The Jazz Man. . .

Despite dueling schedules, I managed to finally jam with our new drummer Ian "Jazz Man" Montgomery. Ian teaches drum lessons at KSM, and knows his way around a paradiddle. Next Up - trying to wrangle the whole band for at least one practice before we start playing shows. Sometimes, it's a good idea. . . So, just how do the stops in City Lights go? And hiding (just in case) is called Rusty Voices now? What's up with that?

Hope from the Island

Jay's Happy Baby Records has a new home! We (and the baby) have moved out to Wolfe Island for the winter. We are renting a cottage during the "off-season", a la "The Shining".

More importantly, The Barn Flyz have a new drummer lined up. So MAYBE, MAYBE, MAYBE, we'll play some shows this fall. We're already booked to do a Student's Against Poverty Show in November or something, so with or without drums, they'll be some live Barn Flyz in Kingston.

Recording has begun on a sort of "greatest hits" deal, with the end result perhaps being pressed into a CD for purchase. For the first time, Jay's actually going to let other people into his studio, so, odds are, they'll be some much better sounding bass, guitar, and drums on this one. If anyone has any specific songs they think would sound nice re-recorded with 24 tracks of digital goodness, let us know. Take care.
