Thanks to the Internet, nothing ever dies or goes away.  It may get lost in the either, but from time to time, something gets fished out.

Oddly enough while looking up some old things in Google, I stumbled upon this newspaper article by John Emms.  But, not just any newspaper article… This piece is about a band I played with back in 2001 called Stone’s Throw and it appeared in the Timmins Daily Press the day before we had the pleasure of opening for April Wine at Amigos in Timmins, ON.

Stone’s Throw was a band that started out during my high school days with drummer Paul Duchesne and singer Chris Rivet; Barry and Dave Promane joined the fold on bass and guitar respectively in 2000 when I met them at Carleton University.  Thanks to Barry’s connections in the Northern Ontario bar scene, this band gave me my first real taste of life on the road with a band.  They were also some of the best times I’ve had as a musician.
