I love playing this song. I consider it a modern day classic...

I saw Jeff walking into the Warehouse in TO back in the 90's... he didn't see me... Sorry... I really am... He was great... RIP

A lot of songs sound similar...

I miss my Pleco...

Along the lines of Killerteddybear's post... You can pretty much name a Canadian act from the early 80's and throw it on my pile... Harlequin Kick Axe Streetheart Queen City Kids Prism Martha & the Muffins Helix Toronto The Pursuit of Happiness

Had an opportunity to open for them here in Edmonton, Canada way back then... one of those 3 pm calls... One of the guys had disappeared, so we had to pass... bummer indeed!

'Record-copy' method. Wore out a LOT of tapes!

The Smiths - How Soon is Now. Something about this just intro kicks me into ultra-drive... lol Edited to add: I'm a tremolo-whore... it's sad but true!!!

I'm certainly no expert, but I do believe that a medium tip Sharpie™ is the approved method... My guess is that some sort of pen will be the best way.

I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once, as I ever was...

Vocally... I have never been better... bass-wise... probably holding my own...

Beau Dommage = quel dommage... IMHO Geez, what about Rene Simard or Patsy Gallant... heck even Andre Philip Gagnon... lol April Wine was from Quebec... As for the Hip... they write the best tunes... I can't stand Downie's voice... he shivers me timbers... but I guess it wouldn't work without him... Hey, what about Saga? Wait they're from Ontario...

Mmm Hmmmm.... 20 minutes to go... I hate being right all the time. Guess who's on call and has to wait around for this... <BIG sigh> Breaking news... docs here... I should be outta here on time!

I got a truck loaded and headed to Williston, ND... all well and good. BUT...not a single piece of documentation that I can send to the Customs broker... Being as it's Friday I should see that at oh, i don't know, 4:55 PM... <sigh>

Geez had nothin' but heartache when we did this... The guitar player from church was specifically asked to put together a small group to come in and do some Sunday morning type stuff. She was an attender... she knew what we normally do. So we went in and did it. 1/3 were avowed atheist types and were absolutely incensed that we played 'all that God music'... I got no sympathy... they knew what was happening... maybe they were hoping WE forgot what we were gonna be playing... 1/3 were pizzed because we only played 3 or 4 hymns... The final 1/3 were appreciative... One thing bout reaching that age... they aren't shy about letting you know how they feel.(like in the middle of a song... lol)

Maria del Mar fronted National Velvet... saw them live in a large club back in the day. They were opening for the London Quireboys... That show was scary loud but super clean. I have to say that mixer was TOPS! I / we had the pleasure of opening for Maria's post NV project called 'Hassenpfeffer'. She is something else let me tell you!

Canadian Grrls!! Sass and Bif Naked...

I have always had a soft spot for Marie Osmond and who can discount Karen Carpenter

Happy Birthday to all of you!!!

Just thinkin'... If that's still for sale, things sure have changed around the HFC. Lol

Sure enough look at KISS... lol... It'll out last Simmons and Stanley if they have their way....

That's how it STARTS with a bass like this... next thing you know it's 'Clean up on aisle six...clean up on aisle six.'

I just wet myself... no, really!

Fast healing to you Bill!!!

Those were crazy fun cars!!!
