Guitar Licks and Tips

I want to give my city, Toronto, the proverbial pat on the back for it achievements in the past and to many more in the future. As for you Dave. W., I don’t mind zigging and zagging while crossing the streets! The name of the post is like that song that Frank Zappa did when the US was celebrating it’s 200 years as a country in 1976?

Toronto really is a great place to live and grow up in. One of the best things this city has going for it is the mind boggling amount to different ethnic restaurants that are at your finger tips here! Seriously, Google it!

We have a great sports enthusiast here. There is one team that probably comes to mind when you think of Toronto and it’s the Leafs. I use to like them, but they are now considered to be like the little slow kid that was in one of your elementary class’s and they MADE YOU cheer him on! They are kinda like that I’m sorry, that comment was in bad taste. That child should not be lumped in with the Leafs, for that I am sorry.

Most cities have their pro’s and con’s and Toronto is no exception. If you’ve never been here before come on up, down or over to my neck of the woods and see what I mean! And don’t listen to Dave in Hamilton or where ever he hangs his hat!

Keep on Jammin’ Toronto

If you happen to be living in or around the Etobicoke area, which is west of downtown Toronto, and want to see one of the best prog. rock bands out there, then check out Counterpoint at Timothy’s Pub.

The band is absolutely amazing! As I’ve told you countless times in the past, these guys are the real thing. They have everything going for them live and their past studio work was nothing less then breathtaking.

I wish that I could attend but I feel that I should stay home and rest before heading back to work this coming Tuesday. So go out there and support the band and the economy!

I wish them all the best in the future!

Keep on Jammin’

If you are a real dedicated music love and you crave a more personal experience with your favorite band, then maybe you should check out the Ships and Dips music cruise. The company that runs this ultimate music adventure is called Sixthman Cruises. Check out the bands of the past and upcoming ship’s list to see what I mean.

Basically, the format is quite simple. The company wishes to provide the die hard music lover a chance to have a more intimate, musical adventure with their favorite band. They plop you on a boat, send you off somewhere, watch the bands around the pool or maybe you might even get the opportunity to stagger into them at the bar, nice! This type of a boat cruise may finally push this landlubber’s butt off the guitar/computer chair and directly into the great blue sea, ha!

Some of the groups in this years line up are the Bare Naked Ladies, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett (if your into him) and the best in my eyes is John Mayer! John Mayer was seen and photographed doing his version of the great Borat, in his own personal neon-green mankini!

Now this is the kind of trip that sounds like it would be a blast to anyone to witness! Just imagine you, your favorite band and a few other lucky son’s of gun’s, chillin’ out by the pool in a much more intimate environment then a large impersonal hall, listening to them jam and taking a few pics for the just because you can!

The ship is obviously trying to give you a more unique and personal setting then what is offered at any other venue. A hall might be too big, the acoustics might be pathetic and at the end of the show, it may not be worth your money. In today’s economic world, some of us are not receiving that personal concert connection that we are all craving for, but here at least it seems that somebody is picking up on that bad vibe.

I’ve never been on a cruise before and that’s fine with me. My family and buddies keep screaming at me about all the neat amenities that these floating booze cans have to offer for decades now. Also in the past I’ve been bombarded with ads for cruises in my in-box but honestly, this kind of trip does not grab my attention in the least.

The one thing that made a world of difference to me about this format that you can see on this site is that they have a on-line forum of people talking about the cruise and what they encountered on it. And I liked what I read.

Keep on Jammin’
