YouTube You

15 Feb

It’s not everyday I decide to do my own YouTube video, but after all the show’s done, I thought it would be good idea to show a little mash of a few songs (Wonderwall, Say it Ain’t So, Sweet Child o Mine, Blister in the Sun) from one my many live shows. YouTube is such a powerful tool that I may revisit this idea again with some of my original songs. Here’s the link check it out” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eek4ogW-65I

Long December

30 Dec

Ahh December, end of the year, end of a day, end of minute. This month was the grand finale to a year which saw almost 50 gigs. To celebrate I think I may hibernate for January/February and re-immerge in March 2014 a completely different singer-songwriter performer. 1December’s climax was 4 straight gigs in a row, and the toll on my voice was so apparent that by the last show of the year (Dec.23rd) 2I had a healthy supply of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with honey, lemon, ginger and red hot sauce next to me for support. Happy xmas.

When does a gig, stop being a ‘gig’, and becomes an event? When you play a great golf course lounge. That’s what I did twice in late October at the world renowned ‘Glen Abbey Golf Course’, where I played in their beautiful Eighteen Lounge and Restaurant to professional golfers and exclusive club members. 4 1 While bar mitzvah, weddings were going on in the hall beside me, I was doing every hit from 1961 to around 1988 to appease every demographic present while they ate their dinner, or sipped their martinis. 3A common sign language occurrence would happen as I would get a ‘thumbs up’, ‘head nod’, ‘eye blink’ from patrons as they listened. As I’d perform, I’d also stare out of a large window, which had a fantastic view of the golf course, and a ‘RBC Canadian Open’ sign, it was a pretty mind-blowing. Four!
