The ticket from the show

As I’ve said before to others, if it’s on, or was on the Internet at some point, it’s never going away.

In a post from 2010, I talked about how I dug up a newspaper article from the Timmins Daily Press the day before Stone’s Throw, my band at the time, opened  for April Wine at Amigo’s in Timmins, Ontario. Well, while seaching for some other things online, I stumbled upon these from the now inactive Stone’s Throw site (buried in the tombs of Tripod.com).

What I found were two photos taken from that day back in November 2001. One of them is the band with the late Jim Clench (April Wine’s bassist/vocalist at the time), and the other is a shot of the ticket from the show.

But wait, there’s more…

The first article that I included in the 2010 post came before our show back in November 2001. What has now magically resurfaced is a copy of the review of that show published on November 24, 2001, written by Robert Thompson of the Timmins Daily Press. Another cool little piece that, along with the others, finds itself a home here after years in the online abyss.

It was very cool for us back in the day to get a couple of write-ups in the paper, since we were in the first year of the band’s existence and had quite a few shows in Northern Ontario under our belts at the time we opened for April Wine. And, remember folks, there was no Facebook, Twitter or blogging back in 2001. People found out about bands through newspapers, among other things.

I don’t go hunting for these, but sometimes it’s amazing that these things pop up while searching for something else. I thought these things were long gone since the work I did on the Stone’s Throw site during my tenure with the band was heavily changed after I left. Somehow, Google just works magic from time to time.

Isn’t nostalgia fun? I can dig it.
