Robert Fisk Gets Beaten up! --- In His Own Words.

My Times

A legendary Canadian Entertainer, Musician, Human Being, Husband, Father and Grandfather passed away in Toronto in November. Billy O'Connor was a great man and the father of one of my oldest friends, the writer and recording artist, Gary O'Connor, known as Gary O.

Billy had great talent and passion for music and a compassion for Gary and all of his friends. He always had time for a talk and to share in a laugh. It was an honour to know Billy and I know those of us who he touched will never forget him.

If you are in Toronto this coming Wednesday, December 12, check out Christina at Say What with a rocking band that includes drummer Randy Cooke - Bass John Kanakis - keys Ron Lopata and guitarist Justin Abedin.
Katharine Stratus is also on the bill.

It's that time of the year again and Emily Richards has released a new CD of Christmas Songs.

Meanwhile I'm back finishing the James Albin Album as well as continuing to work with Jayson Haws of The Given and new artist Venice Cameron...

I think these Theatre Phones would make a lovely present for anyone wanting to be able to do a Surround Sound Mix who doesn't have the speakers or the tuned mixing studio to do it in...

I found this article; The Dangers of Premature Triumphalism quite interesting. The writer looks at how the rest of the world percieves the current state of hostilities in Afghanistan.

Here are some of the web sites that I visit to keep myself perpetually confused about our little planet:
