Music Heals?

(Happier times: A photo from our sound check earlier this week…)

It was an awful feeling of déja-vu this morning, scanning the headlines on BBC News on the opening day of the Fringe show I’m in. Almost four years ago, The World Trade Center was brought down only a few days before the start of my first-ever comedy tour of Asia.

My deepest sympathy goes out to everyone affected by the horrific unfolding of events in London this morning.

If you need to get your mind off what happened today, by all means come on down to the Tarragon for our 8:15pm curtain; and if ninety minutes of light entertainment doesn’t quite do it for you, believe me—I can relate.

Careful What You Wish For

Thursday, June 30th, 2005

Big-ups to Marc Hickox for making last night’s Cadillac Lounge Concert possible, and thanks to all my friends (Al) who showed up for the event.

Since our two bands had a repertoire of only three or four songs each, Karaoke filled out the rest of the evening. It was fun and all, but yours truly couldn’t help staring longingly at his drum kit, wishing he could play some more.

Well I got what I wished for, and then some… While waiting on stage for our lead singer and bassist to finish his steak at the bar, guitarist Dave Young and I started riffing on the Stones’ Sympathy for the Devil. Some dude from the audience politely asked to join us, and revealed himself to be a monster bass player, funkin’ up the room with his Bootsy Collins-style licks.

I managed to keep up, but barely!
