May 12 re-cap

Well if a picture tells a thousand words then a video must do it to the power of 3... or something like that.

this is what happened:



extra thanks to Smash for the video... pre-thanks to smash for making it happen.

It was very special to have some of the songs i have written and or co-written over the years be celebrated in a class operation like what happened on this night.  Another highlight of the evening was to see King Dinosaur walk into the club in his Hab's sweater and Jean jacket... you see Montreal had just finished off Pittsburg in 7 games... a fate that few had predicted.  To see a hard core Hockey fan in a glaze of glory is always a treat... big smiles and casually throwing off sayings like "Yea, i though i might come down and raise a few toasts".

The grand fiasco of the evening occurred when i went to put the drum kit away and i tripped on the stairs and fell forward to be stopped only by the drum hardware on my groin.  It was an insane blow which put me on another planet and to be truthful half of my groin as of this writing is a deep purple.  I'm almost tempted to post a picture... for pure scientific value of course, but i have learned, slowly, over time that nobody wants to see my groin.
OK

this week (May 19) we have the fantastic drummer Steve (from the LFM horn orchestra) and his buddy Shine on digeridoo.  Also we have a wonderful folk singer  Sara Ciantar , and then all of those suckers will get sucked into the world of Super Robertson as i force them to take part in a journey though my songbook.
