Un Canadien Errant

The Journal Pioneer in Summerside posted my Un Canadien Errant video

By Stephen Pate – A lot of cool things happen. Right now I’m in a creative place. Seeing my work in print is a thrill. To see a video in the Journal Pioneer is a new step.

I’m writing up three blogs a day, stories, and songs every day. I work on Blog layouts which can be fun and creative.

Social activism is like marketing – condense the message into a sound bite and interest people in the story. Headlines are cool – The phony carnival war was my best read story for months. The followup Bill Lynch freak show not for disabled was fun to research since I remembered much of the story.

A couple of weeks ago I had to prep three songs for Fete Nationale Acadian. A friend videotaped it and one song >Un Canadien Errant came out well with backing musicians and audience sing-along.

What a thrill to see the Summerside Journal Pioneer put the video on their home page under Your videos.

There are three video scripts on my computer right now. We want to shoot them outdoors so the weather is an issue but we’ll get them done. It’s an exciting time.

Thanks to Remi Arsenault for the guitar backing, along with the other musicians in the credits.
