  1. Hey Ottawa! Musicians wanted ...

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    OK just wanted to bring this post back up to the top 'o' the heap..

    I know there is someone out there who can fiddle some sweet ol' bluegrass moosik.

    And my bassist just moved away ( and i cry..)

    So if there is anyone out there in jamcyberpace that lives near enough to downtown Ottawa and wants to come on out and experiment around with some bluegrass-fusion jamming, I am still trying to get some folks together to eventually play some gigs around town. I don't expect a 100% commitment right away... but if you wanna come out just to check it out thats cool too.

    As well this is not a strictly BluGrass band but that is just one of the many musical feels I hope to capture for this project. I want to comebine BG with funky 70s beats, jazz riffs, latino salsa ... the works!

    As I said I've written a bunch of stuff but I welcome any ideas crazy creative... I play keyboards and cello... and possibly banjo unless I can find some wonderful person to come out and do that...

    Influences (other than the obvious GD, Ph etc...):

    String Cheese

    Bella Fleck

    Gillian Welch

    Abigail Washburn

    Xavier Rudd

    Sun Ra

    Hello all,

    Been a while since I've logged in!

    Anyways I am trying to put a bluegrass(ish) fusion-jamband together and am in desperate need of a violinist and a drummer.

    I have a bunch of material that I've written but any crazy creative stuff is welcome.

    Also I am not limiting it to "standard" bluegrass instruments so if you play something wierd and well, I'd love to toss it into the mix... hence the term "fusion-jam"

    The practice time sacrifice will be about 2 days/ week 1 weekend day and one evening...

    Anyone interested please PM me or email me at lfedewicz@msn.com

    Cheers!!!

  11. Looking for Appartment in Ottawa/Hull/Gatineau

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    Well I thought of Hull/Gat. cause I heard it's cheaper. I work on Sussex just across the bridge. I am looking for anything from bachelor - 2 bedroom. Im willing to pay up to $700(which in Ottawa would get me a bach but in Hull/Gat. a 2 bedroom where I could set one up as a jam room.)

    So that is why I am favouring H/G at the present. Also i have a doggie.

    Bouche you said you know places where you don't need 1st/last in Hull? That would be sweet since I am a contract employee and i prefer paying month to month!

    As for the perverts, I've lived in Parkdale in Toronto... there were at least 3 hookers on my block all the time and a seedy strip club on my street... SO i ain't afraid of no pervs! haha

  12. FUN WORDS--

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    Someone tried to tell me that:

    "IRREGARDLESS" was a word the other day.

    I told him that there was no such word and that it should be "REGARDLESS".

    He insisted it was a word, so I told him if that was so to show it to me in a dictionary. Sure enough it was there!!!!

    IRREGARDLESS:

    1. an erroneous redundancy for regardless.

    2. a mistaken fusion of irrespective and regardless.

    So it IS a word because it's in the dictionary but it's not a word becasue the dictionary defines it as such.

    Wait, isn't that the definition of IRONIC?

    "All Gone"

    Jim Guthrie

    Album "Now More Than Ever"

    a ringing phone

    you can never go

    back home

    the same goes for you

    a drone to call your own

    while laying around

    thinking of st. henry

    that’s where i’d take her

    cause one things for sure

    a forest needs a fire

    like the fire needs the tree

    it’s so dear

    and personal to me

    can you make something

    out of nothing

    and if i ever get back home

    grey autumn blues

    whenever the first leaf falls

    it falls for you

    a sound unknown

    can see was isn’t shown

    so pluck out your eyes blue

    so sight can’t betray you

    what offends your ear

    to what do you hold dear

    whats held has grown

    here’s your home

    cause a theif needs a

    diamond like a diamond

    needs a theif

    it’s so near

    and personal to me

    Hope its the one you were looking for!

  20. '80s Trivia Questions - Help Please

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    I can't believe SO many of you say the 80's sucked!! How can a decade when it was common place to see a guy walking down the street with a boombox on his shoulder, sporting neon green pants and a black and white checkered shirt "suck"?

    Infact, the term "sucks" originated in the 80s along with such gems as: "gnarly", "radical", "tubular", "grodie" and "goober".

    I was born in 1980. Being a child of the 80s was "totally wicked". It meant waking up to a big bowl of Fruitty Pebbles and an episode of Transformers, toting my Cabbage Patch lunch box and thermos to school, learning how to "Just Say No!", and playing Marble Madness on Nintendo.

    Back in the 80s before we became obsessed with "Reality T.V." and over-sexualized programming, T.V. was a family event! I have fond memories of watching an episode of "The Cosby Show", or "Who's the Boss?" over family dinners, or winding down in the evening with an episode of "Perfect Strangers" and a great big bowl of microwaved popcorn. Yes, I'll admit that these shows were "cheesy" and "sappy", but I'd take them over "Fear Factor" or "The Surreal Life" any day!

    It was an awesome time to grow up! Kids could remain kids for a little longer than they can now. The 80s did not "SUCK"! Infact they were pretty "gnarly".

    Besides, how can anyone say an entire decade sucked?? Especially one that gave us: Popples, Voltron, Nintendo, Pogo-Balls, Glow-Worms, "The Breakfast Club", Light Brite, "E.T.", Fruity-Marshmallow Krispies, the Thundercats, Watchimals, Michael Jackson's "Thriller", Teddy Ruxpin, Fat Albert, Jem and the Hollograms, My Little Pony, "Back to the Future", He-Man and She-Ra, Count Chocula and Frankenberry, Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, Hot Wheels, Fraggle Rock, Sharon Lois and Bram, Etch-A-Sketch, Skip-It, snap bracelets, Cheesestrings, Garbage Pail Kids, video arcades, CHIA PETS!!!....
