Hey thanks, Rita... you did some graphics work there. Thank you, but you could've posted it as it was. Cheers!

Oh no... really sorry to hear. I thought he was getting better. Meeting and hanging out with David was a delight. He lived life to the fullest, eating up life in big bites, but a very gentle soul all the same. A fantastic poet/writer and one of the few true omnivores musically, he was on my side roo...

Happy twooth, JT!

Wish I could hear the Eric Boeren 4tet, among others.

Tickets/passes and accommodation on us... all you've got to do is spend 1200 a piece [ouch!] on flights.

All best wishes on this, your 2nd ambitious Something Else! festival, Cem! Ayup. And that Eric Boeren 4tet—hoo-ha! Oooh yeah.... thanks, Rita! I might get to see them 3 times, as they're playing Guelph and Toronto after Hamilton. Love that band! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0JrZEMLvhw

Cheers, Ron!

It's the blasted back door that's the problem. Better attach a string to anything that's smaller than a breadbox. It's a lot better than going to the ER and making up a story about how you fell on a barbie doll. Million to one shot, doc, a million to one…! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZPiWDOCEak

Nutella… possibly with salted pretzels

Sounds like my last emcee job at our last show…

I'm very sorry to hear this, Doug.
My sincere condolences...

Hi, Cem. We just saw the 50th anniversary theatrical release of A Hard Day's Night. Is this playing up there yet? Beautifully remastered or whatever they do to old film. What a TRIP to watch it on the big screen, after having seen it for decades on the small screen. Denise, who was born in Mexico t...

Been watching a lot of series on Netflix.
No recent releases, but I do sneak in the odd classic film from the Clint box, plus some choice Criterion things of late; Late Ozu box, Scorsese World Cinema box, Cassavetes box, Nashville, Battle of Algiers...

John was a deadhead, was into nature and posted some great historic photos on JC, so this video seems appropriate…

That's our boy! …uhm, uncle

Really sad… I said on fb "was listening to CBC 1 coverage all day, while delivering the damn mail and aside from Anna Maria's irritatingly insincere sounding, emphatic "hmmm"s (otherwise I love her), everything was tip top. Having thoughtful commentary was helpful to me, as I was dist...

Ron, I love that!
Let me know, what you think of this (sorry, not jazz, necessarily):

Yes, Ron, great to have and hear it on vinyl… though one must be careful which version, I guess. Seems common to find duds, as there are a lot of scamming operations releasing subpar recordings not from the original analog source masters, but digital sources. A sampling from Saturday's Toronto recor...
