Hi Folks here`s hoping this year will be a great year for every one. man I just realized how long I`ve been performing in the Ottawa area...pretty long time. Things come and things go and blah blah blah blah. to all the people and friends (Dan & Cathy mainly) who have supported me for all these years (Dan & Cathy mainly,

Denis for my web page Paul for percussion, Wayne for lots of things, Al for harmonica Murray for playing, Dave for been a friend ) thank you so much, to the musicians that took the time to share the stage with me many more thanks and to all the clubs and their regular that put up with me thanks you. House gig`s are always hard and awkward to say goodbye to but that`s the nature of the biz.

For the last 5 or 6 years I`ve been playing every Thursday at Tucson`s, inviting different musicians(friends) to play with me, some joined me (thanks you) some said they would and others...... I wanted to thank the staff and management at Tucson`s Jim thank you for the countless drinks and the staff for the many many burgers and diet coke.

To say that I`ve had support from some groups ( you know who you are) that represent the style of music I played at Tucson`s for so many years speaks volume, hey I`m cool with that not really I do have some very sour grapes to chew, but that`s just me, and that who I`ll always be no matter the cost. so where do I go from here.....don`t matter but I plan to have fun.

peace out al
