So, just putting this out there because I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

Friend called yesterday to make plans for tonight, suggested we could have a mellow night in, or go to one of our favourite bars and see Fred Penner... the children's singer. I couldn't even form words for a while trying to understand what he said.

Turns out, yes, it's THE Fred Penner that many a Canadian kid grew up with. He's performing his kids songs in bars, that card as you enter, for our generation (born in '84).

Guess I'm asking, if you had the option to relive your childhood alongside good priced beer for $5, would ya do it? Or who would you do it for?

For those who aren't sure who this man is:

Amazing, this is the second time I've come across Fred Penner [http://www.chartattack.com/riffs/aaron-brophy/2011/mar/14/fred-penner-was-better-than-any-indie-rock-band-who-played-cmw-2011] this month. This is awesome--I love the Low German verse near the end.

OP, I would pay $5 to see Fred Penner in a heartbeat. Back in university, Mr. Dressup [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Dressup] was touring Canadian college campuses after he retired a few years before he passed away, and there was no hesitation whatsoever--I went to see him.
