TONIGHT @ 7: ACOUSTIC MUSIC AT HIDDEN GOLD MINE BAKERY IN MADOC

Hi all,
This came to me today, from out of the blue....
Vivian Forte, a young singer/songwriter in Madoc, has let me know about an  evening of music this Friday at the Hidden Goldmine Bakery in Madoc. She asked  me to come out an play and to let others, who might want to, know as well. I  know nothing about the format, except that she says it will be ‘acoustic’, so I  presume all ‘unplugged’ no mics or sound system and that it will start at 7 pm. 
So....
I have heard Vivian play and she is excellent. I’ve been trying to get her  out to join us at the Amazing Jam and our Kitchen Party gig at the Train Station  in Stirling, so far without success. I’m planning to head for Madoc on Friday to  check this out. Hope some others may do so too.
See you there, then.    :-)

REBOUND

If I were thirteen, I think I would have enjoyed this movie.

FOUR BROTHERS

This movie had a good plot, good rapport among the leading members of the cast and even a bit of heart without being too sappy. I found it very enjoyable.

RADIO-RELATED STUFF

So sorry about Jim Leek.

Enjoyed Walt Sterling on WPHT last Sunday night.

DSCF1771sm
This Sunday afternoon  at The Black  Dog in Stirling. We’ll be playing music there for about 3 hours. Welcomed by both staff and the patrons in the lounge and  restaurant, our music is appreciated. 
Once a month on Sunday afternoons. This Sunday afternoon  (February 8th). Time is from 2 pm until 5.
The format is a ‘song circle’ with  the lead changing from person to person among the group. Everyone has the option  to offer a tune when their turn comes around, or pass to their neighbour if  they’d rather. Depending on the music, the mood, choice of instruments, etc.  some will choose to support whoever is leading a song, others may prefer to sit out and listen.   DSCF1663
We invite you to come out and join us, making music with old friends;  for sure, there’ll be some new faces too.

Remember....
“Bring your instruments, your voices and your music. It’s  all unplugged  and it’s all good! Guitar, bass,  harmonica, banjo,  mandolin, ukulele,  fiddle, accordion,  flute, celtic harp – the list goes  on.
“There may be only 4 or 5 of us or maybe a whole room full of  musicians. A place for ‘first-timers’ and experienced  players alike. A  good bunch of people playing all kinds of music together.  People in their teens all the way through  proto-geezers. Maybe even an DSCF1647sincipient-geriat or two....
“The blues does not rule. Any acoustic music from punk to polka!”

Hope to see you Sunday afternoon in  Stirling.

THE CAT IN THE HAT

I could write a review of this movie but this site did a much better job at getting at what I really wanted to get to than I could.
