Josh put together this little graphic, which proudly displays our new band name CEDAR SPEEDER, which you will remember because it rhymes. For the forseeable future, I will continue to post band info here, because it's really easy.

Jonny?!?!?!
Alright, so down there on an old post, a Mr. Jon Hayes commented.
Now.
Now.
He has been missing for a couple of years. He introduced Sienna and I, then wondered off into the wilderness to bag out some bare-roots in a clearing of ferns. At the end of the day, we all searched and searched, but finally gave up. Very little has been heard since.
But, apparently, he reads this blog - or at least read it once. . . So, we can only hope that perhaps he sees this post and drops us a line at jayandthebarnflyz@hotmail.com and tells us what's up with him.
Jonny -- where are you?

A Word from the Flyz. . .
Some jams, some members, some showing up. I missed a practice this monday, and this was the recap I got from the guys:
Josh: "Jam was good on monday, i learned alot about myself as a musician and a person. There was a point where angels took over my body and did the playing for me while i stood back in another sort of dimension and watched myself rock out. But crazy enough i look over and alex is experiencing this out of body rocking. It was beautiful times but the out of body experience might have been the acid alex slipped in my drink."
Alex: "It was deep. I wept."
So, suffice it to say, the music is in good hands. A name change is being contemplated, as this project is much more a combination of efforts rather than a single "Jay" leading his "Barn Flyz". Now, I'm the one who brought it up, but unless someone knocks me out of the park with an idea (or, you know, someone is even mildly interested in one of my ideas), perhaps we will simply remain "the barn flyz" -- an anti-red-rider name evolution.
Saw my old friends The Radical Dudez at the park tonight, rockin' it out with a far too short set. They sound pretty polished, and new drummer Steve has some pipes and some sweet lead guitar chops -- so operation "hate the guy who replaced me" continues to be a dismal failure. I also like the new Nick, or is it the old Andy? Is there a difference?
Happy Birthday Brent. Good luck with the pills.
So, that's probably about 15 inside references that no one will ever read, so I think I'll call it a night.
All the best,
Jay.

Teasing Black Dog. . .
I spent the better part of 7 hours yesterday driving the 401 and the 400 highways while scanning around the FM dial looking for the rock.
Note To Station Managers: If you play the "hey hey mama with the way you move, gonna make you sweat gonna make you groove" part, you have to play the whole song. I don't care if it's an ad for the station. I don't care if you have to start it again after the ad. But if you play the vocal hook, you sure as hell better play the rest.
YOU SIMPLY CANNOT TEASE BLACK DOG.
To do so is to violate every rule of listener expectation. 'Cause when you're all set to groove to Zepplin, Midnight Oil just ain't gonna cut it.
Goddamn it.
