A Winnipegger went to this week’s Bruce Springsteen concert with a “hungry heart” and left with The Boss’s harmonica.
Now Dave Pineau will be “dancing in the dark” in his basement where his new prized possession will soon grace a shadow box filled with other mementos from Wednesday’s concert.
“I’ve had two sleeps, but I’m still pretty charged up,” said Pineau on Friday.
“The show was fantastic; he never disappoints. I’ve seen him 13 times now. But to get the harmonica? That’s not just a music memory, but a family memory.”
To score the harmonica, Pineau, his wife Diane, and three of his four children, Taylor, Dani, and Riley, went to the arena armed with a sign emblazoned with large capital letters that read “Manitoba whisky for harmonica?”
