I'm thinking about going to this one (and Grace Potter the next night, and The Wood Brothers the night after that). Aloha, Brad

My recording of the March 21, 2003 show by Burt Neilson Band at Babylon in Ottawa, ON is now available for download: http://www.archive.org/details/bnb2003-03-21.bmc3.flac16 Caveat auditor: There are some flaws in this recording, including digital static, and a big volume drop in one tune. Enjoy! Aloha, Brad

I can't imagine what you're going through, Basher. Julia was a shining light of fun to me, both through her postings and in her real-life behaviour. My thoughts and sympathies are with you and her family. Aloha, Brad

Happy Day, meggo! Aloha, Brad

Maybe you do. This article raises an interesting point: Aloha, Brad

Freeker's "Tube" t-shirt is one I'd like to get. I like my South Park Kenny/Chef/TVJesus/MrHanky Boy/Man/God/Shit one. Aloha, Brad

This wasn't the recipe I was thinking of, but it's still a great one. Aloha, Brad

There's one my Mom makes, which is pretty much just melted chocolate chips and shredded coconut, with no baking required: you put spoonful-sized dollops of the batter on waxed paper and leave it in the fridge for a while. I've e-mailed her for the exact recipe. Aloha, Brad

Was name-tag-night the challenge show, that Velvet set up with Dekcuf in an effort to get them to allow taping? Aloha, Brad

Happy Day, Eric! Aloha, Brad

http://www.jambands.ca/sanctuary/showtopic.php?tid/258551/ I've seen Francois Gravel play a couple of times with Virgule (which also includes Philippe and Linsey), and he's really good, and gets off into heavy and freaky territory at times. As well, with three of the four usual quartet members (Craig, Linsey, Mike) also in Mike Essoudry's Mash Potato Mashers, they sometimes play a Mashers tune or three. I've been to two of these nights so far, and they were both really good, so I'm really looking forward to tonight. Is anyone else interested? Alhoa, Brad

I'd like to see what it could do with a track that came from a single mic pointed at a horn section (e.g., one trumpet, one alto sax, one tenor sax). If it could separate each instrument out, it'd greatly reduce the need for multi-tracking horn parts. Aloha, Brad

Even though it deals with neither of the Folk or Blues Fests, this article has some interesting and informative numbers about the TD Ottawa International Jazz Fest. Aloha, Brad

I think the Wood Bros. is your best bet, but Sisters Euclid @ Hugh's Room looks good, too. Aloha, Brad

Almost a year and a half, I think. http://www.archive.org/details/jsb2009-06-05.superlux.flac16 Aloha, Brad
