The sun was out today and I drove to Sass Jordan's and we shredded on one of my tunes for the duets album. She is just bad-ass all around. Her huzzband Derek recorded us and simultaneously, washed vegetables for a vegan pizza as he got ready for a gig in the USA.

What a voice. You must download all the Sass you can. Follow her on twitter, facebook and everything else. She is one of Canada's treasures. Yay Sassers!

i love people who run for buses. who say yes instead of no. and people who if you call them the night before a radio show, they will A) learn your songs to play with you B) join the musicians union so they can participate and C) carry a Fender Rhodes to the radio station, unassisted. This person is Darryl Lahteenmaa. He is part Filipino. He is bad-ass.

Hi everyone. I'm just making dinner and thinking of all of you. Had a brilliant time being a part of the Earthquake Relief benefit concert at Aeolian Hall last night. Their goal was to raise $10,000 and they raised over $15,000 thanks to all of you who came and donated. Super-brilliant for something put together so quickly. Everyone involved was just running around like mad making sure it was going smoothly, and so much heart was in the hall. Lots of volunteers and sweet musicians.
