Gig by Gig on the Erie Canal

[Larry Meyer]

Folk musician Chris Bell tours and performs traveling by canoe on the Erie Canal. He gave up touring by car when gas got too expensive. He’s going from Buffalo to Manhattan, playing at clubs along the way.

Now that’s the way to spend a summer.

That's interesting. He went right by my house. And has it ever been raining! Let's hope the boat show get's a weather break this weekend.

I wonder if he sings this one?

I've got a mule,
Her name is Sal,
Fifteen years on the Erie Canal.
She's a good old worker
And a good old pal,
Fifteen years on the Erie Canal.
