If You Like Ukulele Lady, Ukulele Lady Like You...
16 August 2010
A winking mermaid plays the ukulele with the funny saying: Sweet Ukulele. A sunny t-shirt design for uke players and everyone else who enjoys these small, yet fantastic, stringed musical instruments!
With summer’s taking a change towards the cold and wet it was nice to imaging a beach with palm trees, fancy umbrella coated cocktails with an attractive ukulele lady…
Homemade Jamz' Blues Band Ottawa Bluesfest 2009
3 August 2010
Their guitars are wild, they groove and it's not that often that I really enjoy an electric guitar blues solo. Hope you do to!

The Bluegrass festival at La Roche s/Foron
2 August 2010
The Bluegrass festival at La Roche s/Foron is pretty cool, it’s in the center of this small town that is situated not too far south of Geneva (a beautiful area just north of the French alps), is free, it lasts four days and if the groups on stage aren’t enough for you, many of the bands can be found playing in the streets or while sitting around a table at a local café. This year the weather was sunny and warm, perfect for hanging out and getting fat on bluegrass music…

Not much info about these guy besides that it’s a Grateful Dead tune… Great washboard playing though!
A Very Windy Evening Of Blues
16 July 2010
It’s been a while since we’ve all played together so it was nice to have what was supposed to be a relaxed informal outdoor lake side café gig to get things going again at the King Du Lac. And it was pretty much that if you remove “relaxed” from the list since there was a storm wind blowing Wednesday evening that threatened gobs of rain which didn’t come – fortunately – but which did make it very hard to set up the sound an actually hear what we were playing. Before you knew it the music was blown away over the waters never to return leaving me, for one, struggling to hear the little that was left. I’ve probably gotten too used to playing in a cellar in which my little drum set is far to loud too; fireworks! Outdoors it’s like a cheap little firecracker, pthiip…, did you hear something? Not sure, can you turn up the guitar?
And then the wind would change and I’d only here the bass or the harmonica, just bizarre… and not the best to all be together now…
The Magnificent Vuvuzela!

Now that the world cup is over, it’s time to get back to something a bit (excuse me) more serious…
Cutthroat Shamrock / Muddy Roots Festival 2010
12 July 2010
The occasional search for bands with washboard players sometimes brings forth the coolest bands, and although I couldn’t find a video in which Johnny Hyena (credited for congas, bongos and washboard) is actually playing a washboard I’m posting this one anyway! Bluegrass meets punk with a head of celtic, or was it the other way around? No matter! These guy rock!
CRUDE GREED
10 July 2010
Just a happy reminder, least we forget, that crude oil continues to “leak” into the Gulf of Mexico at a speed that in fact, it’s pretty hard for the human mind to grasp. Think about the whys of this disaster when you use your car to go to the corner store…
