Alto on tap in Montreal!

[xax]

hey all!
i was in montreal for a short vakay last w/e; went to Biddle's (just reopened); saw Johnny Scott and the band. that was pretty cool but the real knockout was one of the taps. it was made from an alto...working keys, pads and all! any of you cats ever seen anything like that?
btw. When you go to montreal, bring your bicycle...it is the absolute most cool city for biking!

Tap?? You mean tap as a faucet or what? I haven't been to Biddle's since the renovations of the place are over... Now I gotta go see that!

Yes, Montréal is very cool for biking, and rollerblading too. But you don't need to bring your bike. For instance, you can go to Old-Montréal on "de la Commune" street, almost at the corner of "Place Jacques-Cartier", next to the ice cream store, there is a place where you can rent bicycles for little $$ and... Here's a montrealer's secret trick: While in Old-Montreal (after renting a bike), head to the Old Port and on to the "Jacques-Cartier" Pier. Go to the end of the pier and take the shuttle boat (yes you can take your bike on board) cross the river and head to "Sainte-Hélène" island. From there you can access the site of "Les Floralies" (an exterior garden... awesome!), Man and his world (the site of of Expo67), "La Ronde" (an amusment park now owned by 6 flags), the Casino, and much mure discoveries... And don't forget to bring a pik-nick! :wink:
