Also sending vibes, hope & a nod to the venues that keep trying to get back up despite what the government keeps throwing at them through inequitably targeting them in comparison to other industries https://globalnews.ca/news/7740287/concert-venues-ontario-covid-rules-prohibit-live-streams/?fbclid=IwAR1QaDJgykQfnPVHT2f_MU3lW2L-D7AwZLGfKMPoJ6BVDsdHFHfG-AAMldM

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-56256885 There's a natural mystic blowing through the air If you listen carefully now you will hear Gratitude for all that was brought and inspired

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: http://spacing.ca/toronto/2018/02/15/peak-inside-last-days-waverly-hotel-comfort-zone/?fbclid=IwAR1_taNIcWKAnD_jn8qyiQxwQcy-0sdHC-gJ07prSa2kM1GzFlQycomweqo 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

I mean this kid is even younger than I am

Hey Adam! Good to hear from you. We sure were a lucky lucky bunch. Will be all the more grateful when we can gather for music again....at any scale!!! Hope you are faring well.

Cool concept!

Good feckin riddance....not sure any of us really knew how dark it was going to get. One way or another.....

Those are some cool rules of engagement Umph has going there

Is this a trick?

This was a nice holiday score. Miss this man!!

Happy belated Velvet! Is nerologs- The Book still around? Link was down. Would love to read. Cheers!

This vid was a nice way to start the morning....an anchor in the chaos lol. I hope he is resting peacefully. Gone too soon....seems he may have dropped while making coffee...I suppose that's not a bad way to go at all. Swifty!!! Good to see you around these parts...stick around!

Live Nation President on Future of Live Events https://www.cnbc.com/video/2020/12/07/live-nation-president-joe-berchtold-says-he-expects-us-shows-will-be-back-by-summer-2021.html Vague at best...but maybe a glimmer

40 years ago that he left this plane (had to think real hard on whether to use plain or plane). My very first tape that belonged to me and me alone was The Beatles' greatest hits double album. Launched my love for music for sure. Nobody told me there'd be days like these, strange days indeed

Hard to put a price on all those words. Feels icky...though would be interesting to hear thoughts on what else he should have or could have done while he has his faculties to choose

You always had your finger on the pulse there Davey Boy!

Was hoping that reading this would make me hopeful but admittedly it just feels icky on multiple levels. Perhaps scalping will be a thing of the past as a result but good lawd....hard to envision having the same opportunity for transcendent life altering experiences amidst such a heavy cloak of surveillance. The process of getting through the door sounds very expensive & exhausting. https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/touring/9481166/ticketmaster-vaccine-check-concerts-plan/
