A few weeks ago, I attended a celebration of life. A large gathering of Peterborough’s music alumni who came to say goodbye to Buzz Thompson. Buzz was an icon in the community and one of those guys who lived the life he wanted, as a musician. Not an easy life, […]
Hot enough for you? Hello July, here to remind us it’s not really the heat, but the humidity. Stifling, I’ve hear old people call it. So as people run from air conditioned cars to air conditioned offices to air conditioned houses, others aren’t so fortunate and take to hanging out […]
Ah June, in like a lion. That’s the last time I’ll complain about a chilly spring. Whoosh, it’s already hurricane season down south and I’m a bit anxious as to what kind of weather we’re going to see this summer. Windy and wet I bet. Speaking of windy, I’ve been […]
Lots to talk about this month. I even made a list because sometimes I don’t remember to comment on things until I’m reading the hard copy. “Old timers” I guess. Speaking of “old timers” I’d like to address all those thinking of supporting Doug Ford in the provincial election. Bad […]
Ok, I’m only going to say this once, but I’m taking my lead from Randy Wright this month and want to comment on the city spending 500,000$ on a sign welcoming people to Peterborough. In all fairness, we also got a new slogan and a logo; some wavy blue lines […]
Spring? Is that you? While putting this issue together I’m looking out the window to see shoots in the garden and buds on the branches. I have to admit, there’s something always inspiring when the winter weather turns to spring. But the end of February? That’s just not right. And […]
So January was fun. I spent most of it, once again, taking in some sun and rum and copious amounts of Cuban music. I just can’t get enough of that cowbell! This time, I think I may have made some serious inroads, having connected with a new band and making […]
Well that was better. After the most depressing November, December panned out to be both inspiring and uplifting. There was of course “The Season.” Not always great, but for me this year, painless. Saw family, gained pounds, watched little kids giggle. It was all the things you imagine a Disney […]
Hello November, what do you hold for me? Gigs, you say! First, I’ll be bringing Bowie Lives back to the club where it all began, The Oshawa Concert Hall, Saturday November 11. The show has been together for almost a year now, and it gets tighter every time we perform […]
I have to admit, I’m getting tired of opening every editorial with “Well that month blew by…” I wish someone would call me and tell me it’s happening to them too. Looking back on last month, another blur. For me it had some gigging, some riding, some business. Pretty much […]
