On the Nightrain

Okay, not too shabby for a couple of Canadians to be involved in Slash's new touring band.
My friend and former touring mate Brent Fitz playing drums, and Todd Kerns playing bass...

Turn the page on this chapter folks.....NEXT...

After almost six years living in the same house in east Vancouver , i will be moving on my merry way to occupy my very first studio suite all to myself! I am soo excited as honestly its a few years overdue, but what is a year or two when dealing with punctuality!
I am abandoning my praise for the east side cross and heading west to "greener" pastures. A mere three blocks from the beach, and with everything I need in close proximity I do believe i have found what i was looking for.

I have even found myself online looking at furniture and various other home furnishings! Not that there is a whole lot of space I must say...but i for surely need to get my style on!

Ill post pics in a month or so when its coming together....I will be moving in on the 15th and promptly leaving for tour on the 20th!
No rest for the wicked!

till next time..
keep on rocking in the free world..

Welcome to Antwerp

On a day that saw sun, rain, overcast clouds, and a lot of drunken men wandering the streets....out came the following photos...
enjoy








It's true, I come from political prestige!!


I have never claimed to be all that knowledgeable when it comes to matters of my family heritage. I did attend a really great family reunion about 10 years ago on my mothers side ( Willett), and a few years previous to that I went to a small reunion on my fathers side ( Brittain). However my ability to retain the history, heritage, and important phases of my family tree as never been my strong point. Now thanks to facebook I am becoming reconnected and in touch with more and more family members. Thankfully they seem to pay attention to the heritage of our names and have shared their knowledge with me. Recently i discovered that my great great great Grandfather on my mother's side, was a man named Captain Thomas Willett, the commissioner of New Netherland, and the first mayor of NYC.
Thats right folks, i have a political background..thank you very much!!
