Hang time with The Hawk
What a thrill to have a visit from the legendary Rompin’ Ronnie Hawkins backstage at the 2nd annual Gainey Foundation benefit concert in Peterborough Ontario last weekend. The concert was a sold out success and featured, along with PBF, Greg Keelor (Blue Rodeo), The Sadies, Sarah Harmer, Murray Mclaughlin, John Mcdermott along with many others. The concert was a whopping 3hours 45 minutes long. The good folks in Bob Gainey’s home town certainly got their money’s worth!
“I’ve spent 90% of my money on booze and broads. The other 10% I’ve squandered.”
-Ronnie Hawkins
