Show 1 Thursday

Last night went well. It felt good and the performers had good energy. Most importantly, everyone enjoyed the show. There are still some tickets left so if you're interested, come out and support Spotlight Productions. Once again, tonight and tomorrow at 8pm, Spotlight Productions presents "Broadway Our Way" at Fairview Library Theater. Tickets are $18 and there are just a few seats left.

Just on a side note, the band is on stage the whole time so I'm finding it tricky to find a point in the show to take a sip of water. That and trying not to cough.

Spotlight Productions: Broadway our way

I haven't been able to post in the past little while because I've been so busy with, well, a number of things. Anyway, I should fill you in on the fact that I've been working with a theatre production company for the past couple of days and they will be performing this week.

Spotlight Productions will be presenting "Broadway Our Way" at Fairview Library Theater in North York on April 28th, 29th and 30th. Show starts at 8:00pm and tickets at the door are $18. As I stated earlier, I have been working with them for the past little while and I will be in the "pit" as their bass player. The show is fun and enjoyable and I encourage anyone that is free on any of those nights to come out. I'm honoured to be a part of this company and am very glad to have been a part of their performances for the past three years.

Golf Season Begins

This past weekend I played my first round of the year at Parkview Golf Everything was going well until I reached green. I can best describe my putting in one word. Bad. I was striking the ball pretty well with a couple of mis-drives here and there. I'm actually happy with my 7-iron right down to the wedges. I made good decisions when inside 130 yards. Even around the green, I had the touch that I needed to get my ball in tight. Not that it mattered because I couldn't hit a 3-footer if my life depended on it. Through 18 I had 3-putted 8 times. Regardless of my "ever-impressive" 103, I still had a great time. I was really lucky being the first group out because while my four-some was finishing up the 18th, I found out that the group behind us were still on the 15th. I guess it pays to check in every day to find out when the course would open. On top of that, the course was completely booked right up to 4pm.

That morning, I learned something about greens and taking care of them. Due to my excitement with playing that day, I had arrived at the course one hour prior to my tee time. To my dismay, the clubhouse wasn't open yet so I couldn't go and have a coffee. So, I decieded to work on my short game on the pitching green. Shortly after, a man yelled out from the clubhouse "Sir! There's frost on the greens, could you please get off." I yelled back, "Sorry!" and shuffled off back to the clubhouse. I went in and asked why it was bad to be on the greens when there was frost. He explained to me that when you walk on the greens while there is frost, you risk leaving black marks with every step, thus, ruining the turf for the season. Go figure, all that work on the greens could be ruined in a heart beat. Maybe that's why my putting was so terrible; the greens were not happy that I had made the mistake of stepping on them when they were not ready. You can bet that I won't make that mistake again.

All in all, a great day for golf with good company, but maybe it is time to look for a new putter.

Another week...

Another practice.

We flew through about four to five new songs and I think it might have been a bit of an overload for a couple of them. That's okay. The main idea was that they got a taste of what the songs sounded like. We've still got a lot of work to do and I'm very optomistic about how we'll sound once the concert comes around.

A good friend of mine just got into the whole blogging thing after stumbling into mine.
