Sunday May 19, 8pm-Midnight - All Ages WelcomeCottage Bistro, 4468 Main St., Vancouver The R'N'B Toasters with The Butterhorns The bands feature Big Hank Lionhart (Vocals), Wayne Kozak (Sax) and the same musicians as The Kingpins in 2004 except without Jack Lavin. I doubt you will hear the same Motown/Funk/Soul that all of the other R'N'B bands play, not with Big Hank's great booming voice! My guess is their set lists will include: Snatchin' it Back (George Jackson and Clarence Carter), I Got Loaded (Los Lobos), That's Right (Room Full of Blues), Keep on Drinkin (Arthur Big Boy Crudup), Honey Hush (Albert Collins), Outskirts of Town (Willian Weldon, Roy Jacobs and Ray Charles), Crosscut Saw (RG Ford), Mornin' Noon and Night (C Calhoun), You Don't Love Me (Samuel Maghett), Treat Her Right (Roy Head), T-Bone Shuffle (T-Bone Walker), My Bucket's Got a Hole in it (Clarence Williams) and, with any luck, some original Kingpins songs written by Jack Lavin. This is guaranteed to be a great evening of music and dancing. Tickets are $15 in advance, phone for availability. Venue Info: 604-876-6138 or www.cottage-bistro.com |

Framed Thomas Kinkade Prints
Rock of SalvationI was struck, recently, by the gospel music phrase 'the rock of salvation' and suddenly felt myself challenged to present the phrase in one of my prints. Rock of Salvation will be the last creation in my Seaside Memories series. Though watching the sun set over this seven-year series of works is nostalgic and slightly bittersweet, I look forward to the sun rise of a new coastal series in the near future. - Thomas Kinkade
PerseveranceIn Perseverance; thunder crashes, sails billow, waves toss the fragile boat. We see that the clouds are about to break. The sea will calm; the sailor's perseverance will soon be rewarded by a return to God's safe heaven. Perhaps this painting can assure each of us that if we can simply persevere, God's hand of love will soon disperse each storm. - Thomas Kinkade with certificates of authenticity. Large 24 x 36 size Wood frames, matted, UV protection glass $400 each or $750 for the pair. |
