  Wakefield - a swingin' place

Thanks Kirk, Marty:

If you're ever hangin' aruond Wakefield on a summer weekend, at about noon a steam train (built in 1907) rolls into town, full of tourists making the trip from Gatineau to Wakefield. A bunch of employee musicians jump off the train with beat up guitars (about five guitarists, and two fiddlers - all kids). They sing traditional french Canadian songs for about an hour, then jump back on the train to serenade the tourists on the trip back. It's a blast to see this.

Now that's the sort of summer job I would love to see my son doing when he's older!

Best,

D
