Joanne, Bridget, Jodie & Dwayne

I thought I'd lost this photo from the Grimshaw Hotel...but it's all good! Joanne, Bridget & Jodie are all servers at the hotel.

Dwayne is a cook (currently working for KFC)who has worked in some very "posh" restaurants. I like his attitude. When I introduced myself he said, "There are no strangers in life,...just friends we haven't met yet".

Sheridan, Melissa, Adam & Paul (squatting)


More of the fine staff at the Crown & Anchor. (I finally got a "pic" of Sheridan!) Adam was doing his "ROBO-COP" impression here as he puts the finger on Paul.

Paul will have made a career change by the time this photo is posted. He promised me he'd be back in for a "cold one" next time I'm playing in Grande Prairie!


Me & my new friend, Alicia

Alicia has only been in Grande Prairie for a few months. She's originally from the maritimes and I know she misses all her friends & family back home. To get into the spirit of things, she came up and sang a song with me, and did a good job too!!


Yvan & Sue

Sue hardly sat in one place for more than a few minutes...she was up dancing to almost every song at the Crown & Anchor. Yvan even got up once or twice to "groove" along!


Paul, Kristy, Tammy, Adam, Melissa

Five fantastic smiles... five "fabulous staff" members. I was lucky to be able to catch so many of the Crown & Anchor staff in one photo!
When I'm playing in Grande Prairie, I have a song that each of them likes to hear. It's just my way of thanking them for the great service they offer!!

Mike, Jaynee & Mitch

It's always great to see my friend Jaynee and her "beau" Mike.
Jaynee is like "family" to me and I've known her since my days in Calgary when I used to play with "Fooks & McCann".
Mike is a hardworking guy currently serving the oilpatch in Grande Prairie.

Mitch brought his saxaphone along this night and joined me onstage for "half a dozen" tunes. Wow, what a promising young player!!


Dan, Melissa & Shawn

After "cooking up" some of the finest food around, "Crown & Anchor" kitchen staff, "Dan & Shawn" decided to enjoy some of Melissa's hospitality. (I mean hey,...their shift was over and they wanted to party too!)

Thanks guys, for the great food! I always look forward to the awesome English style "fish & chips" these guys make up for me whenever I play in Grande Prairie.
