & Lesley round for a really nice Viertnamese flavoured lunch on the deck, al fresco as well..........
