lots happening…
It seems my blogs have recently been reduced to updates on my life and happenings. Hope that it doesn’t bore you, but life somtimes gets too busy to blog so it’s easier or more efficient to pack it into one.
Here goes…
My life is still pretty hectic these days…with work, school (2 graduate classes) and my family (plus an extra gig in here and there), there’s not much time for anything else…ok…I always seem to squeeze a little golf in.
My family and I had a week of vacation (which as you can see, I need)…I took a brake from all the things above (except my family of course) and spent a great week together. We went to the always exciting, ‘Niagra Falls’ for a few days, where my kids thoroughly enjoyed an indoor water park and the Marvel Adventure Centre…actually, I kind of enjoyed those too.
On Thursday, Janet and I (along with 2 great friends in Rob and Nicole) went to see The Police in concert…great show. Amazing to see these 3 guys having a blast on stage with no worries at all. Sting always impresses (not as much as he does with his other band), Andy Summers looked the oldest by far and Stewart Copeland was all 80’s (i.e. white pants and and classic nike’s)
The rest of the week was spent lounging around the house.
My vacation ended by playing bass with (old friend) Phil Aud. We put on a concert to raise money for his (first) upcoming cd. He writes great tunes…seriously…they’re musical, meaningful and very profound…unlike some of the crap that’s out there. I had the pleasure of playing with a great Toronto Jazz pianist who sat in on keys with our band. His name is Roby Botos and he’s a pretty amazing musician (considered Toronto’s best Jazz Pianist). I have a few gigs (on bass) coming up in the next few weeks which I’m looking forward to…better keep my chops up. Phil did great as usual and so did the band…the great Sean Meredith-Jones on guitar and Matt Smith on Drums.
If I sound like I’m rambling then I probably am. Life is sometimes like that…going from event to event and then looking back to see what heck you actually did.
Peace
