Alan Doyle! He's one of the two frontmen of Great Big Sea, my favorite band of all time. They do a mix of ridiculously upbeat pop and modern treatments of traditional Newfoundland music. I've linked one of my favorites below - it's one of the several songs they sing about pulling horses out of half frozen ponds.

They split up a couple years ago, now he's touring with his own band. The concerts are always amazingly fun, and they always come through near where I live, which is a bonus.

That's awesome! I'm familiar with Great Big Sea. There's a band called honeyhoney that I'm going to see soon for like the 8th time. They're kinda folksy, what I imagine country music SHOULD have been instead of the corporate assembly line it is today.

Morning all! I'm going to go see my absolute favorite musician of all time play tonight! There may also be brisket involved beforehand. So excited!

What's making you happy today?
I received a fraudulent check in the mail for $2,200 and told to go to a walmart to 'evaluate' their western union staff due to complaints of poor service.
The way this scam works is the check goes into your account, and the balance updates automatically
- many banks adjust the ledger before the check has cleared.
a few days later, the check will not have cleared,
and your account will reduce the funds associated with the bad check.
by that point in time, however, you are expected to have already wired the full check amount (less promised incentive) from your bank account.

Yes -- this scam has been around for years -- but I've never heard about the part with evaluating the staff at Western Union. They usually just want you to deposit the funds, keep some for yourself, and send the rest to them. Unfortunately a lot of elderly people (not internet savvy) fall for this :(

Every time I try to sell something on Craigslist the money order scammers come out in droves - so irritating.

My sister got one of those - her friend also. Took me a while to explain how the same worked because they wanted to BELIEVE.
