We went to a wedding recently and like most functions these days there was a DJ presiding. While he played a good selection of music he was far too loud, which made it almost impossible to have a conversation with people. Live music is better. June The Orangeville Festival was great - we played at the Osprey Valley Resort and will be returning soon.  May We live so close to Casino Rama that we regularly attend concerts.  In the next few months we have tickets for  Sammy Hagar, Leahy, Neville Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, Crosby Stills and Nash, Gloria Estafan, The Fab Four and Anita Baker.

March We all send our condolences to Neil Numminen this week,  whose father passed away Feb 24.  He will be dearly missed, a man with a great sense of humour.  Feb Had a great vacation time on San Andres Island, lots of rum, Spanish salsa and reggae music every night and good Columbian cigars. Ran into Brian Vollmer the leader of Canadian rock band Helix and his wife Lynda. We had many meals together and an enjoyable time talking music. April We saw Santana this week and what a great show the band was kicking as usual.  And on Apr 5, I was the featured guest with the James Anthony Band at the Carrigan Arms in Burlington. This gig is at a very busy location and in recent weeks guests have included George Oliver and Lance Anderson. I had a good time with the Halton Blues Society and return July 12.

REVIEWS     
"The GTA is "chock full of talent" and Ken is one of the finest of the lot. To hear him perform, one would swear it was Eric Clapton Unplugged on the stage".  66 on Brock, Uxbridge, ON   
 " the CD has arrived -it's awesome" L. Erickson, MB  
 "an awesome band" Tom McCasey, Trophy Case, Bradford
"This is a rockin' group - when I play with Ken, it's like being next to a musician the caliber of Eric Clapton."  R. Strathdee
