Runaway

Friday night to the Linden Restaurant on the Queensway for a Valentine's night dinner/dance. We're nearly done with dinner when some guys in cowboy hats burst in and announce the arrival of Willie Nelson - suddenly "Willie" is here posing for photos and shaking hands.
A little checking on the web when we get home and "Willie" turns out to be E.J. Cooper from Oshawa, a tribute act. Reminds me of the "The Runaway" on the railway station back home in Lewes, East Sussex. Vic, the owner, insists that Willie Nelson was in the café one day but we have never got to the bottom of it and I don't suppose we ever will.
