wow what a great christmas i had seeing old friends making new ones..........spent alot of time with the family ...my brotheer made his way up here from mexico as he does this time of year and spoilt his little brother ...god bless him ...hey if your ever in the market for a place in puerto vallarta go to pvre.com and dave can help you out........so lots of fires and lots of music over the holidays my nephew is an a mazing player highly talented guitarist my nieces sarah and olivia love to sing and act so we had a wee concert over christmas eve and christmas day....went to a few good parties aswell tim and lisa doorenspleets was especially good!!!...as a matter of fact felt like i didnt stop partying till yesterday festive partying that is..
my good friend and manager sacrificed his own christmas this year to dedicate all of his time to feeding the homeless right out of his loft....what an amazing thinng to do the response was fantastic newspapers were contacted volunteers came to support from all over ...i actually was asked to come down to provide some entertainment via the pullie project which i did indeed and i was supported by alistair on lead.....it was such a great feeeling being down there just to have contributed and the people were so grateful...its really the first time ive been involved with some thing like this....i mean we play charity gigs but this was really hands on......so once again congrats to u ike for setting this whole thing up you got a heart so big dude it could crush this town....to put things into perspective ike lives by the idea that you should treat people the way you would like to be treated.....so simple but so powerful if followed

peace

my favourite librarian is jorgy........read christopher moore!!!!!!knock down doors hold on pause .......ok...play and then go to myspace.com/thedunesrock yeah ...yeah...and happy holidays and be honest dont forget ....dont forget that....cause its important and u know why ....cause most people arn't .....poor sods!!!!"suckers...liars give me a shovel to them i say dont believe the hype yo chuck they must be on the pipe right?".......yip

Feeling healthy again.....had a bit of time to catch up on my reading as my tonsils were repairing
I know im probably the last one to read this book i had been hearing of it for ages...its one of those things when people hype up something and then when you check out what they were talking about its not that great....but not so in this case the book is the "davinci code" and i thought it was f#@king excellent a bit of a thrill ride not to mention enlightening....also read a little book called "the five people you meet in heaven" a nice little book feel good kind its a short read but i reccomend it....
got my brother coming in from mexico this week for the christmas celebrations...it will be good to see him only usually makes one trip up hear a year.....my goodness!!!what a difference a year makes a lot can go down and alot has i was in a much different frame of mind a year ago thats for sure not better or worse well......maybe a little better than last year anyhow "ups and downs and highs and lows" its hard to know to love and who trust in this life for me quite frankly im hanging up my loving hat for awhile until i regain my faith in people heres a poem i wrote that will probably make it on to the next record in the form of song.......


another year


dont go and overthink just let it come let it come
laugh a bit and cry and as you blink its over let it come let it come
flying high hit the wall and sink
ive seen it ive been hit
come on take your clothes off if you dare
most of us just worry about the stares
the stairs keep climbing the stairs keep climbing
the glare is blinding throws your timing
the stairs keep climbing the stairs keep climbing
the trains arriving the stars are shining
the silver lining is misstitched godamn this lifes a bitch
get back on the horse and get thrown again
and thrown again
round the bend the sun is coming out
round the bend and time is running out
and for a moment everythings so clear
then the moments gone with another year

yo yo yo! happy holidays!
well....so we hit the stage @ lees palace on thurday night....me personally with some trepidation as my voice was still on the comeback trail due to a cold....i had been drinking lemon honey tea for days trying to get it back into reasonable shape aswell as going over multiple vocal warm up exercises....thankfully!!! i think it paid off i had few crackles but nothing to bad.....on top of it ron the sound guy there made us sound great...thanks ron.
.......many thanks goes out to the awesome!!!crowd..... i think you guys spirited out one of our best performances to date on what was probably one of the longest sets weve played...we opened up with "now" followed by "sunflower eyes" the old one two from the record and then sort of got lost in the songs from there i really dont remember too much of the show it just seemed to happen...what i do remember is that my energy was way up that is almost always attributed to the audience...definitely a great transfer of energy...so overall the show was a success the boys had very little to say on the negative end of course we hit a few bum chords which always is the case...hey its live rock'n'roll.
also many thanks to grand pm alcona and my personal favourite national sound you guys were fantastic...after the show we all went upstairs to the dance cave we we continued to revel....shit the they play great music up there...i had my dancing shoes on......
stayed @ a friends that night i love a good snow storm what was really cool was that there were thunder storms in the snow storm fucking brilliant ....oh yeah band of the month for me just got turned onto them are these guys out manchester called "elbow" and there latest album is called "leaders of the freeworld" all i can say is wow! check them out!

....last night were in the hammer @ a place called the pepper jack cafe cool spot not exactly the largest crowd we have played to....so it goes... played a few numbers from the pullie project to kick off the set a new one in there to called "blankets me with love"...nothing to exciting to report on our show except maybe a warning to not play a rock show in knee high rubber boots....... we played with this band called "birdseyeingit" a sort of jazzy soul type band whose singer in my opinion is on her way to taking over the world they are quite a young band but they are tight! the singer of the band is a young lady i believe her name is sarah and she has to be the most purely beautiful girl i may have ever laid my eyes on and the voice on this girl was fucking heavenly i really was blown away i really cant say enough... on stage she exudes this childlike purity with the sex appeal of a woman and the smile of an angel...lets put it this way it probably took a 1/3 of a song for everybody in that place to fall in love with her men and women alike ......if you ever hear or see that bands name around do yourself a favour go and see this star on the rise!!!
