Manitobae

September 16, 2019 - 11:40am - by Alyson Shane

A few weeks ago John and I performed an original song we wrote at the Rainbow Trout Music Festival open mic.

It's called "Manitobae" and it's about a particular kind of Manitoban man

many of whom were clearly sitting around Carpet Beach listening to us sing, by the sound of the cheers and clapping.

I don't have a great singing voice, and I sounded raspy af, but I'm really proud of our song and of our little band. This is Big Trouble in Little Wolseley's 3rd year performing!

I've experienced a few losses recently and I haven't been feeling the same connection to my community as I typically do.

But this video is a good reminder that there are like-minded folks out there, and instead of focusing on the weird, negative feelings still swirling around inside of me.

I'd like to share this moment in time with you because it makes me happy.

I hope it makes you happy, too.
