WINNIPEG, MB
Mr. Corny Plett, 61, normally a pretty wound-up individual, ventured into the city this week to attend a concert by Steve Bell and discovered a whole new world of emotions he’d never even contemplated before.
“What am supposed to be feeling with all that finger picking and that soft smooth voice of his?” said Plett. “I feel … I feel … all warm and fuzzy inside. It’s sea framd for sure.”
Plett’s wife Diane explained to her husband that the feeling was completely normal and was known as contentment or even relaxation, but Corny would have none of it.
“Ach, relaxation? It doesn’t give such,” said Plett, though soon he could no longer deny feeling at least a little less tense than he did coming into the building. “Well, I guess I might as well pick up one of his cassette tapes for my F-150.”
Leaving the concert a huge Steve Bell fan, Plett now vows to bring this feeling of relaxation into the rest of his life.
“No more yelling at the cows or kicking over a pail for me,” said Plett. “From now on if I’m ever feeling that way, I’ll throw on ‘Here by the Water’ and all my milking problems will disappear.”
Plett is also thinking of learning the guitar, though his daughters have already suggested he might need more than a few decades to get as good as Steve Bell.
