Rock On Live

Live on the Rock:  Our dear friend and architect, James (far right)--or "Dames," as Aurora calls him--with "The Walk-On Band" (so named because two of the band members "walk on" the ferry to get to their gigs on Bowen Island) performed as part of the festivities commemorating Steamship Days, celebrating the Island's history as a popular tourist destination in a bygone era.  Musically, James is such a major afficionado (hope I got that right--spellcheck doesn't seem to like it--actually spellcheck doesn't seem to like the word "spellcheck" either!!!) of The Grateful Dead that, as we were saying, his band are changing their name to "The Walk-On (or perhaps Walkin'?) Dead"... In any case, they managed to liven up a grey day in the Cove, and even had folks dancin' in in the rain.  Turns out Aurora is a born dancer with a sense of rhythm and movement that the rest of us can only hope to emulate!  The other day, Rory was going on and on about "Penny and Dames," and we asked her if she had a little crush on Penny.  "No," she replied firmly:  "Dames." Rock on, baby!
