Willy Blizzard is in the middle of another road trip, privileged to play our music in the most amazing places.  At the moment, we’re stopped in the beautiful BC mountain community of Revelstoke (http://www.cityofrevelstoke.com).  We’re wondering why we feel so great in this town.

It’s something beyond the obvious natural beauty of the surroundings, and the history of the town site itself.  We think it might have something to do with the 100 year old houses with very funky tin roofs.  Or the number of fixie bikes we see around town, making our velo-mouths water.  Enjoying the hot tub in the city swimming pool pondering the view of Mt. Begbie, we figured out what makes this town work.

It’s good governance.  It’s preserving the green belt, the wetland, the public access to the river front.  It’s their amazing summer concert series in Grizzly Plaza, providing a focus for the summer tourist traffic.  We have played live music in this series for the past few years, and every time we come back, we feel more alive.

Kudos to the citizenry of this wonderful town.
