Privateer Days in Liverpool, Nova Scotia
July 7, 2007
Kathy got up and journaled. The day was sunny
and breezy. Will got up as others were starting to walk about. After our morning routine we walked down past the few craft booths, the information center, to the bridge and back to the Roadtrek in time to sit out on the street and watch the Privateers Grand Street Parade. After lunch we sat enjoying the sun and goings on at the main stage area then walked up town to the Wood Pile, a coffee shop where the husband brings the drinks and the wife is the carver. We listened to the music of Ardyth and Jennifer, two harp players. Kathy joined the ladies around the cook fire at the Historic Encampment; they were making the days meal of roast and potatoes. The Point Lighthouse is located out on a little point of land near Liverpool Bay. We climbed up to the light and Will blew the foghorn.
On our way back we found the Mersey House and spent the rest of the day and night there listening to music of all sorts starting with Ardyth and Jennifer. They were just as good the second time. There was a mix up with the schedule and they played early; we were just at the right place at the right time. Other afternoon entertainers were: Ian Janes, Delores Degenais and Norma MacDonald. The evening entertainment began with Rebekak Higgs a gale from Halifax that had a unique style of screaming into one microphone that mixed the sound and singing into another microphone. Ron Hyens, a famous Canadian country/folk singer, graced us with a special unannounced appearance. Hal Bruce followed with renditions of the Beatles, Monkeys, and other oldies. It was just about midnight when we walked back to the Roadtrek.
