Gigging the Rock Show
I can't wait to be back in the Rock Show next Saturday. It should be the first of many many more to come.We have been fine tuning some of the older tunes and adding a bridge for good measure here and there. Its been very creative with lots of great ideas. You'd think after this long apart from each other there might be a lot of rust but actually its the opposite. Everyone is playing at the top of their game and there are some pretty whicked harmonies. James's voice still makes all the girls want to be with him and all the guys want to be him.In case you've missed it, here is the location info for Saturday March 27:T.S.T's Launch Pad46 Hyde avTorontocall Katie and Mike for directions 416-654-3598It is a bring your own pleasure affair. Remember it is a working recording studio and someone's home.Maybe we'll gets some clips up after tomorrow's rehearsal.Leeds

CANADA HOCKEY GOLD!!!!!!

What a game. It couldn't have been scripted any better. Canada 3-USA 2 in OT.
It was a battle the whole olympics for Team Canada. Lots of self inflicted pressure from the rest of Canada. Canada wears its hockey passion on its sleeve and I'm just as passionate. Go Canada Go. And they prevail.

A quick take away has to be the Burke and Co. built USA machine. Awesome. If/when Burke gets his other team built the same way, I can stake claim to my parade seat on Bay st.

What an awesome Olympic tournament.

Too good to be true...?

A lot of us have been conditioned to think that when something comes along that seems too good to be true, it probably is. But what about when it is true? Like the whole personal branding phenomena. Seems everyone has a blog, facebook, a myspace page, something on youtube. Some piece of social media. Maybe it's the pursuit of the 15 minutes of fame idea from the past and wanting more. Hell, I even have these things now. A little slow getting out of the gate and running. Maybe I'm pacing myself for the finish. i just need more people to have a look. Be patient, I'll come up with something witty to say.
Anyways, I saw the coolest post of the day come accross my facebook page today - “Cash in on your passion”. Here is the link: http://www.channelship.ie/blog/post-2094-cash-in-on-your-passion.php - check out the video in the middle of the page with Gary Vaynerchuk sitting on the couch. Lifes tough ain't it?

Go Team Canada women.

The Fender Stratocaster

I just started a GROUP on FACEBOOK called STRAT'S ARE WHERE ITS AT : http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=289696991600&ref=search&sid=868650437.979029431..1

My idea here is get people to tell me about their guitar, Strat, experiences.
After gigging with them for more than 25 years, I still find them the most dynamic and versatile guitar to play. Mine can cover everything from pretty nuances to in your face growl.
There are many excellent resources on the internet for Strat's. One of my fav's is STRATCOLLECTOR .COM

My main one at the moment is an 86 American Standard with an E4 serial number. Black with a maple neck, all stock. The American Standard in 86 was the guitar that reinvented FENDER after some difficult production years under CBS. These were the guitars that revived Fender. I can attest to the notion, play one and you'll never put it down.

Crush It

I've just embraced the importance of social networks after reading Gary Vaynercuk's book, Crush It. My view is now, if the internet is the information highway, social networks are the billboards along the side of the road. There is a lot of them, but everyone has heard of Waffle House.
Enjoy.
