The Calgary Folk Festival Songwriting Competition 2009 - Best Song of Alberta

The competition was stiffer than the a Ronnette's beehive, but Doug Waite of the Bownesians, for the second year in a row, took the title of "Best Song of Alberta". Yeehaw!!

Winning the contest again means money to finish our CD and the opportunity to play at the fabulous Calgary Folk Festival once again (Leah is going to consume only throat lossenges for two straight weeks before the festival, as to avoid another embarrassing voice-losing incident like last year).

Here we are, fresh from "Bowness Garbage Day" where we played on the back of a trailor being pulled by a tractor, on the Ship and Anchor stage performing Doug's winning song "Alan Saved the Radio Station."
