My favorite thing about organised religion is that you can often buy second hand stuff from them.

With a knack for biting commentary and eyebrow raising lyrics, Neil Conway is a fixture of the Newfoundland arts community. He is an events organizer, activist, and self proclaimed radical roots crooner. After growing up between rural Nova Scotia, Toronto and Montreal, Neil Conway hitch hiked to St. John's in 1998 and still can't get enough of the place. Since then he has had his fingers in many musical pies including his own solo project, The Somethin' Family, a hip-hop/funk/reggae group known as The Discounts, a reggae band called Skank as well as improvising with various groups. He has performed as a dancer/musician with Sara Stoker's Collective Gutsink and Lori Clark's Loose Confederacy. He has been a regular performer at Sound Symposium, Peace-a-Chord Arts and Social Justice Festival, as well as frequent trips to St. Pierre et Miquelon. His company, Funnerbunny Pro, is responsible for the annual Homegrown Dope Jam, The World Songwrestling Federation, the Heckle Me Awards Show, terminus1525.ca's Seagull Sideshow and regular events in various St. John's venues. He lives to dance and laugh and would like to see more people doing it.

Story behind the song
I am greatful to the Salvation Army for clothing me with stylish and affordable duds. Praise the Lord brothers and sisters!
Lyrics
Thrift Store Boogie (Bon Tempi Tune) I found my favorite organ with plastic keys and hummin' little fan an old record player and the best they had for vinyl wasn't bad They had Christmas albums, workout records and every golden oldie compilation and stompin’ tunes like Boxcar Willy well I bought every one that tiny thrift store had I paid a dollar for these pants at the Salvation Army Praise the lord there ain't no tax on a deal this devine Praise the lord Jesus would have dug my style and how I shopped around in loving harmony the cashier played the gospel on my little plastic organ so I bought it for six dollars praise the lord I left that store with more than I'd ever strapped onto my bike before Peddled home safe and sound and just as I was walkin' through the door They were jammin' in the kitchen on a bluegrass reggae klezmer rumba reel I plugged in my new organ and told everyone about them thrift store deals
