MtH #6 Opening Night
The Old Lady’s Doing Fine How’s this for a great start to the Massey Hall run. It’s 2:30 pm, a perfect time to leave my house in Mississauga and get downtown comfortably for a 4pm sound check. That will take into consideration most contingencies like traffic jams, searching for a parking spot etc. And it…

Hi everyone Two things to start with. You were expecting some posts about the four show swing through Ontario. Not to trivialize what we do, but there was nothing really worth reporting that would interest most of you (with a couple of exceptions, I’ll get to those). I’m not turning this into Facebook……… eg: Got…

Mike the Heff Weekly #4 Hi everyone. Welcome to the fourth weekly report. I’m starting to get some good feedback even though you don’t see many posted comments. People are preferring to use email. That’s fine. Email is like using “reply”, the posted comments are like using “reply all”. Speaking of feedback, here’s an interesting…

Hi everybody and welcome to the second of my weekly reports. Now I say weekly, but it might be a little bit over-ambitious to expect fifty-two of these in a year. Forty is more realistic. If it gets close to midnight on a Sunday and there still isn’t a report it doesn’t mean that they…

Starting the weekend beginning Friday Oct. 21 and each weekend following, I’ll be reporting on whatever seems interesting at the time.

This is our second time this year at this unusual venue. We do club-style shows from time to time. In fact, BB King’s, just the night before, is a show-bar but a large one like Barrymore’s in Alexandria Virginia or the Canyon Club just north of LA. But the Ram’s Head is more like the places I…

Hi everyone. I’m back at the hotel after an excellent show at the Flynn Centre here in Burlington Vermont and preparing this post for tomorrow’s show in New York. I love going to “The City” which, the last time I checked, puts me in the minority in our organization. Not that anyone hates it, just…

I started with the idea that popular music isn’t static. As a genre it’s continually in flux, influenced by changes in culture, politics, technology, fashion, war, climate etc. Sometimes certain events or songs are “watershed” moments and it would be cool to get some input as to what those moments are or were.
