I’m loath to call this last weekend a cap on my summer, but I think it’ll be my last chance to perform outdoors until the snows have come and gone.

I had a really fun Saturday night in and around Regina Downtown as part of Nuit Blanche. I didn’t take in as much of it as I would have liked, but I got to contribute in my own way and watch my daughter, DJ Tai Lin, spin some tunes at the Rooftop restaurant.

Well, after that ‘lil existential crisis a week and a bit ago, I’ve made a pretty hard left turn into busy, busy, busy!

No sooner had I posted my last blog than I realized how busy the past week had been, and something I forgot. And now that I've done my studio time, I'll tell a bit of that story too. 

It's been an interesting couple of weeks in the Kazoo Kamp. 

It was hot. And I don't mean, "boy my solos were good and I looked even better." No, like it was +38 in the sun. But man did we have fun. 

If there is a commonality to everything I've done with Jeremy and His Kazoo so far, it has to be that I've spent most of this time challenging my own preconceptions. Preconceptions about working solo, writing songs, performing, the instruments I play and what I want out of this. Even as I've ventured full steam ahead into many parts of this I'm presented with new ideas to consider.

Guitar straps have been on my mind a lot lately. In fact just the other day I commented on Bluesky about how despite 30 years of playing, I still have to untangle my guitar strap everytime I put a guitar on. But that was just one of my obsessive thoughts about this nondescript guitar accessory. So I thought I might wax a bit on the blog about it. Who knows, maybe someday someone stumbles on this blog and finds the wisdom useful.
