Dog Days

Finally an update...

September...yuch. Well, it's not that bad, just busy.

Since I last blogged, school has started smoothly. About 70 grade 12 University-hopeful students and 20 'sweathogs' grace my door daily. The funk on hot days has been complained about as being an invisible presence of palpable odour on a few occassions (though I did lecture about hygene on day one). I won't go into one of my usual education rants...yet...

Musically, Kevin and I sweat many proverbial body parts off at the Fox & Fiddle. I'm still not sure if the AC was broken or the owner too cheap to run it. It was still packed with sweaty, dancing students - and again, not a nice smell. Played for some lovely farmers in Woodstock during the last week with the Alysha Brooke band. My buddies in Settlers Creek played the Stampede Corral around the corner, so I caught a bit of their show last week, too. Molly Bloom's Waterloo had a good crowd on Friday and the Acton Fall Fair was typical on Sunday - the power went off a few times in their brand new arena - go figure. Acton.

I just signed on to do some studio and live work with local Kitchener celeb and multi-Juno nominee Charity Brown, so being busy will continue unabated. I'm perhaps too busy now, but couldn't turn this one down.

Some time for pleasant company and socializing, but not enough....ever enough?

That's the word from the trenches. Time to go rehearse.
