Weighing Me Down...

After months of listening on Bandcamp, I finally purchased Lydia Hol's album "Boats". I have no idea why I waited so long to do so. It is absolutely brilliant! Driving home this evening from a delightful downtown gig with the amazingly talented James Adkins, I found myself singing the tune below at the top of my lungs. Lydia, I do hope to meet you upon my arrival to Vancouver in August. I think we should be friends. Indeed, I do.

Go ahead and hit the play button. You know you want to...

The weekend is almost here. Enjoy!

My Dog Has Fleas...

My new favorite 1919 guitar salesman James Adkins sent me the photo above this afternoon along with a note that read, "my dog has fleas." This is the standard phrase to sing while tuning the instrument. It's a ukulele thing. I think it'll catch on.

A new friend of mine introduced me to yet another great Canadian band this evening. Ohbijou, I'm not sure how to pronounce your name, but I am digging your music.

Happy birthday, Kyle. Enjoy!

Afrobeat Tuesday...

I've been dancing around in my kitchen to the song below for a good portion of today. Fela Kuti, I'm happy to have been introduced to your tunes.

Happy Tuesday. Enjoy!

Hello, Monday...

I went to this evening's Wahoos game with my folks and an old friend of mine. It was the perfect way to end a productive Monday. - I get a kick out of the kid in the photo above. Nothing beats a good photo-bomb.

I was reminded just a bit ago of the song below. Oh, Johnny Cash. I just know Dad is going to love this one. 

The weekend will be here before we know it. Enjoy!

Hello, Weekend...

Oh how thankful I am for the amazing family and friends I am surrounded by. We made it to the weekend! Let's celebrate!

I think Paul Simon can start things off right. Indeed, he's an excellent start!

Happy Friday. Enjoy!
