Harold Butler opened a kitchen drawer one night and found the instrument that would one day land him on national television.
Harold Butler plays the spoons in his Bugden's cab in St. John's, Newfoundland, on Thursday, March 21, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Paul DalyHarold Butler scrolled through a long playlist glowing on his iPhone screen in his spacious taxi, which was parked on a downtown street in St. John's, N.L., on a recent rainy night."Now this one has me blown away," Butler said, jabbing his finger one more time into his phone.
He plays ferociously no matter the song, shaking his shoulders, banging his heel and — when the vehicle comes to a stop — using his left hand as a kind of washboard, running the spoons over its fingers. The spoons crash powerfully into his thigh, the resonant slap its own percussive force which acts as a kind of bass drum to the metal utensils' clinking snare.
Wanting to join in one night, Butler opened a kitchen drawer and found the instrument that would one day land him on national television. Butler says his episode of Canada's Got Talent, filmed in October, will air on April 9, which is his 39th wedding anniversary with his wife, Debbie. Other than that, Butler said he is sworn to secrecy about his experience on the show.Rescuers are searching for at least 7 people in the water after Baltimore bridge collapse, official says
