More AP, Ghost Brothers and Fireworks





On Aug. 8 I returned (for one gig) to the Aaron Pritchett organization to sub in on the bass guitar chair. I love playing bass. It's in my opinion the instrument in any pop based band that holds the most responsibility, If you make a mistake on the guitar, keyboards etc. you'll generally get away with it however not so on bass. It was a fun gig - the ol' Penticton Peach Festival. Nice to play some of the new songs from the upcoming record (which BTW is going to be released in Sept. 2008).

I've been doing some gigs with Vesou and Govinda Clayton aka The Ghost Brothers. This is a fun gig - a funky jammy combination of reggae, funk, rock and other flavors.

Also, the fireworks display which I scored was performed in Vancouver on Aug. 2 2008. The narrator is named David Nichols and works for the BC150 team. Musicians on the soundtrack are Jerry Adolphe, Dennis Marcenko, Jay Buettner, Tom Mckillip, Mike Sanyshyn, Chris Aiken, Gord Maxwell, Carly Mckillip and myself. Here's a YouTube link to the performance - thank you to the person who filmed it as I didn't get to see it live:
