The Melissa Cross DVD helps quite a bit. Recommended for sure. The exercises make you feel silly but they work.

Awesome stories, guys, thanks for sharing!

Not sure if the ALCB likes advice, but I agree with you. I’m still having trouble believing the won’t issue a license to under-18s anymore for playing in bars. These showcases are so important to help them catch up once they finally reach that coveted birthday.

I miss the “old big rooms” a lot myself.
The big tavern rooms were the best for shows. On any given night you could see shows in 10 taverns around town. The best strip being the Highlander,Beacon,crossroads,airliner.
As long as you did not get killed by the Door guys at the Airline you always had a great night out. Now we will have to forgive all the drinkin and driving from back then but besides that part we need them rooms back.
If I was ever to pass on an idea to the ALCB it would be to let club owners that have live music stay open till 4! That would get the rooms to hire bands. Pay for live music get 2 more hours of business. You would have to have a “real” payment system in place so that a bar owner would not just throw this buddy up in the corner and use that to stay open late. But I am sure a set of rules could be put in place that would work.

Anyway thats my save the city idea for today.

Great article… and post from “Blue”
Keep playing and adding to my quality of life in this city.

Great article. I worked at the now defunct Highlander Hotel for 20 years and can relate to the band thing. Even before I worked there, we would go to different Bars to see the better bands. When the Liquor Board stepped in and cut the maximum sizes of rooms, a lot of Bar owners stopped the live music because they couldn’t make the same profits any more, when you crammed 400 people into a venue and then were told to cut it to 125, it made a huge economic difference and the music scene has suffered for it. Room sizes have increased again, but the venues are limited, and not always the most accessible. Keep up the good work, the music and the articles.
