whiteymuseum Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 After some sensitive talks over beers, debates about Marcel Dionne and bonding through our mutual love for the Rheostatics...Doug Feaver will humbily be retiring from his weekly residency with the Casbah/LaLuna family. After 12 years with the occasional hiatus for tours and what not, Doug Feaver's final epic performances will be: Wed Dec 1 Wed Dec 8 and Wed Dec 15 Casbah Lounge 306 King St W Hamilton No Cover Charge. But perhaps feel more inclined than ever to come out and support Doug and his 3-hour psychedelic folk performances. All the best, Doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Toot Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Wow, what a timewarp ! This brings me back to summer 1993, a great summer spent in Hamilton. I saw Doug Feaver on 5-6 Thursdays at La Luna, and I remember that his shows rocked. If one particular girl, I believe her name was Jeanette, was there, Doug always played "Not Fade Away" for her on request. Great great times. This reminds me how much time has passed since then. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I've had a lot of good times with Dougie. My mind's eye casts itself back to the good ol' days at the old La Luna where he would draw quite the sizeable crowd for quite a while, beautiful barefoot girls spinning and dancing and Doug sticking to the tunes and layin' it down while we all drank and celebrated life moved from adolescence into something else altogether. Thanks Doug! I may have to catch one of these shows coming up....... it's been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteymuseum Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 This is insane! I won't believe it till I hear from the man himself Uh? What? Doug's has two weeks left. Why would I post this if it were un-true? I'm confused. The words "retiring" are being used, as in he's retiring from his gigs on weekly Wednesdays. He's not retiring all together.

secondtube Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 "If one particular girl, I believe her name was Jeanette, was there, Doug always played "Not Fade Away"" THATS crazy....Jeanette is one of my best friends, who i met well after those days.... She always talks about seeing Doug in the early 90's...but i was only 12 years old...lol Small world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteymuseum Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I seriously doubt people associate me with the jam-scene, but it was Doug Feaver & Fat Cats gigs that first got me out to shows downtown. I made the walk up Coote's to the Delaware bus almost weekly for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 too bad, personally haven't been making it out often enough to catch his shows lately... Doug rocks, a Canadian institutionhave met a lot of great people at Doug Feaver shows over the years and had many many awesome timeswill be there next Weds, but am also thinking everyone should team up to help spread the word and try to get a big crew together for his last night (Weds, Dec. 15) to pay our due respects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briguy Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I’m rounding up people for this Wednesday. The folks in Hamilton should consider this a priority. Thanks for the video, Esau. Very enjoyable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 would also be good if anyone in Simcoe, Brantford, Grimsby or anywhere roughly within an hour of Hamilton (even Toronto) could help spread the word as well... used to be lots of folks come in to town to see Doug play who would appreciate knowing this is happeningsee ya Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
