WE HAVE LANDED BACK TO REALITY

   
Howdy Folks..
 
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.  The past 4 weeks have been hillariously busy and I have just placed my footings back on earth.  I was in La-La land for the past 4 weeks. N553755389_1191825_6957_2
   
We had the amazing pleasure of hosting Albert Bouchard for a week.  Within that time span we nailed down 2 great live performances as well as a recording session at Grant Ave Studio. 
   
My ego was as grand as eternity.  Albert Bouchard represents everything that is positive about music and art.  He is full of integrity, passion, kindness and craziness. N553755389_1191828_7870 The Outrageous Canadians were spoiled with great BOC stories, as well as great memories from his illustirous career.  On a personal note, one of the week's highest peaks was having Albert Bouchard, Tommy Ramone and Gord Lewis as guests on my radio show.  How cool is that???  Beat that, STERN!N818085065_2761748_9689
 
Once Albert left the Hammer, I took out my BOC records (now autographed) and started re-living possibly one of the greatest weeks of my life. 
   
Since his visit, I have contacted artists like Jeremy Gluck, The Nomads, and Dave Rave Ogilvie and shared with them the many over the top moments. N818085065_2761749_9960
 
The green light is on, and Mr. Albert Bouchard will be back.  While Albert brainstorms in the workshop, his team, Bouchard's Outrageous Canadians wait ,ready and able, in the hangar for the next voyage. N818085065_2761753_1057
 
Attached are a plethora of shots taken during the debut of Bouchard's Outrageous Canadians.  I hope you enjoy them as much as we did participating in the action.

Swimming in sweat
A rumble above and below
Hey cop dont you know?
The heats on alright
The hot summer day didnt quit for the night"
