It seems only fitting that for a venue as storied and successful as the Horseshoe Tavern, celebrates its 65th anniversary with rock n' roll from the equally fantastic Joel Plaskett.

Last year I reviewed Plaskett 's odds-n-ends collection Emergencys and said you'd like him if you were ever moved by Paul McCartney, Paul Westerberg, or Tom Petty.

I'm just about done reading Linden McIntyre's Cape Breton trilogy ( The Long Stretch , The Bishop's Man , and the recently released Why Men Lie ) so Nova Scotia has been on my mind a fair bit, and memories of my trip to the province a number of years back has rekindled a desire to head back there very soon.

If Three was a love letter to home, Scrappy Happiness is one penned to another love that Plaskett has held close almost as long.

"This is our only chance/for certain happenstance," sings Joel Plaskett at the opening of Scrappy Happiness , acknowledging that the project he and the Emergency are about to undertake (writing and recording the 10 song album in a 10 week/one song a week regime that saw each song debuted on CBC Radio 2 as it was completed) would leave little room for pre-planning and plotting.

The Joel Plaskett Emergency played the top of the CN Tower to kick off the five day music festival that is Canadian Music Week. Seeing one of my favourite Canadian bands in one of the most interesting of Toronto venues was certainly a highlight of the festival.

Not only has he carved out a successfull career for himself here in Halifax (yes, technically Dartmouth, I know this), something the rest of us find challenging at the best of times, but he's done it in the most fickle of industries, an uphill battle of a business that many talented people struggle to get a foothill in no matter which of our country's bigger cities they happen to reside in.

As a young music fan, always eager and hungry to get my hands on the next great single or record from my favourite artists, when I realized that in the early days of rock 'n roll, record releases happened at a much quicker pace.
