DevO Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Me too.Frankly I can't remember the last time I saw a Quebec date that was east of Montreal.Harry Manx always seems to have pretty random (to me) Quebec destinations on his tour schedule. Fun to look at. I'd go find the dates and cut and paste but I'm on a Mac right now and it would take too long to figure out how to do everything, lol.

AD Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 i might see the levis date, depends if the snow storm hits quebec city and we can get out of here or not.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'll definitely be heading back to Ottawa to catch this show. And I don't get why they don't have any SoOn dates; they 'broke up' just because one of their guitarists moved to T-dot, so..... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry_llama Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Come to Hamilton, I will go to the show and bring some people with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YearsAlongTheSea Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) Last night was really good. Good to see all the cats who made it out, and I have to say, they were a little tighter than usual, maybe because they, for once, had been playing consecutive shows? Who knows, well done though...Edit to Add:Does anyone else have a problem with the fact that they claim to have written "Ain't Gonna Drink No More" ? I don't know who wrote it, I just know it wasn't them, and on 'Sweet As The Grain' they label themselves as the authors.And, 'No More Rock and Roll,' sounds way too much like 'Cold Jordan' for my liking...That's all....

phorbesie Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 doug wrote ain't gonna drink no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 doug wrote ain't gonna drink no more.That's what it says in the album liner, but trust me, I've heard too many bluegrass covers from people way before the John Henry's to believe that. And, if he re-wrote it, he could have gone out on a limb a little more in my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 well doug is the most honest person you'll ever meet, and he would never take credit for something that wasn't his.maybe you've noticed that a lot of bluegrass songs have similar sounds and themes...so i don't doubt you've heard something similar.

Velvet Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Doug started writing the song on the way home from a party at my place. He worked on the song for about a month*, and I heard it several times along the way as it developed. Good songs sound familiar. If you find the 'source' for this song I'd be very interested in hearing it.*Doug spends more time on writing a song than I've ever heard anyone spend, and not lacadaisical time either; when he's working on a song, he's working on it. 'Burnout' took about four months to write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 On a quick search I found nothing, but I'm not convinced. I'm not calling plagerism or anything, I'm just pointing it out.And 'Burnout' is an excellent tune, I have no doubt Doug is a thourough song writer and that this is a coincidince; I just know I've heard it before. I want to say it's a trad. tune that Yonder covered a lot, but again, I'll be back when I actually look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Good songs sound familiar.I have listened to my fair share of bluegrass and Yonder. Velvet and Phorbs seem to know the score on this one. Aint Gonna Drink No More has a familiar quality to it. I think its that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YearsAlongTheSea Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Ya'll have me backed into a corner here. I'm just going to turn my chair around and cry for a bit...Phorbsie: Does your post remind you of those "Sthephen Dion is not a Leader" commercials by chance?

the john henrys Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Thanks everyone for coming out! We are shooting for some april dates for Southern Ontario. We will have actual dates by mid march: at the MOHO in peterborough Toronto (probably at the cadillac lounge) Hamilton (somewhere they will have us...any suggestions?) And yes, Doug wrote the lyrics and tune to Ain't gonna drink...but Rey steals all of his songs off of the Wayne Ronstadt unreleased archives...
