      I’m
      not
      really
      scared,
     
     
      though...
      it’s
      a
      great
      play
      and
      I
      have
     
     
      great
      people
      helping
      me
      behind
      the
     
     
      scenes,
      so
      as
      long
      as
      we
      work
      hard,
      it
     
     
      should
      come
      off
      really
      well.”
     
    

    
     
      Auditions
      for
      the
      show
      were
     
     
      held
      last
      week,
      but
      the
      society
      is
      always
     
     
      looking
      for
      people
      to
      help
      out
      with
     
     
      props,
      set,
      lighting,
      costumes,
      and
     
     
      construction.
      Anyone
      wishing
      to
     
     
      participate

      Clark
      stated
      that
      experience
      is
     
     
      not
      a
      prerequisite
      for
      joining
      the
      society,
     
     
      or
      even
      helping
      out
      with
      productions.
     
    

    
     
      “Anyone
      can
      be
      a
      part
      of
      the
     
     
      society.
      You
      don’t
      need
      to
      have
      any
     
     
      experience
      at
      all.
      Some
      of
      the
      best
     
     
      people
      involved
      never
      had
      a
      second
      of
     
     
      experience
      before
      they
      started.
      It’s
     
     
      always
      a
      lot
      of
      fun,
      and
      a
      great
      way
      to
     
     
      meet
      a
      lot
      of
      people.”
     
    

    
     
      Clark’s
      own
      experience
      with
     
     
      the
      club
      has
      been
      quite
      varied.
      If
     
     
      anything,
      she
      says,
      one
      will
      never
      have
     
     
      the
      same
      experience
      twice.
     
    

    
     
      “As
      for
      my
      experiences
      with
     
     
      the
      society,
      I’ve
      been
      dressed
      in
     
     
      everything
      from
      a
      push-up
      bra
      and
     
     
      miniskirt
      to
      a

      If
      nothing
      else,

      always
     
     
      different!”

      What
      can’t
      you
      put
      in
      a
      deep
      fryer?
     
     
      Well,
      you
      can’t
      put
      anything
      into
      a
     
     
      deep
      fryer
      unless
      you
      make
      it
      fit
      and
      to
     
     
      be
      sure,
      it
      will
      then
      probably
      maybe
     
     
      taste
      good,
      yah?
      By
      the
      way
      if
      you
     
     
      haven’t
      noticed,
      you
      can
      even,
      er,
      stuff
     
     
      an
      entire
      culture
      inside
      one
      of
      those
     
     
      fantastic
      little
      machines...
     
    

    
     
      BA
      is
      what
      one
      might
      call
      a
     
     
      musical
      comedian
      on
      wheels,
     
     
      describing
      himself
      on
      stage
      as
      being
     
     
      something
      akin
      to
      the
      dead
      metaphor
     
     
      of
      jokes,
      where
      it’s
      the
      straight-ahead
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      humorous
      action
      of
      self-deprecation
      and
     
    
   
   
    
     
      celebrating
      it...
      what’s
      the
      tour
      called
     
     
      again?
      Something
      about
      beating
      a
      dead
     
     
      horse?
     
    

    
     
      BA
      often
      ends
      songs
      suddenly
     
     
      halfway
      through,
      cursing
      himself
      and
      his
     
     
      skills
      and
      asking
      the
      crowd
      why.
      He
     
     
      gives
      the
      feeling
      that
      if
      the
      crowd
      were
     
     
      not
      there
      to
      begin
      with,
      he
      might
      be
     
     
      jabbering
      on
      to
      himself
      in
      this
      manner
     
     
      anyway.
      I
      would
      like
      to
      highlight
      as
      well,
     
     
      that
      while
      such
      disastrous
      show-
     
     
      stopping
      mistakes
      are
      usually
      a
      scene
     
     
      most
      bands
      would
      like
      to
      try
      and
      avoid,
     
     
      with
      Ba
      Johnston
      it’s
      actually
      a
     
     
      thoroughly
      welcome
      and
      integral
      part
     
     
      of
      the
      act.
      In
      fact,
      it’s
      often
      his
      stories
     
     
      and
      diatribes
      at
      these
      little
      junctures
      and
     
     
      in
      between
      songs
      which
      really
      make
      the
     
     
      audience
      listen,
      laugh,
      and
      then
      listen
     
     
      once
      again
      -
      quite
      attentively
      -
      to
      the
     
     
      damn
      hilarious
      lyrics
      of
      his
      songs.

      Before
      ending
      however,
      |
      would
     
     
      like
      to
      add
      that
      when
      BA
      and
      Pelly
      left
     
     
      there
      were
      three
      specific
      places
      in
     
     
      which
      they
      wanted
      to
      stop
      before
      they
     
     
      left
      the
      island
      to
      continue
      their
      tour:
      Cash
     
     
      Converters
      (cheap,
      shitty
      keyboards),
     
     
      the
      Stompin’
      Tom
      Connors
      Museum
     
     
      (ballads
      of
      ketchup
      and
      potatoes),
      and
     
     
      then
      out
      to
      sea
      to
      kiss
      the
      lobster
      and
     
     
      float
      away
      on
      the
      wings
      of
      a
      million
     
     
      soggy
      angels,
      down
      down
      down
      through
     
     
      the
      old
      burning
      ring
      of
      fire
      in
      Mt.
     
     
      Stewart,
      and
      then
      up
      up
      up
      and
      over
     
     
      the
      rainbow
      (also
      in
      Mt.
      Stewart)
      for
     
     
      their
      next
      stop
      in
      Halifax,
      NS.

      this

      kick
     
     
      yourself
      too
      hard:

      everyone
     
     
      alive
      that’s
      not
      dead
      will
      definitely
      want
