 Leeroy Stagger, Dave McCann and  John Wort Hannam took turns playing brand new songs as well as old favourites for a good sized crowd at the Slice, Dec. 18, which brought  an intense 14 date, 4,000 km tour all over Alberta to a close.


 All three noted how happy they were to be back home, before taking turns sharing new songs and contributing extra vocal harmonies and  sometimes harp to each others songs.


 They donated five dollars from each ticket sold to the Lethbridge Food Bank.


 The first song each  musician played had the theme of travelling.

 Leeroy Stagger introduced a new song  called “Dirty Windshield” about  how “time seems to move so slow buy when you get home, the hair gets greyer and the  kids get older. Dave McCann  followed that up by playing an excellent new up beat, folk rock song called “Mexican Sparrow.”
 John Wort Hannam answered that with a new song of his own.


 Then the three delved back into their back catalogue with  Stagger playing “Long Way Home and McCann playing “Leaving this Town” as  Hannam played crowd favourite “ With the Grain.”


 The quiescent crowd sat still, enraptured by the performances causing McCann to remark  about how great it was for them to be “listening rather than partying.”
Stagger ended the first set by playing  a highlight “ I Believe In Love”  off his latest CD.
