A great influence, on many of us, has passed away. Nash the Slash is no more!

Long Live Nash the Slash!

From the Worth’s basement on Bayview avenue listening to Clear rehearse, to his time with the Canadian band FM, with my former bandmate, Cameron Hawkins, we crossed many paths.
Nash the Slash was a master musician and innovator. A true rebel without a cause. I’m not sure he could be born today… R.I.P. Jeff Plewman.

This was one of the great rock tracks of my youth. I am pretty sure they played at my junior hight school, and being in the front row, I was blown away by the sound of their instruments. It was spectacular.

The 7th Annual Producers & Engineers Wing Grammy celebration at the Village Studios honoring Neil Young was a special night.

I shot this short clip of the introductory part of Neil’s speech to show the atmosphere in the ballroom. It was fantastic!

And then Dave Mathews came out and played a couple of Neil’s songs.

And here is one of the traditional photos many of us take at these events.
