Long time, no blog

I Haven't had much to post lately, but my friend Mad Mal posts so often that I feel guilty. I'd like to be able to post some of my concert pictures, but I do have some restrictions to follow. I was able to allow the Bayfest website to post my Aerosmith pictures, so here's a link to those.

Went to see Randy Bachman play at Massey Hall on April 13th. We had tickets in the front row. Duke Robillard, Stephan Moccio & Jeff Healey all played with Randy and his wife. Special thanks to Liz at Massey for the photographers pass.
