Beyond Saturn’s Window

It was the 1980’s something or other, and we had a little reunion on Bayview avenue in Toronto of our old 70’s band. Beyond for short.

As they say in the business.
This one was written and recorded the day before Get a Dog, the version that ended up on the black n white album
It’s available for your listening pleasure on my fan page at Tunetrack
Not for Family Awesome ringtone…

Somehow my crude a cappella serenade has turned into a Ringtone for the iPhone. You can’t find it on iTunes. Just on your iPhone. I wonder why it isn’t everywhere?
Still, it’s rude. So, if you are not over the age of consent in your jurisdiction, then please do not enjoy the ringtone here.
There is also a crude website link that will take you to a short version with words, but don’t go there either if you are under the voting age in your area. The full version of Awesome is available on the black n white album, on iTunes, and most everywhere else (I hope).

I’m becoming addicted to Steak and Chips at Monsieur Marcel, where I joined Nick Wood for lunch last week. Nick came to town from Tokyo to work on songs for his upcoming solo album.

We went to Valley Glen to record three new drum tracks with Randy Cooke.

Buttonville Airport Meets Progress
December 6th, 2010 § 1 comment § permalink
A part of me will always be in Buttonville, even if they don’t remember we were there from 1979 to 1985. The latest news is about the IMMINENT DEMISE of the Buttonville Airport.
No more bacon & eggs on a Sunday morning, watching the planes come and go. Those were the days!
My house, the Village Forge, and ESP Studios, looked like this in the early 80’s:
This is what it looks like today. Now you can buy gaz-o-line instead of an old chair or a hit record:
The buildings went across the street and became a school:
The information about the building’s history is wrong on the school website. Mindtech? I’ll have to let them know.
