Tom Wilson performs at Home Routes House Concert in Onanole
Tom Wilson is a tall man. He has a big voice. His presence is large. His song-writing is full-on. Everything about Tom Wilson causes you to remember him. His paintings are delightful. Over 40 people enjoyed Tom’s humour, songs, and his music at a Home Routes House Concert that was full of insights, great live music, and laughter. It seemed that we went down the road of musical Canadiana, into the trials and tribulations of growing up, and in and out of personal stories from Tom’s unique perspective and insights.
Tom and Angela (his roadie who also does his website and Stephen Fearing’s website) were storm-stayed an extra day at our place. I asked Tom for a few moments of his time to do a short podcast, before they left for Winnipeg. He obliged. His words are full of experience. He sang the beautiful haunting Stoned while sitting at the dining table and left his song-writing mark….moving on to other Home Routes House Concerts in Manitoba this week, and a tour in the US with Cowboy Junkies over the next couple of weeks. Thank you Tom!
Listen to the short podcast with him and the lovely version of Stoned:

New bulletin from Cate Watrous, at Riding Mountain National Park….
With nearly 400 km of trails, Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP) strives to be the premier destination of trail users of all persuasions, whether they prefer travel by foot, bike or horse. There is something for every interest and ability from the handicapped accessible boardwalk trail of Ominnik Marsh, to the spectacular experience of a mountain bike descent on the J.E.T. trail along the North Escarpment.

To understand the trail system in RMNP, it helps to understand the history of the park. In the early days, logging was permitted and even encouraged for relief workers during the Great Depression. This led to a series of roads being built to provide access to stands of timber. When logging was discontinued in the park, these wide level tracks were converted into what still makes up the backbone of the trail system today.
When you plan your Earth Rhythmscustomized guided outing (Call us at 1.204.848.4680 to help plan a special family or small group experience), we can make additional recommendations for you for self-guided, unique Riding Mountain trail experiences that will provide you with opportunities for wildlife viewing, photography, or a picnic lunch where few others are to be found.
