Just found out that, according to her website, Loreena McKennitt will peform on Thursday, September 25, at “historic Fryfogel’s Tavern, 12km east of her hometown of Stratford, Ontario.” The short solo performance “is part of a fundraising evening being held by the Perth County Historical Foundation” to restore the Tavern, and it will follow a lavish dinner based on an old-fashioned menu, predominantly venison. Participation will cost $250 CDN ($182 US).Uncharacteristically the meal does not interest me as much as the chance to hear Ms McKennitt perform. She has not been in the public eye for quite a while, and to have the chance to hear that haunting voice again — and in such a quaint and intimate setting — is one I should not miss. If I wasn’t such an recluse I would’ve already contacted the Perth County Historical Foundation and reserved a spot!
Oh just go! It will do you good to get out.
‘And who can pass up parsnips?
I know, but there’s the drive and the expense and — and I’ll have to eat artichokes for crying out loud!
Well, you can always skip the artichokes. Plus in a small group like that you might get the chance to even meet and talk to her.
