Last Friday I dashed out to Mont-Royal metro to meet the lovely Catherine T. While I was waiting, I stood about 15 feet away from this young fellow, thoroughly enjoying his bluesy accordion stylings. Catherine T. bought a vintage camera from me for $10, which I then walked over to Scott so that I could purchase a CD. I've been enjoying it all dang weekend.
