Where do I start? I played a benefit show in Toronto this past weekend and there’s a clip of it floating around the internet somewhere… maybe here.
Aside from that Steve Bates is flying in from Montreal in a few weeks for our first and only Winnipeg show of 2007! Wait there’s more: I’ve been writing many new songs, and there are tours in the works which should take me to cities and towns all over the damn place. To start there’s a Greg MacPherson Band tour being booked for this August in eastern Canada! Even more unbelievable, the website upgrade I’ve been promising is finally getting close to completion. I know it seems like years have gone by since I started talking about that… but that’s only because it WAS several years ago. The good news is that Derek’s sober again and he’s locked himself in a Halifax basement with three or four laptops and a desk top computer working at maximum capacity 24 hours a day promising that the site will be finished soon (marginally witty comments like that may slow his productivity though so I should mind my droll sense of humour where old Derek Vandemeer Hogue is concerned or he’s liable to hit the bottle again harder than ever and my lifelong dream of having a new website to replace this older website… the website I had dreamt about so many years previous and which had replaced the original website I had dreamt up to replace my first crazy website - will never be realised.)
Something else that I find incredibly exciting and important is that I’ve decided to add another unreleased track to our myspace profile. Yes that’s right, the response to last month’s posting of ‘Time and Place’ was so huge (millions of you wrote in with encouraging letters and sent parcels stuffed with north american blue jeans) that I’ve posted yet another new recording made during the same session.
