Tuesdays are my “writing days” but as hard as I try I am easily distracted (squirrel!!). Today is apparently no different. As I complete my morning troll through FB, I discover all sorts of interesting (and not so interesting, in fact quite wasteful) trivia….but every once in awhile, a gem emerges….like this. Haunting yet peaceful, I’m so glad my friend Donna shared one of these videos on FB.

I have so much to write about I don’t know where to begin. Clubs, pubs, bars and halls, from one end of the city to the other. Late nights, early mornings, a thousand pictures, private functions, VIP soirees, opening night galas and closing festivities. It’s been a whirlwind of activity and will be impossible to cover in a single column. Lots of sharing to do….

IT’S INDIE WEEK!!!!

Several weeks ago I found out Maria Muldaur was performing at the venerable Hugh’s Room located in Toronto’s west end. I contacted Jane Harbury to see if it was possible to attend and photograph Maria (somehow I just can’t refer to her as Muldaur). It was a Richard Flohil event and through him I received permission. (Thank you Jane and Richard).

JAIMIE VERNON – November DISCoveries

Posted in Opinion with tags "Motor" Mike Anderson, Arson, Barnes & Zacharin, Canadian Music, DBAWIS, Don't Believe a Word I Say, Elizabeth Racz, Gerry Young, independent music, Jaimie Vernon, Lighthouse, Maestro Fresh Wes, Monsters of Lite Rock, music, Peter Bennett, Picture The Ocean, Richard Flohil, Rick Gunn, Skip Prokop, The Secrets, The Trews, The Viletones, Wakin' Up Johnny on November 24, 2012 by segarini

Now that the institutional insanity of Black Friday has passed and everyone was thankful to get a discount on a Made in China television using a year’s worth of minimum wage, might I suggest some inexpensive independent music to give to everyone else as Xmas gifts? And you don’t have to stand in line or need a shotgun to do it.
