You're all right........progress report.
Every single one of you guys are right.....I'm never on here anymore!!!! I see some of the comments and the support from people I've never even met and it blows me away.....Thank you.
Last night our band did a warm-up show in downtown Toronto, the first show for our brand-new and solidified line-up with jay eldon. We feel we've got the right ingredients now, the right attitude, the right frame of mind. Every time we get together it's a party.
It probably didn't seem so awesome for Jay last night as the moment we plugged in our gear to play, his guitar amp flashed bright yellow as it began to fry (Thanks go to the band who was so kind to let us borrow their gear). This was followed by a broken beer bottle he was drinking from having a shard of glass missing, etc........everything that could go wrong last night did and I couldn't have been happier because in spite of everything we still pulled through.
Leslie sounded amazing last night as she keeps building her strength with her vocals and getting re-aquainted with the stage....she's got some serious pipes now. I figure a few more shows and she (along with her attitude) will be unstoppable.
Making ends meet is challenging when you're fighting for your life. To others it seems like an un attainable pipe dream....especially when you watch so many of your peers catapult into the position you have set out for yourself. I've been up the mountain and have fallen down plenty of times....now I feel like I'm half way back up and have very firm footing while my binoculars focus in on the summit.
I'm tired of watching the parade pass me by.......it's time to make our very own the way we see it.

Sunday, September 14, 2008: UPDATE!
Quite a bit has happened since we last posted on Myspace...so I'll give you a breakdown:
In august we did a handful of performances to showcase some of the new songs we're working on. We wanted to see what the fans responded to...kind of like a test run. At the last show we had a guest appearance from Leslie's bro Nick and it was a blast.
Since then we've regrouped and are we're focusing on writing to a much greater degree. We want our songs to really pop for you. There is so much we want to write about....
We'll be performing again Oct, 2nd so keep your eyes peeled for more updates and future news.
Y'all come back now ya hear!

Tuesday, September 16, 2008: Writing Blog from Nashville!
I'm sitting here in a studio on Nasville's "Music Row" just steps away from the very place that Elvis and Johnny Cash recorded many of their hits. Down the street stands a house on the corner where Garth Brooks recorded every one of his major hits....and oddly enough, it all looks like one of toronto's small residential areas.
We're working with a guy named Terry Sawchuck, who through a short discussion we realized he hails from my small, industrial hometown of Espanola in Northern Canada....almost a thousand miles away. Small world.
We talked about how my mom taught him in elementary school and laughed about her notorious past teaching methods. Both Terry and Leslie then retreat to writers room 4 in the studio as they pound out ideas and melodies for a new song that sounds like they're digging up some dark anthem no one has discovered yet.
There is a certain buzz in the room as there are a few more rooms occupied by other country artists and singer/songwriters. Everyone in passing is very welcoming and very Southern....I feel very fortunate to be in my shoes right now being a part of this all the while remembering where it is this all came from.
