Monday, Feb. 18, 2008: "Canada Reads; Ontario Rocks" Concert - CBC Studio 40, Ottawa

I performed my winning entry for the CBC Radio One show Bandwidth's "Ginger Ale Jingle Contest" on stage with various Ontario musicians who had composed songs linked to the five novels of the "Canada Reads Contest". The performance was aired Saturday, Feb. 23rd across Ontario.

My entry: version 1

My entry: version 2 (official)

Review: "I believe that one of the maxims of entertainment is to never follow animals or children or guys singing songs about ginger ale -- especially guys from Thunder Bay." -- Dave Bidini of "The Rheostatics".

Sunday, Feb. 17, 2008: Church of Christ's Coffee House

In a reversal of their usual roles, Robin took over the job of the sexy, charismatic frontman/lead guitarist and Richard played the sullen, brooding, less-desirable (almost repulsive) rhythm section.

Songs Performed: "River Runs Red"* "Arctic World"* and "Sometimes"*. Richard sang solo his winning entry in the "Acadia Dry" jingle contest for CBC Radio One's "Bandwidth" and also a jazzy accappella setting of Psalm 127/Paul's Testimony from the never-to-be-produced musical "Philippi".

* by Australia's "Midnight Oil", one of Robin's favourite groups.

Review: "Nice singing, Robin, but get a haircut." -- Peter Garrett M.P. (& lead singer of "Midnight Oil").

In February I uploaded videos of the Transparencies' performances of our Darren's "Bears in the Woods" usually at Dorion Bible Camp Variety Nights between 1994 and 1996.

Rather than embed them here, I have made us descriptive links below that will take you to each on Youtube.
