Davey has undertaken the task of writing and recording a song a day for an entire year.  Definitely no small feat, to say the least!

The host, Amanda Pfeffer, played two of his songs during the interview and, I must say, I dug ‘em!  You can hear both tunes, “The Ballad of Ol’ Daniel Collins” and “The Good Shepherd” (really good song!), and others on his site at http://malenursesongs.tumblr.com/

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.

You can click on the photo to read the piece, which appeared in the Thursday, November 22, 2001 edition of newspaper.

We performed a lot of material that we normally do with The Shatners, as well as three or four new songs that we performed for the first time tonight (no rehearsals on those.  Bah, who needs rehearsals anyway?) There was also a great crowd in the bar area where we played.

Big thanks to Leslie and the rest of the staff at the BP in Orleans for their hospitality and the invitation to perform!

PS Nathan’s band Slyde is doing another run of gigs in Ontario, Quebec and Eastern Canada at the end of August.  Visit their MySpace page for dates and do check ‘em out if you can!

For anyone interested in checking us out, we’ll be performing at the Boston Pizza at 3884 Innes Road in Orleans.  We’ll be performing three sets of music between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. as part of their Patio Party.  According to the sign, there will be Molson Girls, Sampling and Prizes!

For those of you wishing to know a bit about me, the Biography is a good place to start.  You can also keep track of where I’m playing next by visiting the Shows page.

I do have several more dates with The Shatners this year (and hopefully the run will continue in 2011). If you wish to keep up-to-date, do subscribe to the mailing list (the subscription box is on the right) and never miss a thing!
