Happy anniversary Times Changed High and Lonesome in #Winnipeg. Not solely a honky tonk, it is a safe and inviting space - John Scoles, proprietor, has built community. "You are all good people" is his motto. Thanks John and staff! Long live Times Changed.

It's going to be a quiet New Year's Eve tonight, but The Windups were an absolute blast last night (new years eve eve) at Times Changed. Charismatic, crack musicians fully committed to the power pop esthetic.

I was curious about whether there as a specific "praise and worship" guitar pedal. There isn't, but there's a go to base (according to Google gemini).

Happy festivus Kendra! I feel bad that my "RIPPED from the Warman Police 🚨Blotter" posts haven't been updated (the source material has really dried up). Here's an oldie but a goodie for you though.

Manitobans are the most generous charitable givers in Canada. More Manitobans donate than anywhere else, and Manitobans give a higher proportion of earnings than anyone else.
Still, the % of donors is dropping a lot (18.7% in MB, down from 25% in 2013).
