I was enjoying a typical girls’ night out with good drinks and great company. Fargo prides itself on friendliness, so we didn’t twice about entering into conversation on the street at dusk with a handful of out-of-towners. One thing lead to another – Toronto > Kiwanis > music – and we spent the rest of the evening in the company of Three Days Grace.

Our distinguished visitors were in town to perform the following night at the Red River Valley Fair. I couldn’t help but laugh as we swapped secrets, comparing life as musicians and authors, big and small. Canadian healthcare, American politics, Moscow mules – no topic was out of bounds.

Following this most unexpected encounter, I poked around a online and found a Loudwire blog by the drummer himself. “Black Betty” by Ram Jam has been in my head ever since I read that article. Perhaps listening to a few Three Days Grace songs will help conquer this earworm…
