Betty Chaba (my mom) with Sweet Grass. Date unknown. She’s the one with the longest hair.

Weird, yesterday I was thinking about how my mom was involved in the music scene in Kits in the 70s/80s and thought maybe I should mention that when I play on 4th this saturday..
and then I found out my name’s in a Georgia Straight article that starts off like this:

“Considering the spiritual forefathers of the 50-plus bands that will be hitting the streets of Kitsilano this Saturday (July 13), it’s hard not to love the very idea of the Khatsahlano! Music + Art Festival.”

I really shouldn’t be mentioned in this article as I’m one of the smaller names on the bill, but I seem to be getting unexpectedly blessed all over the place recently…

PS
Among other ways that I’ve been on a search to discover my family roots, I’m on the hunt to find the issue of the Georgia Straight where my mom’s on the cover. Luckily I’ve met someone who wants to help me get into the archives.. More on that later.
