The B.A. experience

Hamilton's B.A. Johnston is an entertaining fellow. Last time I saw him was at the Avant-Garde in 2005, but not much has changed in the life of Johnston: It's still tall tales of the unsuccessful and fry-cooking.

B.A. makes his triumphant, sparkler-twirling entry!

His guitar has seen better days ... though it was about as beaten up when I saw him perform way back when.

Things ended up in the women's bathroom, as they often do.

He's playing a free show at the Manx on Sunday and will be touring the heck out of his soon-to-be released Hi Dudes!! all over the place starting in March on the West Coast ... I imagine he'll be getting around to Ottawa again some time in April.
