I'm reading about my dad's side of the family from Flint, Michigan. My dad is pictured in the back behind the Hereford. My grandfather is holding the sign. I'm going to go back there in October to attend a ceremony marking the 150 anniversary of Crapo farm. My ancestor was the governor of Michigan. And a grandson of the governor was William Crapo Durant who started GM and ended up managing a bowling alley in Flint. I want to go see if that bowling alley still exists, and get my picture taken at Crapo st in Flint. Michigan is so unique, surrounded by lakes. I'll post some pictures after my trip there.

Everett True review

Everett True, whom I met while he interviewed Sloan in the early 90's, reviewed my music.

I'm getting ready to rehearse for the two upcoming Le Look shows. I have my karaoke versions of the songs. I'm going to be free of instruments for the first time ever. Ryan's going to play bass live. We have two shows in sept. One is a record release and one is a battle of the bands. I think the battle of the bands is sept 18 at national. record release is the 1st at l'escogriffe. Come out and encourage us. Or give me your criticisms, either way, come by!

Reg Metcalf took this photo of my Sidewalk cafe performance on Saturday. The people at the show were really nice. The soundman was awesome. It's a really nice club.

A great blue heron was waiting by the lake. I floated and watched the clams waiting with their open mouths. Their teeth. The purpose behind the two doors that shut. The temperature of the water went from cold to unimportant. Neighbours left me alone.

I have a web page for Le Look now!

I went to the wheel club (country music club of canada) tonight because my kids are away for two weeks and I'm trying to make the time constructive, and I miss them. But I realized once i launched into "When i stop dreaming" that singing requires practicing. and it's one thing to sing alone at home on acoustic and another to sing in a bar with a so-so mic with people talking etc. but the slide guitar player is divine and he's always a pleasure to hear.
I have to practice singing in a mic. or i should just play without any mic to twelve people.
twelve people who aren't talking at a bar. But then again, i love singing karaoke at a loud place. so i don't know. anyway, i have to practice.
I want sept 1 to be a good show. I have so few shows, it always feels like it's my first and last show every time.
