Gig at St James Hall

I've been invited to play a benefit show at St. James Hall in Vancouver on March 8th. The band is killer and rehearsals have been a ton of fun. The group is led by Richard Lowy, and I'll be playing bass with:

• Saffron Henderson and Camille Henderson - Voice
• Eric Reed - Lead Guitar
• Martin Fisk - Percussion
• and Stan Wardle - Harmonica

Stratocaster Pickup Height

I've always wondered about this. In the past I've simply raised the pickups until they sounded right to my ear. It turns out there's a bit of a method to it.

Space 1999

Originally aired in 1975, Space 1999 was one of my favourite TV shows when I was a kid. I have no idea what the appeal was for me. The silly story lines, the horrible method acting, the cheesy soundtrack and effects. One thing is certain: Those Eagle ships were cool AF!

What did the crew eat up there anyway? I don't think there are any scenes showing anyone ingesting anything.

I was a bit disappointed (and relieved) as 1999 came and went without the slightest hint of lunar natural disaster. Why the heck would anyone want to bury nuclear waste from earth on the moon anyway? It would cost a lot less to just aim it at the sun, wouldn't it? No Moonbase Alpha required.

I've found the entire series uploaded to YouTube, and I'm binge watching all of the episodes until they get taken down and removed. 

Demo

Overdue

It's overdue
Like an old library book that's been sitting quietly
In a musty, dusty attic
And all the fertilizer in the barn
Won't make it grow any faster
It is happening at its own pace
But it's overdue
