OK. Toronto. What a beautiful

April 02, 2002

OK. Toronto. What a beautiful theatre”The Pantages”. You should see what it looks like from the stage when you’re all alone up there. Tonight I did “Old Mistakes” from my album... all by myself, after the Chicken Lady sketch. I had a good time but the whole show was full of technical hiccups for everyone else. I guess its not my hometown so the pressure is off. All the other guys have to deal with the hometown curse. Not me. When something goes wrong on stage they just react and improvise and as a fan I really enjoy those moments. They are so brilliant in their ability to recover. I give extra credit to Kevin MacDonald for being the one to know what to do when the wheels are falling off the wagon. He is a master in covering up when all goes wrong.
I am now officially loving every minute if this.
It unsettles me now that so many people are tuning into my blog and its been really interesting discovering all of the snoopers along the road. Perhaps it will constipate my output as I become self conscious of my readership

I am so out of gas right now that all I am thinking about is how to type without a 60% failure rate. Dave Foley, David Himelfarb and others, whos’ names I will withhold , were just sitting up trying to solve the romantic problems of a friend in attendance. I don’t think it worked but we really enjoyed laughing about his situation. How cruel.

Paul Brennan came out tonight and it was a beautiful thing. Some of you willl remember him from the Odds. One of the great human beings and musicmakers of your time.
