FALLING INTO THE NEW YEAR

Burnt out. Back from 4 days of travel, close calls, drinking 150 proof rum, little sleep, missed Go Trains, 2 hour detours, 3 snow storms… I’ve had enough.

Played in Davenport, Iowa on New Year’s eve. Exhausting and the trip back was almost as intense as my trip there. This left me scrambling to get to St. Catherines on Saturday to play a solo set (which I stumbled through on 3 hours of sleep) which I got to because a good friend lent me their car. When I missed the last Go Train from Aldershot to Toronto (it was pulling out when I reached the parking lot) I almost cried.

I’m home now and enjoying the after-effects of eating   a plate full of root vegetables.

Found this clip of Microbunny playing at the CBC. Sam Cino on drums, Al Okada on a bunch of things, Tamara Williamson on the vocals and repeater, yours truly on upright bass – somewhat uncomfortable and looking like I’m going to throw the thing across the sound stage.
