Well here's a decent picture of Timi and Michael.
This picture was taken on May 28, 2005. It was twenty-five years ago to the day that I arrived in Calgary with 6 other graduates of the former, Nova Scotia Land Survey Institute./Nagyon jol nezunk ki!!! 2005 Majus 28, Michael 25 evvel ezelott ezen a napon erkezett Calgaryba.

Michael's & Timi's Hobby!

This picture was taken in Barbados during our trip with the band in February, 2004. Although we had played at numerous locations throughout Barbados, there was still time to play in the sun, water and sand!

This is just a couple of pictures of Timi and Michael in the band, click on the link...

  • to see more pictures and information on the band.
    .
    Timi on 6 bass, she originally played on one of the lead pans but switched after the first year to help out as required.
    .
    This is Michael on cello, 3 pans about ½ a metre in depth, we play the "humm" (harmony) in the band similar to the cello section of a string orchestra. We are known as the "glue" of the band but I'd be more inclined to say "Krazy glue" of the band! Barry is also in the picture playing 4 bass, not quite as deep as the 6 bass that Timi plays. Barry is also a very versatile member, able to switch between bass or drums/percussion on a moments notice.

    Brian in an unnatural football pose. A force to be reckoned with!

    Brian's new competitive sport, football!


    Nice campfire, a little too big for roasting marshmallows just yet.


    Brian's in charge of starting the fire for the wiener / marshmallow roast tonight!

    Anita - More Pictures

    "That dessert was soo goood, I think I'll have seconds!"

    Anita posing down at our campsite.

    "Hold still Mommy, I need to redden up that nose a little more!"

    Daddy's turn, this will take some concentration, hence the tongue!

    Fine job Anita, you're quite the Artist!

    Okay now it's Anita's turn to have her face painted.

    Such a natural...

    Anita is such a natural poser and when it's time to take the picture she likes to get silly.

    Anita was okay to wear the clowns wig around the house, but when it came time to go door to door... forget it!


    All set for Trick or Treating... Anita had hoped for milder weather just like the rest of us... but that's Calgary for you!
