Wise Guys

man.... I get so envious when I hear a good band...

Meet the "Wise guys"



Rob Francis, who plays for the band Hawco
Brian Zinc, who plays in barnacle
and Jon Matheson...
Note for note.. these guys can play circles around me... But god bless em, they got me up to jam for 3 tunes... and that is always a ton of fun...


I kind of flubbed my way through 867-5309, but redeemed my self with Blow at High Dough, and Paint it Black...

the only one I really knew was the Hip, the other 2 I tried to learn tonight, between supper, and heading out the door.. didnt help that I learned the Tommy Tutone tune in the wrong key.. but oh well..

It was a light, but appreciative crowd.. I got to talking with Sound guy, Donny... another hell of a nice guy... he was there back when I played the Penny with Full Circle...

Anyway.. they are still there now.. but 6am comes fast.... opps... its how late???

All hyper now, want to practice, but should sleep..

Nite all...

Oh and to my big sister, THANK YOU for baby sitting this coming Saturday.. I got a hot date with my wife to check out Matt Anderson and Matt Minglewood!!!

should be a blast..
Oh... one last thing....


Live From PEGGYS COVE!

I can't say any more then that.. but just remember you saw it here first ok!! I may have more details in the future.. but for now, be content with that teaser..

Also.. I might be on BT in a week or two with Bernie fo Fuller Terrace (I played keys on his new CD) Roger Howse payed guitar on some of it also.. While Bernies got a great Cd there.. i was just as excited to be able to say that I played on a CD with Roger Howse... but with technology these days... I never actually met any of the other musicians (except bernie, and Dennis, the producer, and well, actually Brian Zinc also did some tracks, and I just met him tonight)

outside of Atlantic Canada, many might not know Roger Howse. but to me, it was just as cool as jamming with Eric Clapton (I haven't but im just comparing, putting Roger in that league.. He's that good..) So its looking like now not only can i say im on a CD with Roger, I might also get to jam with him LIVE on tv...

Will keep you posted when I learn more..

Cheers..

Reading through your blog and I had to make a comment. I thought it was so cute that you mentioned that you had a hot date with your wife. Good for you Rob for keeping the romance alive and having "dates" with your wife. I think that's very important when kids come into the picture. All the best.
