It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving. This is technically my second Thanksgiving for this year since Canadian Thanksgiving was in October. My friend Akiko and I are doing a combined effort of cooking and Jacob Sacks will be baking lovely pies (pecan, pumpkin and apple YUMMM!!!!) I am going to do my best… Continue reading It’s Turkey Time!

Something New
So a month ago I got this crazy idea that I wanted to make a music video. I recorded a demo of a new tune and I plan to use it for the video. I don’t have any concrete ideas yet but would love input from anyone who is interested in giving me some. This… Continue reading Something New
The E-String In Manhattan…Finally!
So my E-String Band is finally performing in Manhattan at this great art gallery called S P A C E Gallery. I am really psyched to play. The original members of E-String will all be there and we haven’t played together in about three months so it’s going to be great. I hope you can… Continue reading The E-String In Manhattan…Finally!

I was part of a Global Peace Day event yesterday and it… Continue reading Weird But Cool
More Books

I have to admit that he has some serious evidence for that. Here’s a well-known example: The… Continue reading More Books
Good Book
So I should be counting my sheep right now but I just finished a wonderful book called “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter” by Kim Edwards.

You Can’t Take Yourself Too Seriously
So I have been curious about this new show on HBO called “Flight of the Conchords”. You have to check out these clips (clip 1) (clip 2). It’s a reminder to all us musicians that we can’t take ourselves too seriously all the time.
