Perfect Timing. Your words hit home with me and I suspect will hit home with someone else. I hope that you will not mind if I print out this post and give it to someone. It may help them deal with the punch which life has thrown at them. I also believe that they will become an active reader of your wonderful blog.

This song (Hey! I Gotta) “Get The F&$K Outta Here” is for everyone “stuck” in say a bad situation, a bad relationship or a bad marriage.
It can inspire someone to open their mind to a viable solution, because Bad Situations never do get any better (been there, done that).
Some wait far too long to finally say “Hey! I gotta Get The F&$K Outta Here” and then actually do it.
Diemonds is a super talented Band.

Diemonds are Toronto based Rockers, who will remind you of Guns and Roses.
They are fronted by Priya Panda, a sultry raven haired beauty with an awesome voice.
Daniel Dekay and C.C. Diemond provide the rockin guitar and smokin guitar riffs.
Katenan Dioubate – CHEKA performed at Yonge Dundas Square in Toronto, on May 25 2015.
That concert was part of the Massey Hall Lunchtime Live! set of concerts held each Monday at YDS.
I got to shoot the Team Galag Lamborghini Aventador when the Gumball 3000 came to Toronto. Really fun group of guys.
Team Galag has put together this movie of their Exotic Car Adventure during the 2014 Gumball 3000. Great inside look at participating in the Gumball 3000.

[File under “Hail Mary” Posts]
Today I found out I was robbed of about 90% of my earthly possessions.
Gear, thousands of records, tons of books, stage lights, vacuum cleaner (that one esp. stings as it was a choice vacuum), etc.
To my local buds (eastside especially) who frequent all the music and gear stores:
-if you see something, or someone pawns something that looks like Mellowdrone or Big Black Delta gear, hit me up. (Fender Coronados, cases with the BBD or mellowdrone logo on them)
I am thankful that this was a non violent crime.
Atleast I still got some clothes and a petulant cat.
