Lap-Steel Chops

There was a hint of a pseudo practice last night. Brent's getting his lap-steel chops together for "autumn, with it's leaves and perfect stars", and we played through a Hayden cover. The Goat show might hopefully happen in early March.

Happy reading week to all you University folk.

Just in case the Dudez' get signed and I lose my backing band. . .

Jammin' @ PCC&C

I started volunteering at Providence Continuing Care Centre today. I sang a few songs for the folks in the Day-Away program. Aside from forgetting the chords to a couple of Free Soup songs, it was quite fun. One resident was quite taken with the sythentic back on my ovation acoustic. Didn't have those in his day. Yessir.

Set List:

1. In the Shadow of the Sleeping Giant
2. After the Fire
3. Millionaire
4. City Lights
5. Faster than Most
6. The Newspaper Song
7. I'm Only Sleeping (Beatles)
8. Honeymoon at my Parents' House
9. Cathy's Song

I'm back there next Thursday - so if you're an alzhiemer patient in the Day-Away program, shuffle on over to the lounge at 2:00. 2:00. Lounge. I'm Jason. Jason. Yes.

No News. . .

A sore throat and a still-broken 8-track recorder have sent the Barn Flyz into a nice grinding halt. However, I was hoping that this blog'd be the sort of thing that'd be updated, so as to have NEW CONTENT all the time, and if people ever started reading it, they'd be rewarded with new posts every now and again. Uh. . . How are you? There are some plans in the works to play shows at the Sleepless Goat. The Goat people are VERY nice, especially if you want to play music there, so maybe some Sunday in the near future, there might be an acoustic set from the Flyz (provided somebody gets it in gear and delivers a demo. . .).


So, uh, Peja's pretty cute. . .

Debriefing. . .

Our kindest thanks to Parlormaid, welcome Karma, The High Fives, Clark Hall Pub, and everyone who came out to the show last night. We were scheduled to play 3rd, but welcome Karma kindly let us go 2nd (we were getting restless - far too much driving was done in pursuit of drum kits and bass amps -- thanks Nick!). The Barn Flyz were - Brent Ferris (lead guitar), Nick Kaars-Sijpesteijn (bass), and Adam Bell (drums); Jay was Jay (vocals, guitar).

Set List:
Blisters
Hiding (just in case)
Baptism
Tilt
15' Away
Anna Sui
Safe and Warm
Hello Again Beautiful
City Lights

Jay and The Barn Flyz will continue to practice, and with the arrival of some new 1/4" tape, ripped-off studios shall be humming again soon. What imaginary band doesn't need 7 albums?

Feb. 3rd Line-Up

I said "line-up", not "line-haul", as - sadly- our fellow Muskokian brothers will not be playing. Instead, Palourmaid and The High Fives will be kindly sharing the stage with us. Cover is reportedly only $2. Come early, as I believe we're opening.
