long time no post!

we have a baby in the house now, which (as anyone with one knows) CHANGES EVERYTHING. it's wonderful though.

July has been busy, lots of music. This week's gigs include playing @ TDT, teaching @ MHSB and working with my Trio. Only, my Trio is not "the" Trio this week.

Tonight, Mike Manny subs for Eric Boucher (who is away this week doing a theatre gig...). and tomorrow the Trio starts a new house gig, Thursday nights at another Canyon Creek location, in Burlington. Neither Mike Pelletier nor Eric are around tomorrow, so it's a one-time-only, never-before-seen trio of myself, Michael Occhipinti, and Kevin Cooke on 6-string bass. It should be fun.

What else? Looks like Hot Buttered Soul will do some dates in August at one of our usual hits, Joe Dog's in Burlington; and the Wednesday Canyon Creek may do some Saturdays with HBS as well.

Stay tuned!

It's starting to look like a busy July, great! I've just been offered a whole bunch of teaching gigs at the School of Toronto Dance Theatre, plus some dance-class accompaniment there too. So, there's my days (along with teaching the kiddies every Tuesday all summer at Martha Hicks School of Ballet), and the Trio and a few other things at night.

Also, a last-minute addition: I'm playing with Akim Triebsch (his duo gigs are under the name Traveller) at the Up+Down on Roncesvalles Ave, in Toronto on Friday night from 9:30-1:30... I used to play with Akim alot, then I gave the gig to a great drummer, Chris Stott. Anyway, I'm now the "fill-in" guy for this job, and that suist me fine. So, come see my fills on Friday. :)
