Jay Funk Dawg

can't wait to SNEAK over!

clearly ? or cleary!

wicked booking Kenny!! I did a show with her, Hilario Duran and Randy Brecker early September as a part of the Chet Baker Jazz Festival.. she's a heavy player!

Skratch Bastid isn't just a guy playing records check out his DMC Video here: Don't expect JSB on until 11:30 at the earliest.. they'll be doing one long set. j

Last night was amaizing!! Please come out tomight if you can.. these guys are really on fire on this tour!

I appologize if I offended anyone, my point wasn't that a there was any problem writing about Dave or that the articles weren't well written... it's just that it's unfortunate that when The Jimmy Swift Band undertake a CD Release Tour, they do it as a publicity stunt to get press on their new CD, and that it's unfornuate that for whatever reason the openning act instead got the press. The Jimmy Swift Band has fought tooth and nail to build their reputation and fanbase, nothing has come easy for this band and it's unfortunate that it is also not easy for this band to get press. I had a great chat last night with Luke, and I think that the whole debacle could have been avoided had I not made such a short off hand comment, what I said was open to interpretation and I will be clearer in my posts, as I do feel it is a problem with many messageboards that members tent to write short curt (and often negative) statements to trash some well written posts, avoiding the opportunity to have healthy exchange of ideas.

if he still likes me after today, yes we will.

I find it very interesting that you guys feel that it is upto me to to provide a thank you... I never asked any of you to write a story, nor did I know that you had pitched the story to your editors. I do however appreciate all the support people have given me and projects I have worked on. I just don't know what you are trying to say "Kitkat," it sounds like an attack on my character. Now that I know that you did try to pitch an article, I'm thankful. I like Dave Lauzon and his music, and I've worked hard to bring him to Toronto, in short there just hasn't been the right opportunity. I wish we could have had him on the bill as a part of the Toronto show, however those were not my decisions. I think that Dave is crazy talented and it's unfortunate that a band like The Jimmy Swift Band doesn get press for their CD Release Party. This is no slight against Dave, I'm just pointing out that it's the second article written about Dave. I say only a few words and it get blown out of proportion. I look forward to talking to Luke and Dave about this tonight. -j

...are you mad at this point? Which is an entirely legitimite point. or this one? also... I wish this were true... I've had only a few street team volunteers, nothing consistent; I've done most everything myself with exception to Will aka SmoothedShredder who has been one of the most helpful and consistent friend I have had. I think I have treated everyone fairly.. if not please stand up. p.s. see you tonight

great show... thank god for the free tickets!

in!

shain shapiro's article in Hamilton... this one with no mention that he was the opener for JSB.

This is the second article about Dave Lauzon .. when the real story is The Jimmy Swift Band release a CD that they've been working on for 2 years. Everyone plays favorites I guess.

JSB hit the stage at mid-nite... usually there is no cover starting at 1:30 am best, j

fixed the minor errors.. that "FLOAT" function is great.. I will be using that one more often!!

mattyp... you won't want to miss this..!! THE JIMMY SWIFT BAND RELEASE: "WEIGHT OF THE WORLD" www.thejimmyswiftband.com www.myspace.com/tjsb Friday, Oct 20 Toronto, ON The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern w/Skratch Bastid

i second the "buy that guy jay cleary a beer!" great thread Rich!

www.myspace.com/jackfruit www.jackfruitmusic.com These guys want to come to Toronto.. but I'm unsure if anyone would want to see 'em... can you guys have a listen and let me know if you'd be interested in seeing them? You might recognize the bass player, he is Stephane from Blue Quarter. let me know your thoughts good and bad.

Thanks for the hook ups Kev!!! George did ask Beck about Scientology... he didn't really say too much about it other than that he has been involved with it since childhood... and that what he hears in the media and on the internet doesn't fit with the experiences he had. p.s. look for the back of my head in the crowd~! jay
