Where in the world am I today?: North Vancouver, BC, Canada

Prologue: Kingston Busker’s Rendezvous 2008 I’m back for my 10th time in 20 years of the Festival’s Existence… From out of nowhere pops this no nonsense, take control of the situation firecracker of a performer full of enthusiasm, vim, vigor and life… We didn’t talk much that weekend, but Miss Becky Priebe certainly left an impression… It wasn’t until we had a bit more time to hang out at the Nanjing Clown Carnival that we spoke much and became better friends. With out a doubt it was her ‘anything is possible, lets make it happen’ approach to performing that won me over and continues to endear her to my heart. She’s a keeper!
