Spring has Sprung!

(thats probably a duplicate post title)

Hey everyone, wow, yesturday was a very beautiful day, and I couldn’t be happier. I spent the majority of the day enjoying the sun and spring like temperatures (It was warm enough to go outside wearing a thin sweater with the sleeves rolled up and be comfortable). I can’t express how excited I get each year when the snow and the cold and ugliness of winter vanishes, and is replaced by the beauty of summer, not to mention finally seeing the ladies out and about wearing less and less clothing (its all good). Not to mention patio season, sitting outside drinking a beer with some friends talking about what you’re going to be up to in the coming summer.

Ahh refreshing.

Canadian Music Week, And Now……

I had a great time last week/weekend checking out shows, walking around with Brad and playing on Saturday night at Lee’s Palace. Overall it was a very positive experience. We had some notable people out to see us play. Morgan thought that he had a mediocre show, I felt confident with my performance, and I know the other guys felt good as well.

Speaking of the other guys, Saturday was Paul’s final official show with Birds of Wales. He’s playing with a band called “the Dunes” now, and we wish him luck.

Everyone should know that Paul leaving the band was a mutual decision, and as far as I know there aren’t any hard feelings between the band and him. Its been a great time playing with him, and he’s certainly taught me a lot, and I hope I was able to teach him some things as well.

We’re currently playing with a new drummer named Andy. He’s got a ton of experience playing with many notable famous/talented musicians, and we’re excited to see what he can bring to Birds of Wales. He’ll be joining us in the UK/Spain next month, as kind of final test to see if he’s the kind of guy we’re looking for the band.

Britney’s gone crazy, so lets exploit her

I dont know what is going on with her.. I dont even like her that much.. However, I do respect her as a music business woman (well, maybe not, since these recent events have been questionable). However, I do not believe that having her face plastered all over the front cover of every tabloid, newspaper, website, and cerial box is going to help her situation.

Shes crying for help people. I think theĀ  stress of being in the public spotlight has cracked her. Shes gone bonkers.

Lets all focus on something more important, like the recent news that the director of Titanic (James Cameron) has unearthed the bones of Jesus and Mary?
