The 'Machine' worked great powering Bon Jovi to a thunderous show a
couple of days ago. Then we had Fergie (She's just amazing...no Jessica
Rabbit, but amazing.)
Tomorrow night Black Crowes...
Then Saturday night Rascal Flatts to be followed by Big & Rich on
Sunday....but tonight...tonight..in little ol' Sarnia. it is the Crue.
What a different crowd they attract! I have never seen this many
piercings and tattoos in my life. License plates from all over the US
and Canada. Even a VW micro bus with flowers...WTF??? For a Crue
concert? You have GOT to be kidding me.
Anyway... I'm BBQ-ing a burger and I will be able to hear them just
fine...really... (Bon Jovi set off my alarm)
Like Freud said: "Ach, to be Jung again!"
And what does this have to do with wood dorking?
Absolutely fuck all.
Hence the OT. I'm kinda proud of my little town.
Hence the post.

I am impressed. Sarnia is funny about hockey. Just 45 minutes out of
Detroit, there are a lot of Red Wing fans. A lot of that goes back to
the days of the TV antenna.
Then there are those Sarnians who feel they should root for a Canadian
team..... but we're not too crazy about snooty Toronto as a city...and
those Leafs [sic] are losers, so we just skip that town and root for
Montreal.

I ALWAYS wear earplugs at concerts. They take most of the 'heat' off
the top-end and the low-end still comes through with all the
tactility. Learned that one from a Ring Audio customer.

<G> A friend of mine who owns a schoolbus line, has a Volkswagen Jetta

LOL... not long ago... I sat up and said: "This is pretty cool

Oh well. There ain't no room for prejudices.
I guess I'm sticking with Glenn Miller's saying: "If it sounds good...
it IS good."
STILL!!...not bad for a wee town, huh?

For all the criticism that Toronto gets, there are times when I'm proud of
some of the things that happen here too. May 3, I Got up early and was ready
online to snag myself eight Jeff Healey Tribute concert tickets for myself
and a few buddies. Colin James, Randy Bachman, David Wilcox, Jack Bruce, Ian
Gillan and many others performed with the Jeff Healey Blues Band. I don't go
to too many concerts, but this one was well worth attending. ~ Glad I
remember to take the ear plugs.

Ya ain't heard nothing to you hear the Boswell Sisters. Three middle class
white girls from uptown 'Naw'lins who put "soul" in music long before blacks
snapped to it. As a musician I never cease to be amazed by their innovation,
and the fact that you never hear of their influence on "pop" music. The
first time you hear the words "rock and roll" was on one of their recordings
... circa 1934.

Sarnia? Is that in Italy? That would explain the odd juxtaposition
of anachronistic acts and vehicles.

He was on Austin City Limits here about a month or two ago. (ACL is a
PBS program that features music/musicians if you don't get it there up
north.)
He was in pretty good voice, but he really looked terrible. I watched
the 7 minute interview they did with him after his segment and I
didn't have any idea how sick he really was a few years ago.
I knew he had the spots on his vocal cord that kept him from speaking
for a couple of years. I had understood (as he had) that he wouldn't
sing again. Magically, his voice came back.
He was truly amused that his voice came back in a different key and
register. Honestly amused. As in snickering. He chuckled and said
that he now sings some of the old songs a little faster in his new
register and people think he has written new material. He really
liked that.
While he looked awful, he allowed that his recent health travails (I
didn't know they were also potentially life threatening) gave him a
new perspective and outlook on life. His new perspective showed
well. He was relaxed, talkative, and was looking forward to many more
years of performing with his compatriots.
I was surprised at his sense of humor. It usually comes out in his
music a bit ("Dear Abby" and one of my personal all time favorites,
"In Spite of Ourselves") but he is always so shy in his interviews I
was really surprised at him. I was kinda cool to see him in a good
place.

Indeed. Different strokes. My favourite concert in recent memory was
John Prine.

too much.

Me too, Rob. I was staying with my mother last summer (lakeshore drive &
Christina)) and could hear the bands plain as day. It's come a long ways
since the bandstand out in Bright's Grove. That may be a few years
before your time.

I used to have a t-shirt advertising the Ozzie Nelson Band summer tour
1933 (with girl singer Harriet Hilliard). Sweet. :-)
