Jay Funk Dawg

that sounds like a good time! see you there.

I'd love to hear some of those... i'm in Toronto...

I've been using the photo editor in Photobucket it's free and you can do text on an image plus do some effects. It's limited but if it's a simple thing you are looking to get done then it's easy and free.

i'll let you know about the recording soon...

Scott Milne is still a part of the band - just now in a managerial role. So the two original members are still a part of the group. The band feels like this is the line up that can bring them to new heights and I'm hopeful for them.

in any case ...they sound better than ever

We've not done 3 rehearsals and we have 2 more coming up... here's the song list so far: Song List Why must I Cry Bush Doctor Not Going to Give it Up Burial Down Presser Man Johnny Be Good Stepping Razor Brand New Second Hand Legalize it Equal Rights Once Bitten Ketchy Shuby Reggae My Lytis Jah Guide In My Song You Can't Blame the Youth Rastafari Is Stop and Don't look Back Soon Come Three Wise Men

who's in the new new Burt Neilson Band? maybe Garth Hudson would join!

p.s. I also recorded the bands that evening.. hopefully get them for listening very soon. jay

Great to see you all on Sunday - that band was smokin' - Gonna bring these guys back hopefully on a weekend next year! big ups!

Tonight y'all!

Growing up in Mali’s capital, Bamako and his father’s hometown of Niafunké in the Sahara -- both teeming with rich musical life -- Vieux developed remarkable talents as a drummer and calabash player. After defying his father's wishes that he not pursue a life of hardship as a musician, Vieux was taken under the wing of the world's premier kora player Toumani Diabate; and the jaw-dropping debut album which soon followed includes some of Ali's final recordings. www.vieuxfarkatoure.com www.myspace.com/vieuxfarkatoure About The Small world Music Festival The Small World Music Festival has become the premier celebration of world music in the world's most diverse global crossing for music and art. Running from September 18-30 at a dozen venues all across Toronto, this year's 7th annual edition is the most ambitious yet, featuring 19 concerts and workshops that cover the most eclectic range of sound in the festival's proud history. Appropriately, GAP Adventures, the world's most cutting-edge adventure travel company based right here in Toronto, is the lead sponsor of the 2008 Small World Music Festival. The Festival is also supported by all three levels of government: the Canada Council for the Arts, Heritage Canada, Ontario Trillium Foundation, and Toronto Arts Council. Other keystone partners and supporters include: QUEX Inc., Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Roy Thomson Hall/Massey Hall, Lula Lounge, CBC Radio, NuFunk.ca, Batuki Music, Worlds of Music Toronto, CIUT 89.5 FM, CHIN Radio, ComPosition Music, Dinamo Design, MGS Marketing, Long & McQuade. The Small World Music Festival will change the way you think about music, and open your ears to a whole new world of sonic possibilities. Enjoy the shows! www.smallworldmusic.com

sounds great! Great song choices!

I think it's all going usb stick

finally check out some live music...!! enjoy Brad!

yay this weekend!

I loved the story about Deifer - hilarious & humble - the banter between songs was as interesting as the songs. That violinist was also incredible - man what a night - me and the girlfriend are still singing and talking about the songs and the show.

Riveting! Amazing! Emotional! Incredible!
