Ladies and gentlemen, may I proudly introduce you to the GUITAR MOTORCYCLE! I just wonder how you TUNE this engine? Ha, Ha! With one hell of a big tuning fork!
This puppy must be rated in miles to the album! Ok, that one was really bad I know! The bike gives a new meaning to rolling down the highway!
Keep on Jammin’
I just rec’d an e-mail from my college days and oh did it bring back some crazy memories! Ernie was in this make-you-feel-good band called Big Kahuna, he was the drummer and the brains behind this venture.
They basically played a surf, garage, Stones and Rocky Horror Picture Show(complete with vintage costumes on stage) style of music. They played in and around the Toronto area to more then enthusiastic crowds! One time my brother-in-law/ex-roommate were at one of their shows near Bloor and Spadina in Toronto and as they were taking the stage and getting ready for their set, we stood up on our chairs and clanged our beer bottles the opening beat to the Rolling Stones Honky Tonk Woman. The crowd soon joined in and the boys just started playing the song! What an evening it was!
During those years I took a fancy to the video camera. I soon started to video tape the band’s shows and it turned out great! I later gave them the originals and that was it. Years later we all wondered off and lost touch. Ernie moved to Vancouver BC and he found this site and wrote to me. He said that he had copies of everything I taped and they are on their way to me as we speak!
When I get my little hands on them I’m post them on this site and I’ll let you judge the band on their merits … and their costumes too!
Keep on jammin’
Happy Canada to all of my loyal readers of both this blog and Guitar licks, we’re 141 years young!
Here in Canada we celebrate the 141st anniversary of our Confederation. We also mark and celebrate the founding of the Canadian state 400 years ago; from Champlain to today.
I got up today a little later then normal and had to take our dog Midnight out and heard what sounded like a drum band marching down the street. I soon realized that it was the East York Canada Day Parade. It’s one of those events that happen in your neighbourhood (this is how we spell it in Canada), that you’ve always wanted to go but you either forgot or didn’t have time for. Not knowing how long it would last, I said why not and walked at a brisk pace towards the parade.
By the time we got there the damn thing was over and the crowd was walking towards us! Boy was I a little bit pissed, but there is always next year!
Keep on Jammin’ Canada!
