Jay and the Barn Flyz: April 2008

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Alright, so this video is from a show I played with Kyra and Tully back in. . . The fall? I think. . . The video was shot by the very cool Lenny Epstein. The song is also featured on the Skeleton Park Music Festival benefit CD (though, on the cd I'm playing the drums and Paul Clifford is rocking the bass). The show was at the Artel, a gallery and artist space thing where awesome people make awesome stuff.

Mash-Up

The Blue Crush went 1-1 in our first day of playoff rec league basketball. We lost the first game by about 1,000,000 to the 1st place team, and then won our 2nd game by about 1,000,000 against the last place team. (actual margins of victory were probably more like 10) We play some of my old teammates next week for 3rd place, the loser of that game will take on our old friends 5th place in a battle for 4th.

Hey this is kind of cool --- I was trying to get a show put together for early June, but I couldn't get the details worked out. At the same time, at the music school, Tim and I were trying to figure out what to do about the spring recital (I'm away for the originally intended date) -- so, what I think is going to happen, is that we're going to do a show in two halves. The first half will feature my students and myself playing some cover tunes to show off all the hard work they've done over the past year, and the 2nd half will be a Jay and the Barn Flyz show of to-be-determined scale. It will be a giant mash-up of my life. . . Maybe some basketball will break out?

Take care,

Jay.

P.S. Oh, yeah, the rumours are true; for those who enjoy "Chatting with Peja", we're going to wrap up the season at Episode 12, so there are 2 more to go. We've had a great time making the show, and I think it's really cool that so many people have seen it.
