It’s that time again for “Winter Sleepers”! That answers what would happen if you went from J.S. Bach to the Beatles (via John Lennon and George Martin) to Gordon Lightfoot to Bill Withers and back again? Thought of sharing this again today while thinking of John Lennon today. #pianomedley

Joining Kevin Barrett at The Emmet Ray tonight for his series KB+Vox! I’ll be on Vox tonight though I can’t promise that I’ll have a Vox Continental organ there. Tonight 7-9!

No one has said it better:

Wow! This one hurts right now and will for some time. But #BlueJays you gave us all an incredible ride this season and that should not be forgotten. And that was a classic Game 7. But the what could have been will last.

BO! Sign that guy up for life now…and give him knee treatment ASAP.

Sign him forever

Game 7! Here it is! In a post that will either age amazingly or terribly in the next few hours, here’s my pre-game warmup, World Series edition, with some Blue Jays greatest hits. @bluejays.com @bluejaysmlb.bsky.social @bluejaysbot.bsky.social #2025worldseries #game7 #organmedley #hammondorgan

My costume? A working piano player who also happens to be a Jays fan and will be tuning in right after my set! #okbluejays #worldseries #game6 #letsgo #happyhalloween 🎹⚾️

Must be the season…the Season Of The Witch! Taken live at The Cameron House last year! youtu.be/ryicIxtfVXw?... Happy Halloween!

THIS! What a team, what a game! One win away!! #bluejays 😁

Moments after back to back dingers from Davis Schneider and Vlad, when some people were still finding their seats! #watchparty #okbluejays #worldseries

Blue Jays win AND the game is over in three hours? What are we supposed to do now?

Give Eric Lauer a contract extension before this game ends!

LET’S DO THE 14TH INNING WOW. SECOND STRETCH. OKAYYYYYY BLUE JAYS!!!!

Bring on the Shohei Ohtani flight memes!

Buck Martinez and Dan Schulman get to call the World Series. That absolutely rules.

HOLY ******** WHAT A GAME!! Could not have scripted a better ending! Amazing game and series!! #bluejays #worldseries #letsgo #okbluejays

GEORGE!!!!

Game 7!! Let’s do this!! #bluejays #letsgo

Happy 🇨🇦 Thanksgiving! Enjoy this live version of Ray Charles’ “Mess Around!” And of course, whenever I do this tune I always think of Del Griffith via John Candy :) #messaround #raycharles #boogiewoogie #johncandy #delgriffith #showercurtainrings

John Schneider unfiltered and unedited is gold! 😂

A look back to last week at Old School Bluegrass Camp filled with great people, family and old friends, writing sessions, shows and late night jam sessions, and yes a decent amount of bug bites! But it all made for a memorable week! And looking ahead to this weekend and the coming week!

Got here a bit late and got lost along the way but still caught up and made the purple walk for Epilepsy Toronto! And got to hear SHOUT the band at the end! #purplewalk2025 #imwalkin #walkforepilepsy

On June 14 I'll be walking in the Purple Walk for Epilepsy Toronto! I've lived with epilepsy all my life, but I only learned how to manage it as of four years ago, so this cause means a lot to me! You can learn more here and donate if you are able. Thanks! www.canadahelps.org/me/ndP5GV2f

Brian Wilson. Thanks for so much amazing music. Watching this clip of these two talking shop is always heartwarming to watch.

Sly Stone. I think of his brilliant musicianship - his singing and his playing. His organ and keyboard playing definitely was a huge influence when I started exploring the larger world of r&b and soul music.
