"This week, those social drinkers I
call my circle of friends and I ventured deep into tourist country for some beers and music at the
Snow Goose microbrewery."
"Music for the night was provided by McLeod, a five-piece
bluegrass-style ensemble with a lot of fan support. On stage the band
members showed a certain casual grace, joking with the audience and each other until
everyone felt at home."
"The music was lively and complex, and even if you don't
like bluegrass, it's hard not to tap your feet to the upbeat rhythms. The group played old
and new songs, exploring every nuance of the genre and even breaking out a dobro for a few
songs."
"We spent several hours there, just soaking up the
down-home attitude. Helping McLeod, several members from the Fur Rondy melodrama
stopped in - they had a performance downstairs earlier - to lend a tap show or two to the
proceedings. It's the most fun you can have with a banjo, legally."
