...ergo: February 25th works for everyone?

i'd have to vote for march over this saturday, as i have another commitment that night (don't you too, derek?). i'm pretty good for most fridays and saturdays throughout feb or march.

Hey morning glories, what's the story? Is this thing on for Saturday or not? If we're going to use the blog as a conduit please keep it up to date.

This Saturday is great for me.

In going through previous blogs it looks like this Saturday January 28, February 4 and 25th are the only possibles outside of pushing it back to March. I'm good for any of the above.

RE CD club dates; a saturday night or wait for march???what do you guys prefer?? Im flexible
s

hey there...ufortunately, i can't do this friday. i won't be back from phoenix until saturday....

like i said, if it ain't February 9, 10 or the weekend of the 18th, i'm in....don't know how much music i'll have to bring by Friday, but i'll make up for it in beer....consumption that is.

CD club this friday 27th january???? still waiting for confirms from Kyle and marc

That Brian, he’s such a clever little lad! Here’s the perfect opportunity to ask Al in person. I hear he is playing at an intimate little venue just west of Toronto. …I can just see it now…Brian standing in the back of the room, pint in hand…HEY AL! WHAT THE H…

What the hell is a "morning form a Bogart movie" anyway? All of Bogey's films (well, not all nut I don' think he's talking about Treasure of Sierra Madre here) were set at night. They didn't call it Film Noir for nothin'.

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime

Could I show up just to hear Time Passages and then leave? I'm out of the country on those dates so I have a built in excuse. I would still like to see a show at some point at Hugh's Room however so keep trying Stuart.

This Friday is OK for me.

Please ignore my previous inquiry re shuffling songs. Found 'er.

Stu, re Al Stewart, no thanks. And now I have Year of the Cat playing constantly in my head you bastard.

This Friday for CD Club would be my first choice so let's hope that y'all can do it.

OK dont throw stones at me a polite decline is acceptable....Al Stewart is playing HUghs room April 7th , 8th and I was a big fan back some years ago and its a great venue if you have not been....You eat dinner and watch the show from your table...20 feet away from the stage...you are home by midnight...It is very civilized (its a venue Yvette loves) Anyone wanting to bring wives along ....?
Yvette and I will probably go to this one.....let me know ...$35.00 per head

marc is unavailable on the 10th,,,bookclub the week after, Im away the weekend after....sooooo Im OK this friday or we have to shift it to a Saturday night or march....Im oK with any of that...

Stu - I'm a possible for the 3rd but would prefer this Friday (Jan 27) or Feb 10th, reason being that my mother in law, visiting from Australia, is leaving the night of the third, so that's a hectic time. Hopefully we can all move it one way or the other but if you can't you can't.

Well, I've got 700 songs on my iPod and am playing away - it is great technology- but haven't figured out how to shuffle songs. So Kyle I'm interested in your last e-mail. A brief description would be most helpful (we can go off-line if you're concerned about boring the other bloggeres......hah!) - amazingly I couldn't find it through the on-line help, but then again I realized last night I was looking at the help for the nano and I have the iPod30. Blah blah.

I'm in for February 3rd, Stuart. Thanks for taking on the hosting duties. I'll brave the 45 minute streetcar glide along Queen St. by listening to some of the great, free podcasts I've subscribed to over the past year. To do this, Brian, you click on the 'Music Store' in Itunes, then the 'Podcast' text link that appears on the left, beneath the 'Choose Genre' drop down menu.

Once you 'subscribe' to the podcasts of your choice, every time a new show is available, it will automatically download whenever you have your itunes software open and then will sync to your ipod each time you sync. Some of the podcasts I enjoy: CBC Radio 3, KCRW's The Treatment, and NPR: All Songs Considered.

Another fun tip for using the ipod is to use the 'shuffle songs' feature that plays songs randomly, which can be fun if you have several thousand songs on your player and get to hear, probably for the first time in history, a Maria Callas aria followed by 'The Sporting Life' by the Decemberists followed by 'Blasphemous Rumours' by the recently much discusssed DM, followed by 'Round Midnight' by the Derek's suggested artist MD in a fifteen minute span.

Happy listening.
