Here’s the great thing about John Reischman and The Jaybirds: they’re coming to Halifax on March 27th and playing at the Carleton. Truth be told, there are many great things about John and his band, but for me it’s especially good to know he’s coming to town. John and I go back to my first [...]
…and Lisa Kent and Charlie Greenspoon. Have you met Danny? What a goof. Who does he think he is? Big shot producer, wine snob, Scotch snob, wanna be tennis pro. Oh, and he thinks he can cook. What a goof. Well, ok…maybe not such a goof. Great producer, generous friend, fantastic dinner companion, oblivious to [...]
I’m so, so happy to tell you that Raylene’s CD is available on this website. If you go to the Music Store, you’ll find a PayPal button that will allow you to pay online. I’ll pop one in the mail to you. These are pre-release sales – the CD won’t be in [...]
Sorry for the late post, sorry for the brevity, sorry for the pared down writing. I’m in the Halifax airport on my way to Rome, wondering how the last days of our tour slipped by so quickly. After Virden, we forged on to Pinawa, and then to Manitou. in Pinawa, we stayed in the comfortable, [...]
I’ve missed updating on a few shows because of time limitations and this almighty cold. This morning, I’m in Virden, Manitoba – Jays Inn, precisely- having a coffee in a styrofoam cup. Sunday took us to Medicine Hat for a show at the Medalta Clayworks Museum. More on that later. For now, let me tell [...]
One of those nights. Late start, sinus problems, throat of razor blades…well, we all have nights like that. The air here is so arid that the few bits of laundry i washed out yesterday dried during soundcheck..not kidding. Hung them up at 3:45, they were dry by 5:00. Crazy dry. On the way to Medicine [...]
Thanks to the folks of Festival Place for the welcome they gave us. These Alberta folks are the finest kind. A few East Coasters there, too. Another fine kind. Back to Calgary tonight for the Bow Valley Folk Club show. Should be another beautiful drive. Oh, I watched a great TED talk this morning. Gem [...]
Had a great time in Olds Alberta last night at the lovely arts and media centre. Wow…nice theatre. The gals shone and the audience was really lovely. Best part was seeing someone’s companion dog sitting right in front of the first row…right in front of us, really. Nice dog…nice people. Oh, and James Logan, our [...]
Off we go. Olds, Edmonton, Bow Valley, Medicine Hat, Forget, Virden, Manitou…back in about ten days. Good news that Raylene’s new CD will be going with us. See ya.
Well, sorry for the long absence. Life, as we continue to understand it. My recent happy experience at the Sherbrooke Songwriter’s Camp was enough to get me through the summer with a sense of satisfaction and joy. Well needed. My fellow “instructors” – facilitators, really – were James Keelaghan, David Francey, Clary Croft and Craig [...]
