   So does Garth Brooks ever tour Canada?   
      
   He should come play Mile One Stadium, capacity 8300, here in the   
   easternmost city in North America, St. John's, Newfoundland.   
   George Thorogood just played a subset of the stadium, maybe   
   3000, that was close to 90% full but I think Garth could sell out   
   the whole stadium first time and then come back a second   
   time for a 20,000 person outdoor concert.   
      
   There is a big country following here on the island and more   
   should tour here (non-country acts such as Shaggy, Snoop Dogg and   
   Ludacris have come up from the US though).   Within two   
   hours driving distance of the stadium is only a population of   
   about 250,000 but 38,000 showed up for a cheap outdoor   
   Sum 41 concert in October.    There are more country fans   
   outside the city but a fair number in the city too.   
      
   For those on nf.general , would you go to a Garth Brooks   
   concert and what other country artists would you like to   
   have come tour here?   
      
   Some Newfoundland and Labrador country people are Ron Hynes,   
   Wayne Hynes, Jimmy Whiffen, Ray Lake, Blair Harvey (he   
   does folk blues too), Lady Luck and the Smoking Guns,   
   Saddle Sores, Lorraine Conway,  Crooked Stovepipe (bluegrass),   
   Kentucky Tundra (bluegrass), Terry Penney, Harry Martin,   
   Shirley Montague,  Eight Track Favourites,  Kim Stockwood (country   
   influenced pop), Rasa (country influenced pop/folk, with   
   Sandy Morris on guitar and Erin Best on vocals), Erin Best   
   (has played Patsy Cline), Natalie Noseworthy (has played   
   Patsy Cline) and Natalie Nivera (acid-tinged alt-country/folk),   
   Sheri Ryan (country/folk), Amelia Curran (country influenced   
   moody original folk/pop), John Philipps, more.  But there are   
   more celtic  bands/artists here than country.   (St. John's has   
   maybe the best live music scene for a city its size anywhere   
   in North America, so tour to the well, and recharge.)   
      
   For those on nf.general , did I miss anyone, especially   
   off the Avalon?   
      
   I like the song Iowa that Garth Brooks does and relate it   
   to my little-researched-so-far stuff about the Iowa Dakota   
   Salmon youth on my web page.   Does Garth Brooks   
   have any native ancestry?   
      
      
      
   A while ago when I thought I had matchmaking divination   
   ability I divined that Garth Brooks is supposed 4th orientation   
   male (compatible up close only with bisexual by nature female[s]   
   and not with lesbians saying they are bi but perhaps with   
   bi by narure woman [who would know of regular sexual   
   attraction to both genders] who is straight by lifestyle choice).   
   But the point of that is that sure he is compatible with any   
   bi by nature woman such as Monica Bellucci or Beyonce   
   Knowles or Ashanti or Sharon Stone or Jodie Foster or Stevie   
   Nicks or Geena Davis or Bernadette Peters or Halle Berry or Patricia   
   Conroy (as am I)  but when I did a matchmaking trying to   
   factor in other things as well it came out his best match is   
   the above-mentioned Natalie Nivera (who does original   
   acid-tinged altcountry/folk).   Supposedly she is his   
   Everley sister (voices would blend well and from hearing   
   Garth last night on CMT I believe that) and maybe they have   
   an unfinished past life connection or something.   OK, I won't   
   believe that without proof but they could test it by singing   
   together, and by touch (the touch should be comfy and   
   sometimes warming and electric for strong compatibility).   
      
   However I haven't seen Natalie Nivera in St. John's in over   
   two years so maybe she moved to Toronto or elsewhere.
