Sorry to hear that Quebec artist/musician Gerald Jobin AKA Jos binne has passed. Friends with my Dad. Among his many talents, he crafted these beautiful jackets worn by rock stars like @tomcochrane and ME! My Uncle Ronnie said that his was “too nice to wear”. My Juno Jacket!

If you’ve danced the Boogaloo onstage with Muddy Waters, I send you birthday wishes on this page!! Happy 82nd to Jerry Portnoy!

I saw this on the interwebs today. Usually I prefer a more traditional finish, but I kinda dig this. What are your thoughts? Too “7-Up”, or cool? I’ve never owned a Junior, but there’s always room for “just one more guitar”!!

Another Happy Heavenly today. Jimmy Johnson, who lived to be 93, was born on this day in 1928. Beautiful voice, smooth guitar. I enjoyed his weekly online videos during the pandemic. Inspiring! Reminds me a bit of Otis Rush. Check out his song You Don’t Know What Love Is when you get a chance!

The late, great Mark Lanegan was born on this day in 1964. He left too soon, but it’s incredible that he made it so long!

Happy 83rd Birthday to The Big Yin, Billy Connolly!

Since my Extension show this Saturday is just down the road, Imma bring a couple extra guitars including this Guy-Tar. This will be the designated “in tune strummer”. One of a kind Guy Lafleur tribute crafted by Brent McCleod. Beautiful wood and detail. Sounds fantastic! @canadiens.com

Farewell to Mr. Jimmy Cliff. Many rivers to cross!

I found these cool vintage strings in my music room. When I first met my friend Ken Hamm, he had a hippy leather pouch to keep his slides, capo and string changing gear in. My mom got me this similar rig, which I have somehow managed to keep for damn near 40 years! Tuning fork!

When lil bro does something that big bro approves but mom does not

Sunday pancakes at The Moose 🫎 with Mama Doo!!

This is pretty much me thinking about Sunday Pancake Breakfast at The Moose Hall tomorrow!! 🥞🍳🥓☕️

The Wifi Boys were givin’ ‘er tonight!

Happy 82nd Birthday to TEN TIME STANLEY CUP CHAMPION Yvan Cournoyer!!! @canadiens.com

String changing time! The show in Powell River was one ton ‘o fun, and the guitar took a beating. Gotta get fresh and prepared for my Extension show with Duane Watson in one week from today!

Happy 75th Birthday to Little Steven Van Zandt! I once interviewed him on K-97 in Edmonton with my pal Rob Berg. As I’m sure sure you already knew, he was super cool and a very interesting dude. I’ll have to see if I can find that and post it…

Sexy scars, they drive me crazy… Happy Friday from Goldy!! She’s excited to see all the booking offers coming in for 2026!

One week from tonight my buddy Duane Watson and I will be playing our roots, blues and original music for you at Extension Community Hall. Keeping it real, South End Style! Reserve your seat now!

I’m a little late to the game, but I’m loving the new Bold As Love box set. Over the years I’ve had many lo-fi Hendrix bootlegs (and still devoured them!), but this is a fascinating collection and just further shows Jimi’s genius as a songwriter, guitarist and singer.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States: - Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party - Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children - Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats Those are just factual statements.

They say that you shouldn’t get high on your own supply, but I was eager to taste the new Bloozeberry Hot Sauce! I pan fried some delicious schnitzel and Magic Dust Potatoes (Smokin’ Okies in Regina!) and decided to try it, and…PERFECT PAIRING!! Difficult to describe, just darn GOOD!!

Here is Lil Jer from Hornby Island Hot Sauce Company to tell you about Hot Licks Hot Sauce! All organic with locally sourced ingredients! 🌶️ 🔥 🫐

Lane Hutson is in the building, rocking a Marie-Philip Poulin 🐐 Montreal Victoire jersey

One more Duane Allman post on his birthday. I revisited this retrospective collection today that has everything he ever recorded. An absolutely amazing body of work for a guy who only made it to 24 years old. Incredible!

Throwback Thursday! BB King rocked many guitars in his life before he settled on Lucille (and there were many Lucilles!). Many of his early recordings were done on a Fender Esquire. Here he is with a nice, clean Stratocaster way back in the day!

Lots of musical birthdays today!! Happy Heavenly Birthday wishes to Duane “Skydog” Allman and Dr. John, and Happy 78th Birthday to Joe Walsh!

Farewell to bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield…

Sending love and healing vibes to Tim Williams, one of my favourite musicians and favourite people. ❤️

Happy 89th Birthday to Dick Cavett!

Today’s chapter in my book will be about Dickey Betts. I only met him briefly a couple of times, but we certainly have some stories. His incredible musical talent was matched only by his mercurial temperament! He was a ramblin’ man!

Happy Humpday. I’ll put the coffee on and get the fire going…

Trumps out here doing a lavish show for the Prince of Saudi. When ur fallen soldiers returned home, this fat sack of moldy oranges went golfing.

Stocking Stuffer Alert! Starting today, I will have my hot sauce and CDs available at Gogo’s Christmas Tree farm. We also have TREES!!! 🌶️ 🔥 💿 🌲

Congratulations to these fine Bluesmen! I still have time to catch up!! @rockinbluesshow.bsky.social

It appears that I did give ‘er in Powell River! My picking hand is pretty beat up! Thanks to everyone who came down, I had a blast!

Hey! Have a Monday…

Louis Riel. Executed on this day in 1885, still controversial today. Alors, allez au ciel!!

“Forward Kirby Dach (fractured foot) will be out for 4 to 6 weeks.” Meanwhile Habs fans:

Powell River! That was fun! I hope to see you again, sooner rather than later!

The late, great Hubert Sumlin was born on this day in 1931!! Wolf’s main man!!

Powell River!! Thanks for rocking!! Early ferry in the AM, I will give a full report tomorrow!!

This is me at 15. I’m a child. I’m a CHILD.

No wonder he “killed himself”! #ElectionsMatter #POTUS(PsychopathOfTheUnitedStates) #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #InvokeThe25thAmendmentNow #NoKings

Powell River! We need someone to work the door at The Wildwood tonight for my show. Send me a direct message if you are interested, we have pizza and hot sauce to negotiate with! 😉

HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY TO MICHAEL TERRENCE (sometimes Richard) GOGO, AKA DADDY MIKE!!!
