Watch my mache'!


There were paper mache' monsters in the windows at Burrvilla. Dragons.




MY HOUSE ON CRESCENT ISLAND HAD A NAME, " BURRVILLA".

What a cool name Laurel Canyon Canada would have had.

This is a picture of the Burr House on Crescent Island before I had it in the mid 1970`s.

When I had it it was still on Crescent Island with a nice 7 acre woodland grown up in front of it.

It was not nearly as nice as Laurel Canyon but the South FRASER  RIVER was out front and you could be back in downtown Vancouver in twenty minutes or walk on the dikes and the sandbars all the way to Steveston but on a different tree covered sandbar with an old fish shack road on it.


I WAS THERE A LOT, RECOVERING FROM BEING VIRTUALLY PARALYZED. MUSICIANS WOULD DROP BY.  SUNDAYS I WOULD ARRANGE TO HAVE ENOUGH MUSICIANS TO COME OUT WHEN I WAS ABLE TO HOST THE SPACE JAM. MY HOUSE WAS GIVEN TO ANTIQUE DEALER AND FAKER LANG FOR ONE DOLLAR ENDING MYSELF AND ALL OF MY MUSICAL CONNECTIVITY IN LATE 1978.
