Musical Houses. . .

My father has a new website called www.visionsbypaul.ca - he's an awesome photographer, framer, graphic design guy. 90% of the Jay and the B-Flyz artwork has been printed by him. Aside from the link, I mention visions because many different ones are emerging. Right now there really isn't anything resembling a band going on, despite the new record and a whole wack of demos coming out of the studio. Basically the situation is that I love rock music, but I also love being able to create and perform without any of the politics of being in a band. Obviously, Jay and the Barn Flyz are mostly a studio band, and this is probably because it's the only area where I can work without worry about other people schedules. Drum-machines and bass samples on stage? I don't know. I really like folk music and playing and singing with an acoustic guitar - but it's just not the same thing as rocking out with a few thousand watts of raw energy at your disposal. The free soup record was supposed to be an acoustic album that I could perform solo, but then I started playing the songs with the Dudez and we rocked them up to 11 and it was hard to still hear them as quiet numbers. There are always soft, understated songs on our records, but a whole quiet album? Maybe the "real record" that's been in the works since long before I met the Flyz will be a greatest hits acoustic record. Any thoughts?

P.S. the above picture is the new home of the Flyz, H.B. records, the Wolfe Island School of Music, and Peja, Sienna, and Jay.
