So
it looks like I’ll probably be blogging about once a month. A little
easier to handle than my old blog of once a week. Believe me, it’s not
that I don’t have a lot to say or that I am out of touch with what goes
on in our region or around the world. The biggest reason for the fewer
blogs is time. With the bigger readership I had before there was a lot
of good comments and conversations that came out of the subjects I
covered, but it seriously got to be a time eater. Even so, I greatly
appreciated and enjoyed expressing myself, as well as the dialogue and
feedback from others. Now my focus is on the music and it’s vehicle,
BoodAbooM.Blaise and I have been busy boys both preparing for the upcoming recording sessions and taking advantage of opportunity to reach out to friends via a video webcast. Meagan Duvauld conducted the interview which included videos, live performances as well as interactive discussion with friends and fans. It was fun and we thank Allen Felker of Loud and Alive TV here on Vancouver Island.
I put in a short performance at a benefit for Cathy Davis a local musician and friend of mine. Her daughter had taken gravely ill and the burden of expense for Cathy was more than she could handle financially. Our local Nanaimo community of musicians and merchants got together and raised money by means of auctioning off goods and services. There were some terrific performances by bands such as Terrazetto amongst others. Jan Stephens, Sharon Franzen and Upright Earl deserve big kudos for their efforts at this event. It’s good to give back and musicians have a platform to that from. As it stands Cathy’s daughter has improved of late and the help Cathy received from our community has been a huge help.

We are continuing to rehearse and get ready for studio time as well as a few upcoming shows. Sorry folks, these are private engagements. As to the studio time, we are scheduled to start in mid August. Warren, Blaise and I are primed, charged and ready to rock!! Recording engineer and producer Rick Salt who helped me with the “Choices” CD is once again the guiding hand on this project. We are excited about Rick's involvement as a previously Juno nominated engineer and look forward to this next step in the “BoodAbooM” project.
Until next time, remember that a little kindness goes a long way.
