  3. cool...and like the quotation, I also often wonder if I have free will....even my impatient urge to try to control things seems to be a part of my dualistic nature ...it seems that I've been born divided...like twins I am...fighting for an increased connectedness to the motherlode that is nature ... physics... the universe...

    and I guess that's just the way it is...it seems to me that I'm just a ...dare I say it...PASSENGER on the road of life...and the more I accept that possibility the easier my life seems to be...the more I go with the flow...this is what I tend to think bro...

    Nature Rules!...enjoy the ride!...Peace!...Jim

    here's the sales pitch..................???

  5. thanks man...I'm sure the ottawa deally was a cool/fun thing...we haven't got any calls from them that's for sure...no doubt we'd be total hyprocrites and cave in and do it...but I doubt that'll happen...we're not a name brand...we just gottta play and leave the bogus promo to the major Domos...as I said that Toronto blues festival seemed to be more about names/money...not like smaller festivals like Hillside, Blue Skies, Come Together, Evolve etc./what have you, where it seems to be more about the music ... it's just interesting to see... the ottawa thinghy's successful...so they go to Toronto and try to milk it and the cash cow is parched...I like to see it when they try to over-milk it and they get milked

    I'm confident that the day will come when the bigger music festivals etc. will balance their booking of acts wrt art and commerce...not so heavily leaning toward commerce as they do today....people gotta make a living for sure...but how much does one really need ... people will say "I want my children to not have to worry about money"...but if you spend your life making/hording gobs of money and that whole deal pre-empts spending time with your children,your children will be lot worse off...I say, make love in all it's wondrous forms and enuff money will come...I look forward to the day...hope I'm alive to see it...

    no cover at these shows...come join the band!...Peace...Jim

  8. new album out recently...the drummer (Sam Cino)plays regularily with Passenger and Chipotle...they were originally from guelph...university town band formation...now mostly out of Toronto...they're playing somewhere on August 6th...not sure where...

  9. so I guess you'd like us to be more concise with our descriptions...sure...I can take that kinda of criticism ... I'm not a publicist so if I've been pushing the wrong buttons we can chalk it up to my lack of media savvy ...

    cJhim...I'm a musician... not a salesman ...or a doctor for that matter....

    I don't know what to say to you people about our music...I say just listen to it...It speaks for itself ... all the webpostings and attempts to get people out to shows is certainly daunting at times ... It's not something I look forward to doing...nor do I claim to know how to do it ... I'd say just try to be open-minded to new things that you haven't heard and have a good time......Peace!....Jim
