Jazz at the Shoe Shop
Last night after guitar lesson (which could have been worse, considering I didn't play at all the previous week and only a couple of times over the weekend) I went down to the Economy Shoe Shop for a jazz performance by Rob and some friends (including Damien from the old Tuesday Night Band, this time on his usual instrument, drums ( Read more... ) -
Playing catchup: Tribeca Tuesday Night Band, April 28th
I've missed about a month of Tuesdays: last week I was distracted by a Wednesday morning commitment and decided not to go out, it was cancelled three weeks in a row for one reason or another, and prior to that I had pinkeye. So, sheesh--more than a month. Apparently last week Jason Haywood came back, and Evan was playing drums (not sure where Shaun ( Read more... ) -

One of the best things about living in a university town is the number of students around to take advantage of drink specials at local bars ( Read more... ) -
"Broken hearted and nothin' to lose/ But I'm all right for the shape I'm in..."
Having enjoyed as much of the returns as I could stand (see previous post) I went downtown for the providential return of Toonie Tuesdays @ Tribeca. Rob had promised special guests, but after more than a month I was prepared to be perfectly happy with the regular cast, you know ( Read more... ) -
"Well, ev'ry night you drag me where the bright lights are found..."
Okay, so last night's Tribeca Tuesday show got off to a slow start. What can I say--the Tuesday night before classes begin for most of the universities and colleges around town (give me a second while I count them... this may involve removing my socks...) is not always the liveliest time to be hanging around a bar. In fact, for the first few songs ( Read more... ) -
Tribeca Tuesday
As I recall, last time I posted about a Tribeca Tuesday show I commented that I had better get the post written just in case Canada won the showjumping and I lost my marbles and never got back to the post.
Wasn't that prescient of me ( Read more... ) -
"There's a band in the hall, just playing for kicks..."
I looked at my little notebook last night and realized I am three shows behind in musical writeups. My intentions were honourable, but then the showjumping went down and I lost my mind. The individual event is coming up so I think I better get this entry written, just in case the best-case scenario happens and I have to run screaming into the ( Read more... ) -
"Standing outside in the pouring rain/ Getting my poor house rearranged..."
I made it downtown last night, which would not have been an accomplishment except for the fact it was hammering down raining when I reached Sackville Street (seriously, if it had been raining that hard in Clayton Park I might not have left the house)--I could hardly see, and then my driver's side wiper blade came apart. Lovely. Good thing it was ( Read more... ) -

Jason, Rob, Dave and Shaun played a set opening for a songer named Norma MacDonald (who was charming and funny and I think I'll look up her CD) at Ginger's last night. I'm in haste, so here is the set list:
