Excellent. I’ve played with bands in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Ontario. We’re talking the Barra McNeils, Great Big Sea, and the Irish Descendants. All on spoons, of course.

I played with the Tuesday night jam at the Auld Triangle in Halifax. I played on the _Smallwood_, going from North Sydney to Argentia.

I played with Stompin’ Tom, way back when,

Yes, I can play spoons, hence my username. Also, my nickname in real life: “Hey Spoons, can you pick me up after the show?” Yeah, sure. Always remember that I am Spoons. The dumbest nickname ever, but it’s mine, and I can prove it. And frankly, I like it.
