Disorderly Conduct - Live Jeff Healey's Roadhouse

So, here we are revisiting a video of my friend Richard Scarsbrook playing drums with his band "Disorderly Conduct". The song is medley of "White Room/Crossroads" by Cream. They played at the famous "Jeff Healey's Roadhouse" in Toronto, Ontario.
This video was recorded very well and the live sound is awesome! Kudos to the sound tech that night!
Take a look at the video for an awesome performance those classic songs!
Enjoy everyone.

Richard Scarsbrook and the Featherless Bipeds

Here is a video of my good friend Richard Scarsbrook and his band The Featherless Bipeds performing an original song called "Tempting". Richard has been out in front of the vocal mic for awhile now considering that he is one of the best drummers that I have ever played with! He is a multi-talented guy! Rich is a drummer, singer, songwriter, published author, actor, and school teacher.


When I first met Richard about 15 years ago, he had written the lyrics to this particular song with his old band called "The Know". The original version of the song sounded different than this latest version. The new version is really great! I just wish I could watch Richard banging on the drums for this one. It would be awesome to see!

Dancing On A Wing - The Works

Back in '89, I was attending Humber College for Technical Theatre Arts and I became a fan of a great Canadian band called "The Works". I just happened to live next door to the lead singer of the band, Brian Malone. Brian told me about his band and gave me a cassette tape of the band's album called "From Out Of Nowhere" circa 1989. Soon after the album was released, I started seeing the videos on MuchMusic all the time. I even attended one of the band's shows in Toronto with some tickets that Brian gave to me. I tried to give away the tickets to my college classmates but, nobody wanted one! They all said "The Works, who?" because, they had never heard of the band before. I went solo to the show and the band rocked the place!!! Next day, I went out and bought the album on CD and to this day I always listen it. It is on my iPod always! Of course, I always wanted to see the video again for "Dancing On A Wing" but, for ages nobody had ever posted it on YouTube. Not until this year. Back in February 2011, "Dancing On A Wing" finally made its YouTube debut thanks to Mr. Brian Malone himself. Brian posted it on his own YouTube page from an old video cassette recording. When you play the video the start is a little rough but, once it gets going, it is a pretty good play. Brian Malone, thanks for posting the video on your page for all of us to enjoy. Here is "Dancing On A Wing" by The Works.

Campbell Street Station Reunion

Coming up on Feb. 26th, 2011 will be the "Campbell Street Station Reunion". It is being held at The Stubborn Mule bar (formerly the Campbell Street Station). Tickets were sold out very quickly so don't even think about getting any now. The Reunion show is to feature local bands from Sarnia who used to play at "The Station" back in the 90's. The bands are:

Ten Seconds Over Tokyo

Streets

The 88's

Lucky me, will be in attendance as I will be working the lighting for the shows while Steve Loxton of Great Big Sound handles the live sound mixes. It is a capacity crowd that night and sure to be a fun time for all in attendance. I am taking my camera to document the event that night. I will be sure to post some candid shots on my page.

Cheers!

My New Guitar Amplifer - Found!

A new guitar amplifier has been on my wish list of items for a very long time and I have found the one I would like to buy. Marshall Amps came out with the Class 5 combo, tube, guitar amp which is the perfect fit for my guitar setup. I am looking for an amp that I can use to practice with in the basement and also use in a jam setup with my other musician friends. The Marshall Class 5 will work for me with it's small size, low wattage power, and reasonable price point. I just found out that it is now available in two colour finishes: standard black, and green. See attached picture below.

On the Marshall website site there is the Marshall Class 5 product launch with featured guitarist, Joe Bonomassa. Joe puts the amp through its paces and it sound great! Here is the web link:

Also on the Marshall website is an archived product review taken from "Guitarist" magazine from the UK, written by Mick Taylor for the Marshall Class 5 amp. Check out the review by clicking the link below. It is a PDF file so be patient while it loads up. Enjoy!
