so reminds me of the mcgarrigle sisters
caught a small bat sized moth, and was letting it go outside
and ppphhhttttt silly me ---- the cat from hell is now out,
wondering how i can grab a tiny chipmunk, a midge (in mid air)
and now a moth but not the cat who i do know
A little reminiscent of Melanie Kafka too
Here is an interesting link. http://www.nashtheslash.com/history/00_legacy.html
Nash the slash chronicling the Rockpile with lots of his own pictures from the era.
Some cool stuff if you follow the "list of artists" links.

Thanks for all the Birthday wishes. Still celebrating today is the big day. Made myself a BETTER THAN SEX CAKE. Is it ever yummy but no way better than sex. It's a recipe from my mom's friend Oonah, she's the one who named it that not me. Just sayin'. I had to have a tester taste. To hard to resist.Attachment 196616
Must have been neat last night Mechman - how has the place changed? Did they play for a good 1 1/2 hrs or more? Felt bad to miss it but we had our last jitney today and then dinner afterwards so I didn't want to be out real late and not be able to sleep (I'm sure the music would have continued going through my head all night!) Now I find out the afternoon has been cancelled:mad: because of the rain!!! Darm!! Still going down for the dinner - which is quite good - if you signed up you still have to pay. As it was I went to Nuit Blanche and got in about 12:30 a.m. wow the amount of people that go is crazy.....
I sure hope Goddo plays again at some point - did they do a good job - Greg is looking older but I guess we all are! Is he still living in Calgary?
here's some birthday cake to share in Spartacus's honor!

Yes Greg is still living in Calgary.
He was very talkative on stage between songs, (Old boys need a rest)
Said he was happy to be back in his hometown.
Said it wasn't like the old Knobby, there was no urine in the sinks, at least not yet.
Played a mix of songs, including my fav "Under My Hat"
Their original drummer Marty Morin joined them on percussion, it was a great vibe.
Very eclectic crowd, more so than the Sound Academy.
Recognized a few characters from those shows in attendance.
As for the venue, the old bathroom signs are still intact.
Here a couple of pictures from other sources;

I think we will be seeing them here again soon.
I just read that Goddo will play the Rockpile East, New Years Eve!
This is one of my absolute favourites !!!
If I ever remarry, just might consider this. Would be a blast :)
