Virgil Scott hosts his annual New Years for Musicians Party, in February

Hey all, please excuse the delay in posting some new pic’s, I’m getting around to editing & posting a few gems from this past winter. More recent galleries and posts coming soon. This event at Hollywood Bar & Grill in Etobicoke, was post-poned from it’s originally scheduled date, Jan 22nd to Feb 19th due to an apparent gas leak at the club.

So we all had to wait another month for this great showcase of exceptionally gifted performers, most of which live, play, perform and otherwise entertain in the GTA and surrounding urban areas. All organized and hosted by Virgil Scott!

Here are a few selections from that show, with more at the gallery link. Please check them out, comment or question if you wish, otherwise, enjoy!

Paul James Birthday Bash, Sound Academy Jan 19th, 2013

It was ‘Hey Bo Diddley’ night  at the Sound Academy this past January 19th, that was the password at the door to get into a Q107 sponsered Birthday Bash/Fan Appreciation night for Paul James, who along with a few friends, blasted out some good ol rock n`roll.

Two of my buddies and I hopped in the car and went to the club, public transportation to this part of the portlands is pretty much non-existent. On the drive down, I was havin a hard time with the camera strap getting tangled, not helping things was my heavy winter coat and being crammed in the back seat. The club was quite full, but not packed, which is good for me IMO. More room to move around. We also met up with quite a few friends and made some new ones, the vibe in the place was real cool and laid back. Afterwards, we all had had too much to drink so we left the car and cabbed it. (I heard later that my friend was lucky to find one exit that wasn’t locked & chained up when he picked up his car the next day)

Paul rawk’ed it Blue’s style, always a great showman. He was quite gracious in accepting his birthday cake, thanking the fans and successfully blowing out all the candles (I don’t think there were 62 on that cake  –  that might have been a fire hazard 🙂

Here are a few select photos from the full gallery. Please check them out and comment on the ones you like.
