Flightdeck’s Flying Simulators

Toys for big boys were in abundance when we recently visited Flightdeck in Newmarket.
John Jones at the helm of the Flightdeck 747 cockpit simulator
These machines are used in conjunction with Computer Flight simulator software to train pilots and to enhance the homes of wealthly enthusiasts around the globe. I must admit, I never thought that people would want the cockpit of a 747 in their living room, but apparently they do!
John, Peter and Sam and the gigantic 777 cockpit!
The big machines are $150,000 and up, but Flightdeck also make the beautiful Jetmax, at $15,000, that I would definitely have in my house!

Holding on to Alan Frew
February 13th, 2015 § Comments Off on Holding on to Alan Frew § permalink
With a wink and a nod, no doubt to escape the winter storms in the East, Alan Frew paid a visit to sunny California.
Of course, it was also Grammy week, and Alan was here in Los Angeles connecting with Canadians and other aliens of extraordinary ability for a bit of musical mash.
It’s been more than 20 years since we recorded his fine solo album HOLD ON !
So we started writing a new song, which ain’t half bad…
As you know, Alan sings the newest track for the Meninos Do Morumbi and Friends album project. Stay tuned!

Nash the Slash – R.I.P.
May 21st, 2014 § Comments Off on Nash the Slash – R.I.P. § permalink
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.
