Kevin is back after a forced hiatus! He’s got another heartwarming story about being a teacher and the kids you meet. Adrian was a kid who hated music. This made Music class a challenge for him and the teachers. One day, 5-year-old Adrian had a fateful encounter with a Panic at the Disco track that changed his life!

The passing of American Pickers cohost, Frank Fritz brought back many memories for Kevin. Memories of picking around rural Cape Breton as a child with his father and the power of being a collector. American Pickers has always been a show that brought Kevin comfort and a connection to his father. A heartfelt mini-tale.  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/652187626755803 Twitter (X): ⁠https://x.com/MadForMaple⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/jlandkev⁠ Threads: ⁠https://www.threads.net/@jlandkev⁠ Blue Sky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/madformaple.bsky.social YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BusanKevin

More than 30 years ago something really weird happened. Kevin shares his tale of experiencing a "forerunner" in Eastern Canada. A "forerunner" is when something strange happens to signal a person's death or other unlucky occurrence. A strange dream that seemed more than a little spooky!  It's now October so let's share a few spooky stories!
