Finished the first three empty cup collection shows some encouraging remarks, and had a good time getting out and road testing the songs. At the moment I'm planning a few more shows, if anyone out there would like Old Mare to come out and do a concert in their area drop me a line and let me know and we'll see what we can work out. I promise that next time I post something it'll be deep and profound like all bloggers ought to be.

well well, I see that I have not posted anything in the new year so to my quiet little Blog I would like to say hello how are you doing I see that Frank is still my sole follower.

Old Mare has been slugging away at getting a new EP done to put in the hands of anyone that cares to follow us. I also put together a collection of demo songs as is in my last post calling that the Empty cup collection, which I think works on alot of different levels. After so many stuttered false starts, and pulling up my will to try again and again at this thing I would like to put something in that cup, maybe some change like a busker, maybe a cup of cold water to quench my thirst.

I've put together some shows that are coming up around the corner here one at the wired monk in murrayville , Cafe deux soliels on commercial drive, and Decades coffee club in chilliwack. Keep the faith

The empty cup collection

I've taken four demo songs and put them together on an ep, which I'm calling ,"The Empty Cup collection". The Ep has the songs, with a remix of early morning disaster done by We Have Meteorite Sickness. It is the first release that I am putting out on my new label Cheap,Cheap,Cheap,Bee Lo-Fi records. If you want a copy of, " the empty cup collection" send me a note or come out to a show, or even better book a house show and I'll bring copies with me. I'll be selling them for 5 dollars, merry Christmas!

flood of 48 up on CBC Radio3

I was able to get my song Flood of 48 up onto the CBC radio3 site, through the very generous help of Marie a producer at CBC radio3. The song is going to be included in a podcast hosted by Becky Ninkovic and Stephen O'Shea of YOU SAY PARTY!WE SAY DIE!, sometime this week. Check out their new album," XXXX " out on Paper bag records. Also go and check out the Old Mare song flood of 48 at CBCradio3. Bye fer now

Still stuggling with CBC radio3 website I have tried my very best and brought in some of the finest names in science to help me, ,ie" Stephen Hawking", still no luck, maybe I should hire some 12 year old to help me instead.

I have a hate relationship with technology, I try to welcome it. I spend time with it. But technology is a pretty flirt, who say,"I can help you out", but when I spend an hour and a half trying to put a song up on some page I can't help but want to throw my computer against the wall. get a hammer and smash it to bits, sweep the @#$%^&^%$% thing up and bury in the back yard.
