      rupturing
      version
      of
      “High”
     
     
      by
      Jimmie’s
      Chicken
      Shack,
     
     
      as
      well
      as
      a
      couple
      of
      other
     
     
      covers,
      like
      “Baba
      O’
      Reilly,”
     
     
      and
      the
      big
      mother
      of
      them
     
     
      all,
      Led
      Zeppelin’s
      “Immi-
     
     
      grant
      Song,”
      which
      they
     
     
      played
      as
      their
      first
      of
      two
     
     
      encores.
     
    

    
     
      They
      also
      played
      some
     
     
      new
      material,
      including
      the
     
     
      song
      which
      I
      believe
      was
     
     
      called
      “Everything
      Is
      Fine,”
     
     
      as
      their
      second
      and
      last
      en-
     
     
      core.
      After
      that,
      they
      did
      a
     
     
      rousing
      version
      of
      “Row,
     
     
      Row,
      Row
      Your
      Boat,”
      and
     
     
      then
      sang
      “O
      Canada.”
      No
     
     
      kidding.
      After
      lan
      finished
     
     
      the
      first
      line
      of
      “O
      Canada,”
     
     
      he
      left
      his
      feedbacking
      gui-
     
     
      tar
      on
      stage
      and
      they
      walked
     
     
      off.
      A
      very
      interesting
      end-
     
     
      ing
      to
      a
      very
      good
      show.
     
    

    
     
      The
      crowd
      at
      Myron’s
     
     
      was
      very
      into
      the
      show,
      and
     
     
      Big
      Wreck
      seemed
      to
      appre-
     
     
      ciate
      it.
      He
      did
      give
      us
      a
      few
     
     
      compliments,
      commenting
     
     
      on
      our
      frequent
      use
      of
      the
     
     
      split-fingered
      rock
      salute,
      the
     
     
      universal
      sign
      for
      “‘yeaaah!”
     
    

    
     
      “You
      guys
      are
      cool,
      no
     
     
      one
      in
      the
      States
      does
      that.
     
     
      The
      States
      suck!”
      he
      ex-
     
     
      claimed.
      How
      true,
      how
      true.
     
     
      He
      had
      to
      cover
      his
      back,
     
     
      though.

      from
      Toronto
     
     
      originally,
      but
      his
      bandmates
     
     
      are
      all
      from
      Boston.
      The
     
     
      band’s
      sound
      certainly
      was
     
     
      big,
      perhaps
      a
      bit
      swampy,
     
     
      but
      nothing
      short
      of
      abso-
     
     
      lutely
      rockin’.
      If
      Myron’s
      has
     
     
      a
      butt,
      they
      rocked
      it
      off
      that
     
     
      night
      with
      loud,
      stellar
      play-
     
     
      ing,
      and
      a
      great
      stage

      like

      he

      |
      know.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      That
      may
      be
      why
      their
      cover
     
     
      of
      Led
      Zeppelin’s
      “Immi-

      is
      such
      a
      great
     
     
      fit
      for
      them
      and
      why
      they
      do
     
     
      it
      so
      well.
     
    

    
     
      To
      make
      a
      bit
      of
      this
     
     
      long
      story
      shorter,
      |
      managed
     
     
      to
      get
      into
      the
      “Band
      Only”
     
     
      room
      upstairs
      after
      the
      show,
     
     
      along
      with
      about
      8
      other
     
     
      lucky
      people,
      unlike
      the
      poor
     
     
      girl
      trying
      to
      get
      in,
      who
     
     
      yelled
      through
      the
      door,
      “I’ve
     
     
      got
      perky
      breasts!”
      We
      were
     
     
      told
      we
      only
      had
      about
      15
     
     
      minutes,
      so
      we
      all
      talked
      and
     
     
      got
      autographs
      as
      quickly
      as
     
     
      we
      could
      before
      the
      band
      had
     
     
      to
      beat
      it
      for
      the
      bus
      to
      make
     
     
      their
      way
      to
      New
      Brunswick.
     
    

    
     
      They
      signed
      some
      nice
     
     
      big
      posters,
      and
      somehow
      |
     
     
      didn’t
      get
      one.
      I
      was
      still
     
     
      happy
      though.
      I
      got
      all
      four
     
     
      of
      Big
      Wreck’s
      members
      to
     
     
      sign
      my
      CD,
      and
      got
      to
      have
     
     
      a
      little
      chat
      with
      Forrest
     
     
      Williams,
      their
      drummer.
     
    

    
     
      After
      I
      thanked
      Forrest
     
     
      for
      the
      comments
      and
      we
     
     
      shook
      hands
      &
      parted,
      I
      no-
     
     
      ticed
      Emm
      Gryner
      at
      a
      table
     
     
      behind
      me.
      Just
      her
      and
      her
     
     
      bandmates,
      laughing
      and
     
     
      having
      a
      good
      time,
      with
      no
     
     
      fans
      around
      them.
      So,
      I
      de-
     
     
      cided
      I’d
      go
      and
      meet
      her.
     
     
      We
      talked
      for
      a
      short
      amount
     
     
      of
      time,
      about
      various
      things.
     
     
      She
      said
      things
      were
      going
     
     
      well
      for
      her
      right
      now,
      and
     
     
      then
      I
      congratulated
      her
      on
     
     
      her
      Juno
      nomination.
     
    

    
     
      So,
      to
      sum
      it
      up,
      it
      was
     
     
      one
      helluva
      show
      from
      a
     
     
      great
      group
      and
      a
      great

      Pete
      Seeger
      is
      one
      of
     
     
      America’s
      best
      loved
      and
     
     
      highly
      respected
      musicians.
     
     
      Born
      in
      1919,
      he
      is
      still
      ac-
     
     
      tive
      in
      the
      folk
      circle.
      In
     
     
      fact,
      he
      won
      a
      Gramm
     
     
      Award
      in
      1997
      for
      his
      al-
     
     
      bum
      “Pete”,
      which
      was
      re-
     
     
      leased
      on
      the
      Living
      Music
     
     
      label.
      Despite
      being
      in
      his
     
     
      late
      seventies
      when
      record-
     
     
      ing
      this
      CD,
      his
      voice
      is
      just
     
     
      as
      Clear
      as
      ever,
      and
      the
      one
     
     
      weakness
      that
      he
      has
      ac-
     
     
      quired
      in
      his
      old
      age
      —
      he
     
     
      can’t
      hit
      the
      high
      notes
      like
     
     
      he
      used
      to
      —
      is
      remedied
      by
     
     
      the
      appearance
      of
      a
      choir
     
     
      that
      backs
      him
      in
      many
      of
     
     
      the
      albums
      18
      tracks.
     
    

    
     
      There
      are
      a
      couple
      of
     
     
      Pete’s
      better
      known
      songs
     
     
      on
      this
      album,
      “Garbage”
     
     
      and
      “Kisses
