The Adventures of Trebleclef, the Hamilton Blues Lovers Monkey

Trebleclef went to Big B Comics in Hamilton for Free Comic Book Day.  He got quite a haul (with a little help from mom and dad)

-----------

He also checked out the wonderful Kent MacMillan Band at Bronte Sports Kitchen in Oakville.  The little guy had a wonderful time.
