Take the trans-Canada highway up towards Calgary and turn off at Stoney Trail. Motor on awhile - there's not much traffic - through the pretty foothills until you come across the Mecca Cafe. Not only the site of a mean burger, the appropriately named Mecca is also the site of magic - the music magic that is a voice of the past still crooning strong! Here is the audio document of Billy Cowsill's (who remembers the legendary Cowsills??) return to public performance. Features help from some of Alberta's finest high plains drifters including Steve Pineo on guitar!
