SRSS 6 Year Anniversary Recap

The curtain draws on 6 years of the SRSS... people do look happy.

I hate putting on Shows... I really do.  I was ill with regret for 2 days after... people were like are you crazy! That was a great show everybody had a blast!

Some of the things in my loath list were... actually on revision i just deleted this part.. probably best.

From the song One Little Dream (21 Tandem Repeats):

"art is a line and it follows a spine and you know when you know when it works , regret is a step and you should not let all the things you did wrong get you down".

I think i need to remember those words.

Oddly enough i was over at the Dawson post Folk Festival party this weekend  hanging with some pretty sucussful music people, and of course being me i get into it and they all tell me i am crazy to worry about that... everything is always going wrong to your vision but if people had a good time then that's why they go out to be entertained... and then i got on the snare drum and played beats while Dan Bern and Sam Parton sang duets and they looked over and smiled and said "right on here we go".

I do need to give grand props to the band... Shawn Killaly on drums, Jason Jones on piano, Christopher Johnson on bass, Willingdon Black on guitar, and Sandra Bouza on vocals.  They improvised the show the whole way and were on the money the whole time...



So i think photos tell the story... thanks to Moustachman who won the gold for photography... wonder why?  The photo's are up and ready to go when i need them.  And to those dozen or so people who i asked to bring me a list of five people in the audience when i was up giving awards and you all failed... but worry not, in my mind i failed worse.

The Legion of Flying Monkeys Horn Orchestra stomps down a solid set while the audience salivates over the awards... all hoping, praying that they might get a chance for glory.

A happy table of folks tries to make small talk to keep their minds off the riveting excitement of how the awards will go down.

Jesse Matheson and Cameron Dilworth come correct and serve up some excellent recognition plaques.

Wanky wins an award for best human.

Genny Trigo could have won any number of awards and best female vocal on a recording (One Little Dream, 21 Tandem Repeats 2011) was one of the first ones she picked up.

Should have won best dressed couple but the guy running the show is an aggressive hammerhead and he dropped the ball on many key points.

A round of high fives from the winners circle.

Cameron Dilworth takes home best male Vocal.

Well we were about to give out the happiest drummer award... so i believe Shawn Killaly was lobbying at the last minute.

The Johnny Wildkat "Multitask award"

Super Steve had a big night raking home a tonne of medal, while King Dinosaur remained shut-out until the wee hours

One of the great failures of the night was the fact that CT didn't get an award either... unbelievable, she baked the cake, made the awards and looks after the kids every night during the SRSS.  So if you feel cheated for not getting an award give your head a shake.

Multiple award winner Simon... don't know his last name.

Who has fun the the SRSS? Curtis and Pockets do!

Who is the seenster drinking PBR hanging with all the winners?

i believe she won "person who bought the biggest piece of shit automobile"

On July 20 2011 the SRSS will be done by Cam and Jesse who had this to say about the show:

I think our theme for this one will be the "Cure for the Summer Time Blues". Were going to be exploring ways to deal with this cloudy,rainy summer and the depression that it brings. Should be informative and educational. It will turn frowns upside-down.
