When I Pick Up The Phone, There's Still Nobody Home

A few years back the cowpunks Luther Wright and the Wrongs out some bluegrass in my rock 'n' roll and created one of my favourite musical reinterpretations ever: Rebuild the Wall.

Take a deep breath Pink Floyd fans and open your minds. "Howdy...is there anybody in there?"

United Breaks Guitars

Dave Carroll of the Halifax band Sons of Maxwell had his guitar broken by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. They gave him the runaround and ignored him for nine months, so he wrote a hutin' song and put it up on YouTube, where it is now on its way to going viral. Beware of pissed of customers.

United, United, you broke my Taylor guitar
United, United, some big help you are
You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should have flown with someone else or gone by car
‘Cause United breaks guitars'

Swamp Stomp Country

Yesterday, at the end of my street a group of good ol' boys called The Wild Turkeys set up with their washboard, bass, guitar and suitcase drum kit and just started letting loose. They are from Sault Ste Marie and on a tour out to the east coast and decided to make themselves a little gas money. Just one of those things I love about Toronto.

They performed for quite awhile, but I only recorded two songs. Of course I can't remember either song title, except that the one above is an original. Check them out if you can.


P.S. - excuse the crappy camera work and sound. I think it is time for an upgrade.
