Bear's Etcetera Etcetera

I’m still supporting my wife DJ in her singing and songwriting endeavors and producing her music videos. In addition to her songwriting and music videos, DJ and her many friends enjoy performing at open mics in the Calgary and Foothills area. Me, I’m her tag-a-long and sometimes sound guy, hey it keeps me out of trouble.

DJ aka Dianne Joy has released her fifth original song on all major streaming services.

Here's some of the jokes and stories I've received over the years. I still get a chuckle out of them so feel free to pass them on to family and friends. In most cases, I've set them up in both text (PDF) and audio file (mp3) formats.
