Sad news....
The series of events known as ‘Kitchen Party at the Train Station’ has been cancelled. There will be no March 13th performance.
Although we collaborated with the Stirling Rotary Club to create and run 2 very successful ‘Kitchen Party’ events at the Stirling Grand Trunk Railway Station (last November and this February), unfortunately our partnership with Stirling Rotary did not work out for the longer term. We appreciate the terrific audience support for the musicians who played on stage at these events and the many kind words we have heard for the show we envisioned and brought together.
We are looking at other venues that may welcome our high-quality open-stage event to showcase the ability of local musicians. We’ll be sharing information by email as it becomes available. Watch the Facebook page – ‘BV Amazing Music’ – for developments.
On behalf of all who contributed to make this project possible,
Thank you, and please stay in touch for news of future projects.

THE MAN
This movie sucked completely, except for the certain amount of humour that Eugene Levy or any SCTV alum for that matter brings to a performance, and the way Levy's character turns the tables on the bad guys. Otherwise, it was just another unfunny, vulgar mismatched cop comedy.

RADIO-RELATED STUFF
Didn't pick up anything on 1560 in the temporary absence of WQEW. Have heard Family Radio since then.
Was listening to KVMR the other week. It sure is an interesting radio station.
This week, I've been listening to BBC Scotland. I really like "Get It On." A real variety of music, perfect for the IPod generation. Another music program BBC Scotland had was like that, too.
Glad kusf.org has IDs and announcers now.
Lost a whole bunch of great jocks this week.
WSM was coming in almost like a local last night.
Was listening to "Allen Wiener Worldwide" tonight. To think that a girl who first did radio back when she was in nursery school and visited WREM actually went on to do it! So cool.
Picked up AM 820 Columbus Ohio a week ago Thursday.
Picked up WEEU, Reading, Pennsylvania this past Monday. I checked out their website and schedule just now and they definitely have unique and interesting-sounding programming.

The Amazing Jam
This Sunday, March 8th from 2 pm until 5
At the Black Dog, 227 West Front St. in Stirling.
*Pssst! And don’t forget to check the Facebook page ‘BV Amazing Music’ for postings about more music and events in this area. There’s a lot of good stuff happening this next 2 weeks....

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 (March 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.

ADAM AND EVE
This movie had the potential to be so much more, part fratboy comedy though it may be.
The biggest problem is nothing is explained or defined. For example, Eve definitely should have had more of a backstory to help explain her fear of intimacy and why she was still a virgin. Other characters, such as Patti, could have stood to have backstories as well, and if Adam and Patti didn't sleep together, then what exactly was wrong with Adam anyway?
The bottom line: if this were less a poor attempt at a fratboy comedy and more a film that actually explored the issues it discusses, it could have been a great film.
If this is what National Lampoon has sunk to after its heyday of a few decades ago I truly feel sorry for them.
