Movember is a brand new 13th month added the the calendar that has men the world over growing stylish moustaches for the cause of prostate cancer research. Why Movember? Because in a parallel universe, it occurs at the same time as November. And, participants get to be two-faced for a good cause!
In addition to donating my face to the cause (hint, hint - give here, and yes, I became clean shaven in time for Nov. 1 and am presently working on my Grow n' Show status), I have written a song in honour of all those who have ever spent time in that nether-land between knowing you may have a life-threatening illness, but waiting for a confirmed diagnosis and/or treatment. We have all experienced those stuck-in between places of uncertainty at various levels, but I have a special place in my heart for those courageous souls who live there for while, and do so with grace and aplomb.
In honour of anyone that's ever found themselves living in such a time of uncertainty, I'll be performing a new song called "Killin' Frost" tomorrow evening with bassist Rick Unger at the MISC and Winnipeg Folk Festival sponsored Performance Night of Original Music at the Winnipeg Folk Exchange, 211 Bannatyne, Wpg. Doors at 7, stage at 7:30. (see map).
Will other Movemberists be there? Come down and find out!
