Long live the pencil pushers!
I'm enthused to be reading your notes on getting out of vancouver and
going
home, Chuk. I'm glad for you that you're back in your original somping
grounds for the first time in years. I can imagine the excitement and
the
strangeness of going "home". Only I never get the drama of a tornado
when i
return to Southwestern Ontario. Been back from the You- kon take it or
you-con leave it. More on that later. Must go prerecord Hillbilly
Heaven.
Billy bragg is playing in Victrollia on Sunday. Quit my job to finish

Hi Charles,
I've just come back from your web page, having read your story in
progress
about your journey to see Van at GM Place. Chapter One is definitely a
keeper! I'll watch for your updates. I like your taste in music, too.
Take it where you find it,
Shannon
Hey, your website is gorgeous, by the way! I've read most of your own
continuing story on it, too. You seem to write in a Kerouac style
somewhat.
Well, I have to finish that. I got to the part about your green-eyed,
red-
haired lady in the bar, and then it seemed kinda like something for men
or
something, so I shrugged and let it be for the time being; I'll come
back to
it, though. Is it something already finished, I wonder, that story of
yours!
Or are you still continuing with it? It's nice reading, really is.

Enjoying the hell out of your not-so-spiritual journey to see VTM!
Looking forward to the next chapter(s). Getting a 2nd cup of java and
settling down to read Whitehorse To Halifax...
I saw both shows at the Gorge in George, WA. My FIRST chance to see Van
so I took full advantage. Very different performances. Van on his game
and into the music on night one. The 2nd night, when he was "the
headliner", it seemed as if he came to do a completely different set,
straight jazz, but it fell apart a bit and he became irritable and
uninterested. His band carried it though, great horns, great set.

Great site, I've talked with my various traveling comrades about
grabbing some free space on a Geo-Cities or something and posting trip
reports. I'm off with two of those friends for an adventure in the
Methow Valley this weekend, and perhaps to bag a peak in the Pasayten
Wilderness as well. Maybe there's a story for story to the Nepenthe
Journal to be written, we'll see. Of the two friends I speak we share
similar tastes in music to you, one being as into Van's music as I, the
other a Tom Waits enthusiast and all three will definitely dig some
Pogues and Shane MacGowan on our road trip this afternoon!
Regards!
Hi,
I saw your web site today. I'm really enjoying your story about going
to
the Van concert in Vancouver.
I'm also a big fan of Van's music.
Looking forward to the next installment. I can really connect to your
feelings of finding a stripper dancing to Van music. Heaven! Sometime
in
1988, I was listening to the radio and they played 3 Van songs in a
row...Tupelo Honey, Got to Go Back and Queen of the Slipstream. I'd
known of Van since Gloria came out in the Sixties. Thought he was
washed-up sometime in the early 70's.
But after I heard those three songs, I got hooked, and still am!
Regards,
Tony Robertson
