George Benson: On Broadway

I've always loved songs like this that start off slowly and then build & build.

A Rockin' Night in White Rock!

Saturday Night I attended a rock & roll concert in White Rock. The band is called "Krunch" and play all over the Lower Mainland. Here's the line-up:

• Lead vocals: Jamie
• Lead guitar: Mark
• Rhythm guitar: John
• Bass guitar: George
• Drums: Steve
  

They were playing to help send a young kids hockey team called the Vancouver Selects to a tournament in Boston, Massachusetts. There was also a silent and live auction to help with the same cause. Great fun had by all!

It's Only Rock 'n Roll But I Like It

In case you're not aware, the title is the name of a song from the Rolling Stones in 1974. I think it's most apropos for the event I attended last night at the Stanley Park Rowing Club. A long time friend of mine, Steve, though now a bank executive, has kept his musical talents sharp and has put together a band of which are some people he played with 20+ years ago!

I'm not a "costume kind-of-guy" so my get-up consisted of putting on my 24-year old red Engineering jacket! And yes, it still fits ... sort of! :-) I helped out Steve's band by collecting tickets at the door and photographing and videoing the event. All attendees seemed to have lots & lots of fun!!

Eric Clapton & Sheryl Crow

A little nice music for a warm summer day.

Everything I Do . . .

I heard this song on the radio today and realized I hadn't heard it in a while. Okay, maybe it's sappy but I've always liked it. Here are 3 versions for your listening enjoyment:
