Gonna get a red guitar. . . or shorten that finger Thanks for celebrating with us, folks. No word yet on how much we hauled in for the Humane Society Building Fund, but I'm sure there will be a few wagging tails. Cheers! Meow! Wooff!

Edwin and the Bedouins play out of Montreal. Someone still local is a better bet.

Just had to slip this in:

Introducing Extinct, the debut CD from the Real Gone Daddies. The 'Daddies have been playing original music in Ottawa-area clubs and festivals for a number of years, and the completion of this first studio album marks a milestone for the band.

Mavericks (221 Rideau Street) is hosting the cd release party on Friday December 8, 2006. The Hungry Freaks will begin, with a zany tribute to the music of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. There will also be a screening of "Das Rad", an Academy Award-nominated short animation feature. Real Gone Daddies will follow, with two sets of originally conceived music. Go to www.realgonedaddies.com for more; come to Mavericks for the real deal...

Go to a store with a good selection of sticks and spend some time trying a variety of sizes on a practice pad. Look for comfort in weight, length and diameter. Tip shape can be important, too. Let the staff make suggestions, but reserve the decision for yourself.

Don't be led by brand names or advertising.

Buy a few different sizes, and brands. Your taste in sticks will likely change over time, so enjoy the hunt.

Thanks, Doc!

I'll be loading or linking some live recordings to our website this week, so check those out. BradM has captured a number of 'Daddies shows, with the BradM Mobile Unit, so we'll post something juicy.

OK, not really, but our debut CD, [color:brown]extinct , is packaged and available. So far, distribution is limited to Compact Music stores in Ottawa, Long and McQuade Music (Ottawa store only) or from the the band's website .

We're hosting an official release party at Mavericks in Ottawa, on Friday December 8th, and you're invited!!!.

The HUNGRY FREAKS, who play a tribute to F.ZAPPA and the MOTHERS of INVENTION, will open the night. A very cool animated short film, DAS RAD (The Rock) will be shown. RGD will play two, full sets of their own brand of funked-up fusion rock.

Check the RGD website for details.

Big, happy smile,

Terry

Hey Todd, let me add my belated best wishes to this extensive list. Not sure if it was Mike's Place, the Downstairs Club.. Rocco's Rockin' Roadhouse? Ha, ha, that was an early Roads,Forks and Choices show.

Keep on rockin', my man!!!

Terry

Heben Sie Ihren Becher zur Ernte an! Was sind Sie... gebildet vom Stein?

Yeah, last minute notice again.

Mick, Keith, Ron and Charlie have all been invited... who knows?

Real Gone Daddies are looking for a band (or other form of entertainment, I suppose...) to open a show at The Bayou in Ottawa. The date is Saturday August 27th. Any offers will be considered. Tips, leads and suggestions are also welcome. Check out the RGD site for samples of our tunes.

Please respond here or mail to: tcalder@long-mcquade.com

Yes, that's the idea. There are four other acts, aside from TMNS, and a full night is planned. Here are some links for the other band's:

No Buds For Bob

Wooly

Wild Bill Voisey, with the help of several guest performers, will offer up some acoustic renditions of Grateful Dead tunes.

Mandrake Root are a 3-piece heavy rock unit, built from the fire and ashes of the former Chickenhead.

mmmm, coffee.... uh, yeah! I can see that. Thanks, Brad! I did manage to unmangle the TMNS website link...

Cheers,

T

Sorry. Let me wake up and get a coffee; then I'll try to fix the photo link...

The band that's been keepin' his music alive since he stopped is inviting you to spend an evening in memory of Jerry Garcia. Saturday August 6 at the Carleton Tavern.

A great night of music is assured; come on down!

T, for The Music Never Stopped

ps. Ride high, Velvet!

The Music Never Stopped play the music of the Grateful Dead

Wow, am I glad to hear of someone else who doesn't think of patio lanterns in connection with Kim Mitchell! I saw Max Webster a bunch of times in the '70's, and they were always a great Party. Wild guitar tone, crazy keys, cool drum fills, deep bass, twisted lyrics; one of Ontario's best, I'd say. Honest, folks; that's not just Lip Service...

still in search of magnetic air,

A luthier by trade, I work on stringed-instruments of all colours, with guitars found most frequently on my bench. Although I love to repair and adjust Gibsons, I sure seem to "mend" a lot of "Fenders"!

"a horde of ticketless fans tore down a fence at another concert, turning it into a free event "

Are they talking about the June'95 Highgate show? That fence was an afterthought; the stage area was already packed with paying customers by the time that happened.

Hey, if anybody has any steam left after Canada Day in Ottawa, come out to Bourbon Street on Saturday the 2nd. TMNS are playing two full sets of Grateful Dead, as a precurser to the August 6th Blowout at the Carlton Tavern (this, to mark the 10th anniversary since Jerry's departure).

Bon voyage, RN. Give 'em hell out west!

Cheers, buddy!

It's true; not all employees of music stores are nice people, all of the time! I just want to say that the same is true of music store customers.

Still mending Fenders (anything with strings, actually...) at L&M - Ottawa,

TC

Right on, 'Beats.

BradM, are you up to anything? Bourbon Street is a good sounding room, and your recording skills would be appreciated.

Here's part of the night's song map:

(set2:) Scarlet/Fire/Estimated/Eyes/drums/space/Miracle/He's Gone/Throwin'/Not Fade

It'll be 10years in August, folks; since we lost Jerry, and since this group of dudes played 'Dead songs for a packed Chateau Lafayette-crowd of fellow mourners. Not necessarily a happy anniversary, this one, but a notable one.

You see, the music never stopped...

I thought that was you, Booche. Your Seagull is hangin' in there pretty good. The neck/body bolts needed snugging, and the first few frets were kinda groovy, but that's just wear and tear. The fret dress and setup will carry you through for another while, so enjoy! Thanks for putting in the poster, btw.

Tickler: Stringed-instruments are my business, guitars and basses making up the largest share of my work. Drop by Long and McQuade-Ottawa with your Ripper for a free estimate. I'm in the shop Mon-Fri, 10-6, but you can also leave it with the guys on Thurs or Fri night, or Saturday.

'Just wanted to let folks who'll be around Ottawa this weekend know that TMNS are playing a show at Bourbon Street Dance Hall.

Door is $6, music starts at 10pm. (We all like money, but it's the music we love...)

It's a cool club; join us!

ps. visit the TMNS webite (address below) to see the latest poster. The nightclub is at Bourbon Street Music Hall

Hey, thanks for the thread, Hux; and everybody for their opinions. TMNS be doin' the tune in our next show (Jan 22, at Bourbon Street), and some fresh angles to approach the percussives from will be sweet!

I think it's more like

"Kick-start My Bank Account"...

I liked "Ladykillers", mostly for the soundtrack. "Wookie dander" must relate to Chewbacca, the walking carpet of Star Wars fame. Google it...
