In all honesty this was the most fun I have ever had playing music last summer at the Kariton Art Gallery in Abbotsford summer 2025. It was a place my late spouse and I, with my good lil brother Jason, had played before... the memories were still there lingering in the air... but it was a promise I made that I would continue writing and performing my songs... a living testament if you will... my music started in 1979 and its sputtered due to hard times, lack of finances and also the persistent inconsistencies of stage fright, insecurities... but I told myself "fuck it all and just be who you are"... she used to say that every day... this from decades of dealing with former brain injuries and near death illness... only to have survived to bring out old songs with a fresh take... a retreaval, a re-cognition and a recreation of self through music... I even began my journey of attempting to play lead guitar... something I had only left for former fellow band mates whom were extremely proficient in that skill of kinesthetic memory... for I was railed against decades before for not remembering what I had just played in my short time in Hollywood '93... that although I could make things up, I could never duplicate what I had just played... to the absolute frustration of the record producer... so my foray into the music scene was short lived I thought... but I kept on... not imagining anything else but to riff and write out musical sketches... this gig was the "coming of age" as they say... even for a senior like myself... I am deeply inspired to have been accepted by band mates, friends and those that enjoyed this performance... it is seminal now... if you are interested there is still a lot of mileage and track left in this soul to share what Creator lets me "bleed out" from the heart... its all about the love... rock n roll to you my loves
