Roll up to a car wash today and tell the guy "outside only" as I usually do.he replied that there is no longer a lower price for "outside only".very Toronto but ok as I was already there I got out and had them clean the inside of an already clean car.the good news is that when I got back in there were two cd's sitting on the passenger seat that I had thought were lost.and lost some years ago! Tab Benoit's "Wetlands" and Johnny Marr's "Boomslang".The Tab Benoit is especially good and the Johnny Marr ( creative force behind the Smiths ) doesn't hold up as well but I always enjoy listening to him play. Subject: Not what's on my turntable but on my passenger seat The first song is "Wrapping Paper", which struck me like something that Ron Sexsmith used as a model - same sentence-like lines, same vocal range, same sort of romanticism. Having finally finished the Cream book, I dug out my best-of comp. Too many highlights to cover, but lyrically there's the following: I didn't find it in the car, but I did just rediscover a Neil Young gem, the "Broken Arrow" CD. There is no feud except in some people's minds, who probably don't really understand what the word means.įrom .net (74.108.31.76)īe sure to Check out "What's New" for some great photos of The Band circa 1971. I still think "feud" is the wrong word to use for this situation that has been kept alive by "die hard" fans that want to keep beating a dead horse. He said I don't think Levon did himself any favour writing that book. Just another one of those, "how I started in the business & my life now & then things." There were some fun parts to reminise over back in the day.Ĭraig made one comment I kinda agreed with some what. It actually didn't affect me in any way at all. I suppose if I had read the book some time ago, I may have a different opinion of it. Maybe a big smiley at the end would've helped?įrom. (24.108.253.172) Re TWOF, didn't Levon express regret for having allowed himself come across as bitter? We've all wished that we'd reflected a bit more before hitting SEND (or SUBMIT) - no matter the merits of our case at the time. Fantastic that stuff of this quality continues to emerge.įrom (204.138.59.92) Yes, many thanks to Tim Wood for finding those 1971 pictures. a complete mystery.does anyone here ever chat? Who are these creatures that do? While living in LA years ago, I used to spend some time at the Rainbow.funny part was upstairs where they had a little roped off VIP section in back of the dance was funny because no one ever knew who the people were in this roped off section.all the famous folks were lying under tables on the main floor.I think it might be the same here.but just want to know if the GB is the main floor or is the Chat Room?įrom .co.uk (82.69.47.175) NBįrom (74.14.107.30)Įver walk down the same street for years and suddenly realize that there are bars on the street that you never have nor ever will enter.I just surfed over to "What's New" and while there saw "Chat Room". Mind you this is just the opinion of an omnifallible mortal with two hearing disorders, so I could be quite wrong(ish) about the whole thing. The early Rambles were a whole other story, or so I gathered in speaking to Barbara O'Brien (if I remember her name correctly). It won't be too big a sound for Massey, which still is quite the intimate venue when compared to others. The sound at Massey is considered excellent, I believe, and what Levon does in his "barn" nowadays is almost too big for that venue, sound-wise. I'm sure you'll get to one someday, even if we have to drag you along with us. Don't worry that Massey Hall ain't no Ramble. Too bad the Levon date at Massey Hall is about one week too early for us.īEG. I see your man Harrison Kennedy is in town in late May, but if you miss him then you can just catch him later in July in France. Then I'll definitely want to stay in the musical loop regarding TO. Seems like the memberships run $30 per year so I'll hold off till we do the big move to Bracebridge in 2011 and get more mileage out of it then. Thanks for your lead to the Toronto Blues Society.
