Welcome to the Gumboot Bloggeroo! You won't get many hits from the Top 40 here - more like misses from the Back 40. Proudly behind the times, I perform traditional and not-so-traditional music from the East Coast of Canada - songs and tunes, with harmonica, fiddle, guitar, piano, and whatever else is on hand. Check out the samples, the pictures, the information, the misinformation, the free advice, the second-hand opinions, and whatever else I end up dumping here ....

Irrepressible Hopefulness
From Middlemarch, by George Eliot:
So Fred was gratified with nearly an hour’s practice of Ar hyd y nos,
Ye banks and braes, and other favourite airs from his Instructor on
the Flute; a wheezy performance, into which he threw much ambition and
an irrepressible hopefulness.
