Hi everyone! If you’ve been following my blog, you might remember the story of the white knuckle flight home from Scottsdale, Arizona, early one June morning in 2017.The post is available in the archive under the “Blog” tab. It’s called “Left At Albuquerque,” and you’ll have to scroll down a ways to find it.We made…

In Orbit Around The Greater Toronto Area         We did four shows within the Greater Toronto Area ( GTA ) and six just outside it. All were drivable although we made use of hotels frequently. Richmond Hill, Belleville, Barrie, Parry Sound, St. Catherines, Oakville and Mississauga.         I have a…

I Know I Can, I Know I Can         To people from southern California the acronym OC means Orange County. That’s where I am as I write this. To be more exact, Anaheim. To the rest of the English speaking world OC means Obsessive Compulsive.   Except for a relatively brief love affair…

For years we’ve played at an excellent open-air venue called Humphreys when we were in the San Diego area. It was up by the airport, right on the water with the marinas. The theatre pictured here, the Balboa, is our first time downtown in 30 years.Our show here Wednesday, “was the cleanest so far this…

This latest one at the Luther Burbank Center in Santa Rosa really had some extra magic.  Gord was at ease with the audience and he created an interesting rapport with them.   Musically it kicked ass.

We were having a little fun and so was the appreciative…

The Crest Theatre      Sacramento Monday March 4 2019 Amazing. Ya gotta love it. Three and a half months since our last show and with no rehearsal, we played a pretty damned good concert. Not flawless……….one or two speed bumps and “oh shit” moments, but none the less, it sounded like we never took a break.…

Hey Everyone! The 2019 tour starts today We arrived in Sacramento yesterday. Our first show is tonight at the Crest Theatre. If it’s not a train wreck there will be a review. I’m going to try to keep a mental list of how many times during a song I’ll be thinking “what chord is next?” Or “oh…
