Wordless Wednesday

four neck guitar

Man, now that’s a guitar! I think you’d have to be huge in order to play this wide four necked guitar.

Now this one …. I think you’d need an extra arm to play this one properly. Take a look:

Strange guitar

Speaking of big guitars you’ve gotta check this one out!

The real Last Waltz

April 26, 2008 By: Chris Category: Bands, Entertainment, Humor, Recreation, Video 6 Comments →

I do not mean to make fun of one of the greatest concert DVD of all time by “The Band“, but I thought that it was only fitting!

These geriatric rockers must be a sight to see, but to them you might be a little fuzzy at best.

The Chorus Group called “The Young @ Heart” seem to be bringing their message to a MUCH OLDER audience then you and I. Humm, I wonder if they’re forecasting the future for us?

I cried laughing my ass off watching this one and I hope you do too!

Keep on Jammin’


May I present the Beatles Tree

I ran across this picture online and considering I’m a Beatles fan I just wanted to share this with you all.

Unfortunately, some idiot was not a big fan of Ringo Starr, and decided to take this into his/her own hands, or should I say pruners! And Ringo was a favorite of mine to boot.

We still love ya Ringo.

Brantford Blast wins Allen Cup

April 19, 2008 By: Chris Category: Entertainment, Home and Lifestyle, Recreation, Sports, The Neighborhood No Comments →

Just a little hats off to the boys from my home town of Brantford! They just won the Allen Cup!!! It is the 100th playing of the Cup!

And here is the latest news about the boys from Brantford!

I heard the other day from my dad, that the Bentley Generals were challenging the Brantford Blast to contest Allan Cup final, and that it was set be to begin and end at the Brantford Civic center, and I was just pumped! Just like every other Brantford citizen, I just couldn’t wait for the final outcome of the game. And boy we were not disappointed.

This game had everything that you wanted in a Allen cup Final. Brent Gretzky, the younger brother of Wayne, was more than likely playing his last professional game of his career. The captain of the Brantford Blast was in the same shoes. The end result was playing for bragging rights of winning the Allen cup.

Don Cherry of “CBC’s Coaches Corner, Hockey Night in Canada” had a lovely little ditty about the 2008 Allen Cup and it’s winner the Brantford Blast.

So let’s hear it for the boys from Brantford and the 2008 Allen cup championship winners!

Keep on Jammin’ Boys


Ladies and Gentlemen the band Three

April 16, 2008 By: Chris Category: Bands, Entertainment, Music Styles, Musicians, Playing Guitar, Video 4 Comments →

If I wanted to play a refreshing metal set live on stage, then some tunes from these guys would certainly be on it!

This band Three has it all from A - Z in my eyes.

Both guitarists compliment each others styles in ways that I have not heard of in a very long time. The chord progression’s crescendos, are so mind altering that it can lift you off your feet if you let it. The happened to me the first time I heard a few of them.

In this one video, in support of the bands latest album called “The End Is Begun”, they really shine. The tune itself is called “All that Remains”. Here the band shows off some Styx influenced harmonizing guitar solo’s! It’s at counter 02:16, so cue it up and you’ll see what I’m hearing.

The keyboardist is the unsung hero of the group. Just sitting in the background then he just adds a certain colour to climax a phrasing, beautiful!

I’m really drawn towards picking up this latest album just to cure my curiosity from a song they named “Dregs” (acoustic version). I bet it’s worth the price of the CD!

So tell me what you know of these guys class and get back to us all soon! Love ya Live!

Keep on Jammin’
