skocked, excited, a little scared...Back to the Blues

( Images from last years Back to the Blues Festival in Chilliwack, British Columbia )

A couple of weeks ago we put the finishing touches on our demo cd in the studio. A huge load of thankyou's to Justin Bones of Sailor's Blood formerly Arbutus Trio, who came over and recorded and mixed. We did the music with the band ( Mike Philip, bass; Bill Hardie, lead guitar, resonator, accoustic; Kevin Sundberg, rhythm guitar, accoustic; Me, drums, percussion ) live from the floor in one take...and mixed the vocals in later with ( John and Gail Bones ). All of us...aka " Dr. Bones Blues Project."

We mailed the cd off about to weeks ago...and heard back last night we made the cut. So, we're scratching our heads, a little bewidered, thought it would be nice, but...didn't really expect it to happen. So now we look forward to three days in July, to hang out with some really good musicians, listen to some good blues...and some great fellowship.

You can  check out the details of the Back to the Blues Festival here...lots of good onsite camping. And, I'll be setting up a myspace site for the band, for anyone interested in having a listen. And one last thankyou...to the folks on the streets in Victoria, down at the Seed, that did that...constantly planting seeds of encouragement.

And for anyone wondering what the " Dr. Bones Blues Project " tastes like, you can have a listen here.

Oh, yah...and Dr. Bones says, " God's perscription, take a daily dose of the blues for what ever ails ya."
