Thanks \/\/illy!

From what I understand, there will be acoustic acts in the saloon during the May long weekend festival, and then the focus of the Canada Day weekend will be acoustic acts. I'm not sure of the details but that's what I've been told.

Peace, Mark

Hey Schwa!

If you need tickets let me know and we'll try to work something out. I can even include those light bulbs that I still have for you!

Peace, Mark

Track 4 starts out "Dry as a bone, in the desert..."

Help!

I know this one is called "As Much As This" because it is the opening song/lyric on the Cruelty's Cure cd.

Thanks for recording \/\/illy!!

Peace, Mark

Happy birthday Craig, aka QQC!

Rock on my friend!

Blue Rodeo

Matthew Good and His Band

The Sadies

The Salads

Grand Theft Bus

And Much More...

Wow, it looks like a very cool event being held very close to here ... I wish I was going to be around for it!

Peace, Mark

Murphy band was sounding pretty sweet as well.

I agree ... the vocals sounded particularly sweet.

Peace, Mark

Too bad Tricky, it sounded like it was going to be a fun show for you. I'll see you on the 9th at the Lanc show ... I look forward to hearing you guys.

Peace, Mark

Wow, am I ever glad I made it out last night! The Fatties kicked it down big time ... I can't remember the last time that I heard them play with that much intensity. Huge props to Ed for an awesome first gig with the band!

Thanks to my friends for showing me some love last night ... so glad you twisted my arm to be there with your messages and phone calls! :)

Peace, Mark

Ok, lots of friendly arm-twisting going on ... not that I need much of it to convince me that I'll have lots of fun shaking it down on the dance floor tonight.

See you all there!

Peace, Mark

I'm still not totally hooked by this band, although I want to be. I've never seen them live though. At some point I will.

I was at their home (the two Romano boys) in Welland over the Easter weekend. Their parents are family friends with my in-laws, and my nephew is a big fan of the band so we went to their place (their parent's home) to meet the band and buy some merch. A very cool experience. I really enjoyed talking with Ian Romano (drummer in the band) and David Romano (who is Ian and Daniel Romano's dad). I've always gravitated toward David ... he is a gentle man and a kick-ass musician. David's dad was also a stellar musician from what I've been told. The music gene obviously runs in the family.

They are building a studio in the Romano family home. Sweet!!! I hope to visit again when the studio is done. Maybe even scream and yell during a recording session.

If you check these guys out Newrider let us know what you think. I'm thinkin' you'll dig what you hear.

Peace, Mark

It's been a whie since I've had a Fatties fix ... I'm really hoping I'll have the energy to make it to this show. Plus that Steve Murphy guy has a lot of friends I like.

Peace, Mark

I find that if I change a few words in the news story' date=' it becomes much more enjoyable to read:

Canada and the U.S. have signed an agreement that paves the way for bands from either nation to send fans across each other's borders during a festival ...

This still makes me laugh a lot. Too funny Mark

Thanks briguy. I find at times it's the only way that I can stay sane ... make light of the crazy sh*t that goes on in the world.

Peace, Mark

I have no idea how much TTC workers get paid, or what the contract issues are, but driving/transporting people in Toronto would be a stressful job and it would take a lot of energy to do it day in and day out. I just think of the grief I've had driving around in that city when I've visited ...

Peace, Mark

Happy Birthday Eric! I look forward to the next time we connect in person, as it is always a treat spending time with you!

Peace, Mark

Happy Birthday Ian!

Happy birthday to everybody!!!

Peace, Mark

This hotel looks like it's in a good location:

It's close to the venue and very close to the College where they are offering the shuttle service from.

Peace, Mark

Happy birthday Lisa ... I love your smile and your positive energy!

Peace, Mark

I am not implying anything' date=' as I highly doubt that YMSB would ever play at the Registry ... although it would be a huge treat if they did![/quote']

If they did a run of several places in Southern Ontario, including Toronto, through Ottawa and then on to Montreal, I think I'd take in the whole run. The Montreal / Toronto pair of shows last year was great, but really whetted my appetite for more YMSB.

Aloha,

Brad

Now that I think about it some more, I could see YMSB playing at the Registry if it was part of a run of shows. Somebody should make this happen!

Peace, Mark

Hmmm, I wonder if overnight parking will be allowed at the College???
