I suppose an hour a year to think about the impact on our planet of our normally unthinking and often manic use of electricity is better than nothing, though it hardly seems commensurate with the magnitude of the issue.

\ TORONTO DOWNTOWN \ With snow drifts and ice mountains now seemingly —finally— just a bad memory, the Friday afternoon matinee live music offerings in TO’s funky/dodgy Kensington Market area start to become a lot more appealing.

\ TORONTO EAST \ With two excellent open stages happening across the street from each other on Monday evenings, it’s no surprise to find the area of Danforth Ave. near Broadview thronged by guitar-carrying artists those nights, particularly now that the nicer weather is finally coming back.

\ OSHAWA \ As governments more and more wash their hands of responsibility for the welfare of self-employed people with modest or poverty level incomes who fall ill, beyond paying for basic emergency health care services, more and more frequently the musical community is being called upon to gather to raise funds for those of…
\TORONTO EAST \ According to a documentary I watched on TVO the other night, song birds —avian creatures that produce the delightful coos, warbles and trills that are the virtual soundtrack of nature— are in mortal danger the world over because of factors as seemingly disparate as the increase in the number of domestic cats,…
\ TORONTO EAST \ If you’d told Frank Cosentino twenty years ago that one day he’d be not only accepted and embraced by fellow Blues and Blues-Rock guitarists and songwriters but sharing headliner status with legends of the genre like Earl Johnson of MOXY, he probably would have asked where you got the “stuff” you…

I know, I know, history tells us that we’re bound to get at least one more blast of winter before Spring really and truly arrives. I’m not putting my winter boots away just yet —but at the same time, I can definitely feel something in the air that’s got the ol’ … you know, sap…
