Back In Toronto Again

admin — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 05:59:40 +0000

So this is a very quick update from Geoffrey-Glen. I’m in Toronto on business once again and starting to book gigs at the local honky-tonks. I’ve got a brand-new country jumbo acoustic not unlike this one: http://74.52.120.66/~jogila/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/picture-152.png courtesy of www.long-mcquade.com/ the only local music shop you should consider, trust me and them, and I’m starting to stack up the solo gigs. Hopefully I can coerce some fiddle players or lap-steel or slide players to try and follow the 4 chord arrangements, it’s not as easy as it sounds, folks, and every drop you drop in the hat repays these mighty warriors or at least subsidizes them. This Saturday I’ll be at the Tranzac club on Brunswick ave. at 10 pm. It’s 10 seconds south of my first real job in T.O. ca. 1983 at the by-the-way-lick’n-chicken-cafe (not recommended – I got fired for cartooning but more later if requested) and why I didn’t bypass falafel burns and go straight to the southern cross room probably has more to do with my inexperience at the time and large New Zealander/Australian expats not interested in my nonsense though I ended up with a couple kiwis in my MTL. crew. Everything in it’s own time, and this time is this Saturday. If I had known they liked pantomime, I might have been on board sooner. Now that I think about it, I did arrive there briefly in the 90′s when Paul Hogan hung out and I was actually on the publicity board for a year…

Howdy folks!!

Big news to announce. The Marshalls first batch of recordings are now complete. We have a nice chunk of classic country standards recorded and ready for sale. Nothin huge by any means; but something for all you good folks to take home with you when you come out to see The Marshalls play in a bar, wedding, restaurant, showroom, festival, bowling alley, or back alley in your hometown.

We also have a business card to pass on out to all those good ol’ folks in honky tonks and meetin’s that might be lookin’ for some great country classics.

I also want to thank all the kind folks that we have had the pleasure to play with at the last couple shows. We had a real swell time performin for the nice folks up at Inspecteur Epingle, and as well, to Lazarus Moan with whom we had a great night playin with a Bar L’Esco last month.

Thank-you kindly for your time and stay tuned for more from me, Syd, and the rest of the clan.
