So my band 'No $ignal' played our annual Live show this last weekend at the legendary Silver Dollar Room in Toronto. What started as a dare four years ago resulted in our first public performance at my house on my 50th birthday in January of 2010. About thirty friends came over and we squeaked out 6 songs that evening. My daughters had upstaged us with a song they performed on the piano but it was still playing in front of an audience. We upped the anti the past two years and played our January gig's at Clinton's Tavern. It was great for us to play live in a place like that and make lots of mistakes. I was getting to do what I used to fantasize as a kid in my bedroom blasting Springsteen songs from my stereo. This years show was of Springsteen proportions. We did a marathon 37 songs
(One short of his record 38 song set list from New Years Eve 1980. We even sang 'Sherry Darling'). The band has come a long way and I think we sounded pretty tight and we all seemed to be having more fun with less anxiety while performing. One of our special guests Suzanne Jarvie performed an original song of hers called 'Spiral Road' which we only got to practice once, and I think it came off really well. We could not have done that last year! I think it is a pretty unique experience for people who have caught some of the shows over the years to see the development and progress of a live show.
The Lost Vegas images are at a one month residency at the Silver Dollar in the back pool room. There couldn't be a more apt space for them to hang than there? What is next ->>>>>
