Hi Skanks.  Miss youse guys.

See you there buddyboy!

An absolute legend. Such an imprint and hands down one of the most melodic and tasteful harmony singers of all time. His biography is one of the most interesting bios I have ever read.
I hope he found his peace.
Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground
Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down

Whaaaaa? That might just be enough to get this board bumpin 😎

Hey folks! 
A few weeks ago I launched Beggars Banquet, a podcast that explores the intersection of food and music. I interview bands and artists to discuss their relationship with food, on and off the road. Warning: this podcast will make you hungry!   Episode #4 came out this morning and it features Andrew Barr. We talk about what it’s like growing up with a mom who worked alongside celebrity chef Julia Child, and how that influenced his tastes and cooking abilities. We also discuss making music in The Barr Brothers and Andrew’s role as a go-to-drummer in the tight-knit musical community in Montreal.   You can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever else you listen to your pods. If you enjoy, please rate & review as it helps with the almighty-algorithms.   I've got lots more great episodes coming up so I hope you'll subscribe :)    

For those of you who have a fondness for the unique brand of gritty, dirty beats, grooves, light, darkness & sketch that was the Comfort Zone & Silver Dollar, there is a cool little piece from Spacing magazine:

So many great shows there....cheers to NewRider & Mulemomma for all the amazing acts they brought through there.  I have often wondered whatever happened to Cosmic Steve.
These are among my MOST memorable nights, in no particular order:
-Regular Fat Cats residencies;
-Burt Neilson Band;
-Fat Burt New Years 2000;
-Jazz is Dead (faaaackin awesome...holy shit, like Jimmy feckin Herring in your living room, that band launched me);
-Derek Truck Bands (he was so wee...and so was I. Also mesmorizing);
Tony Trischka (nuff said);
Gov't Mule (among the sweatiest shows of my life, briefly met Allen Woody & Warren that night in the staircase before the show, poor Allen passed away days later I believe it was. I remember thinking at the time of running into him that he looked a little...tired. But the show was 'bumpin')
Burning Spear (ya mon....positive, uplifting times)
There are many more nights that have likely been lost or obscured in the haze.
It was a matter of time, but sad to see it go

Friends and compatriots!  I have finally at long last started a blog/website thingy where I'll be posting travel logs, videos, reviews, my daily ticket stories, and whatever else I can think of.  
My thanks to Mike and all of you on this website; this is where I started typing, where I started the nerologs and posted my first-ever travel log (from Peru), and generally where my writing bone got flexed.  So again, thanks.

For some reason, maybe talking to Ken (KC) yesterday, during my workday today compelled me to revisit the live music archive and take a trip down memory lane. I stumbled on Fat Cats NYE 31/12/04 (
(Bless, Esau!). Listened to the whole thing, so many memories. Somehow ended up on the original Lose Yer Shoes website (still being hosted by oocities.org), and flipped through hundreds of photos of LYS, Come together... thinking of Bradm... Kevin Rieth. Sad memories but also amazing memories. What a time to have been alive all things considered eh?? Glad this place is still kicking. Thanks for reading!

Turns out that playing guitar in a improv focused trio is actually my favourite thing in the world to do.
By a very strange turn of events, I've started a project with Chas Guay and Matt Aston called Original Sound Track. I was introduced to Chas years ago in PEI by Punk. Chas was his bass guitar mentor coming up. So Chas now lives in Ottawa and we got something started around Sept 2019. This band is really like 90% pure improv at this point. That being said, I feel like we are tearing a hole in the universe weekly and honestly that is pretty much everything I need from music.
Posting hand held jam room recordings weekly here: https://soundcloud.com/user-77130993-304645937/nov-11-jam-3-m
Looking forward to maybe playing for people someday

Hello friends!
We are back with some sound treats and sick beats! First up is our ode to Ottawa's rich football tradition, a look back at our youthful indiscretions and a grim portrait of where we stand today. Enjoy!
Union Of Authority - Ottawa Rriders

Hey all!
I've been streaming every day for the past few weeks...well, almost every day - sundays off. 
I've been doing a live electronic thing... mostly all improvised.  Lots of synths, lots of jamming.  Usually about 45 minutes long.
lots of music here....
