  1. By all means BR. Carrie and Ricky keep telling me about you and how we should be jammin since we're so close.

    Greenhorns is on the main drag in Sauble, south of the lights (away from the beach) right beside Jaffa's coffee house. pm me and I'll give you some more details and contact info.

    cheers

    btw...what a fucking beautiful day in Bruce county huh?

  2. Penetang isn't Bruce County!!!

    Is everything north of Kitchener Bruce County to you? ;)

    There is a guy potentially opening a new venue in Sauble..across from The Patch.More a restaurant but was /is considering turning the top floor into a patio bar.

    I've heard abit about this as well. Lobbies (the beachfront patio/bar) has changed ownership and will be booking some acts this summer as well. I can liase for anyone who wants to get a show together from this end. I'm at the beach at least twice a week for work or otherwise. Send me a pm and I'll get it moving.

    If anyone wants to get some jam time in on thurs nights I've got an open jam going at Greenhorns. We're getting more traffic though the beach lately and we had a real sweet jam this week with a bunch of local players.

    Right now its just an acoustic thing but we have plans to expand it to a three pc core set of gear to fill things out.

    If I want phone service' date=' high speed Internet or television from Bruce Telecom, do I need to have fibre buried to my home? Yes. [/quote']

    Not necessarily,

    BMTS Digital TV FAQ

    Who will be able to get Digital TV?

    The majority of customers in our telco area of Tiverton, Kincardine, Port Elgin, Paisley and Southampton who qualify for Cheetah DSL service. There may be some restrictions in regards to distance and/or line quality.

    Looks like they will give you all the 'services' on existing phone lines. But when the cable is being buried on your street you will be forced to switch over or lose connection.

    I'm going to investigate this for sure over the next while. Thanks Irie Guy

    Why is Bruce Telecom installing FTTH in Southampton? The installation of fibre optic cable in Southampton will allow Bruce Telecom to provide multiple services to your home with the latest digital technology and improve the Quality of Service to you.

    If I want phone service, high speed Internet or television from Bruce Telecom, do I need to have fibre buried to my home? Yes.

    I wonder what they're charging for the line installation. Might be worth a call...

  5. I'm real curious about the TV option but I think the lines in my old house may not be up to snuff.

    Same here. Thing is I do save a few bucks with having all the services 'bundled' But then so are the pains.

  6. I'm locked in now too, like an addiction, with a lot of services through them. The only advantage I have is reliability over some of the other telecom services up in this area. We tried the 'other' guys but with wireless, multiple phone lines and satellite and all that related hardware shit I suppose I'll just have to sleep and bear it.

  7. So I was on hold today for about 15 minutes with Bell when I started to get distracted. They were filling the time with this erie sort of Jammy loop music that was somehow hypnotizing me.

    I pryed the receiver from the dent which was developing in the side of my head and layed it down on the desk, wondering how long it might be before I'd get to speak to a real person.

    Then I started browsing Jambands here for a bit, occaisionally checking the line for life.

    I ended up at in a place which was remote and vaguely familiar. It was the Harry Manx and Kevin Breit video....now I was truly slipping.

    Still no signs of a living being on the other end of the line.

    Almost 25 minutes into my holding pattern now.

    I left the receiver in front of the desktop speakers and went to get some food. Death Have Mercy, indeedy.

    When I returned 10 minutes later there was life. But not much help.

    Why alla time huh?

  8. as long as its right after Cops and for a full hour I don't see why the fuck not ;) Its a token event at best but definitely going to raise awareness.

    Who's gonna bust the balloon and post between 8 and 9 tonight?

    Personally we're getting ready to shut down the house....of course we'll probably be burning energy somewhere else!

  9. This is not an easy one. Most of the shit I listen to has some connection to friends and this is no exception. I just managed to scrape a few tracks off on old friends Korg PX something or other. Its called 'Winlaw' Not sure why. then there's this other tune claled Elan Song. Very soothing. Has the ambient sound of a breeze in back but then it could be the crashing surf of a beach in thailand. Pretty significant to him i would suppose. Ant the lat track is just alooose jam from New Years eve maybe two three years ago at his folks house. Good times indeed. Bottle rockets and walkabouts if I recall even some of it correctly.

    Anyoneknow where to get addtional memory cards for a Korg PXR4 (Pandora's Box) I'm hoping this unot is not obsolete already, cause I just figured out how to use it!

  10. They do it up right for sure BR. I swear the 'unplugged' team stole the whole format for its sheer depth of appeal. It always seems to bring you right through the screen and onto the stage. Neil's appearances have always floored me and he must have been thinking of those shows when he produced Harvest Gold. Have I got that right? Y'know the latest live film where he's playing Hank's old Martin? Brings me to tears with its integrity.
