Folks,
Paula and I are beat after a long night showing The Shot and driving home.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Hi all,
Paula and I are taking a mid-week day off.
See you tomorrow with Frances Widdowson.
Stay warm, God bless.
Paula & Jay on the @TheLavigneShow are two of my favorite people. I am a supporter because I believe in their honesty, integrity & most of all their dedication to truth & the Alberta Independence Movement. I wrote a song about our quest for freedom, it is called My Alberta Home. You can find a demo of the song on my X page Michael Kosterman @MichaelKosterm2
We are headed into the studio later this spring to record a Radio Version of this song. Thank you Paula & Jay for all that you do. I will be coming to see you soon at one of your events! All my best & God Save Alberta!
