What’s New?

Hello Vancouver May 16th, 2012 We have convened for The Owner Operator Tour featuring Carolyn Mark, Jack Grace, Terri Upton and yours truly. A brief visit to Victoria and the Hooteanny behind us now we made our way to sunny Vancouver (really actually sunny) for rehearsals and business fun before kicking off the tour at the fabulous Biltmore. It will also be the debut of my new suit! Made by Waterloo Wendy the suitmaker to the stars. Pictures to come soon! Back to Top New York City! April 30th, 2012 Oh New York, how we cannot stay away from you for long. My lonely drive through upstate was highlighted by wet snow and frantic text messages concerning a faulty master cd at the manufacturing facility. Not much I could do from the road though so I stuck it out to Bearsville where I picked up Jack Grace and ripped it down to the city. We went straight to Patsys pizza up in Harlem area. Apparently that is where pizza was invented and it sure is good. There was a huge table of huge guys waiting. All pals from high school and very friendly. Boisterous and New Yorkers full stop. I am six foot one, 165 lbs and looked like a ten year old compared to these giant, ex-football offensive lineman. They make em big down in America. I am doing four shows down here. A great warm up at Cafe Steinhof that included a delicious Austrian meal and some fine beer. The band this run includes Bruce Martin on drums and accordion, Megan Palmer on fiddle and vocals and new comer Larry Cook on double bass. Great singing! We had it all.going on the next night at the Rodeo Bar as well. It must have been close to our 20th gig there over 11 years. Always a good crowd and good time although a segment of my loyal Canadian following was absent due to the crushing defeat of the Ottawa Senators by the NY Rangers that night. It is spring in New York but still cool. Megan and I wandered through Prospect Park and found our way to bass man Benny cha chas place to view their fresh baby boy. Pretty cute! Lots of breeders in Park Slope and as it is Saturday today the streets are full of strollers and the park is loaded with baseball games and frolicking folks. Hmmm, a guy just sat down near me and stripped down to his gitch for some sunning. Must be european, they do that there. Maybe I will wander over to the ball game... Last night we rocked the Brooklyn Rod & Gun Club. A group of hipsters and artists filled out the funky room and we wowed them with our oh so sophisticated sounds. Williamsburg is definitely a groovy area. Last show is there tonight with Steak, Jack Graces jam band from the 90s. Then I can return home to my loved ones and spring projects and a good haircut. Back to Top and it is April 26th, 2012 Five banks — JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Bank of America Corp. (BAC), Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo & Co., and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. — held $8.5 trillion in assets at the end of 2011, equal to 56 percent of the U.S. economy, according to central bankers at the Federal Reserve Back to Top News Archive
