Lucky Strikes - John Wort Hannam
Lucky Strikes - John Wort Hannam at the Mountainview Music Fest. From the Canadian Folk Music Award winning album Queen's Hotel. Scott Duncan on fiddle.
The poignant but catchy “Lucky Strikes” was written after a visit to Fort Macleod’s infamous Queen’s Hotel. For five years John Wort Hannam taught grade 9 language arts on the largest reserve in Canada – The Kainai Nation, part of the Blackfoot Confederacy. But in 1997 he heard a Loudon Wainwright III record and was hooked by the music and the stories. In 1998 he bought a guitar and learnt some chords. In 2002 he quit teaching and began to pursue the dream of being a working musician.
