You’ve broken my heart and now you leave me.”

“When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin.
It works not because it settles the question for you,
but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air..

You suddenly know what you are hoping for.”

Speaking of Generations.
You know how every generation is given a name?

You know?
The Baby Boomers,
Generation X,
Generation Y,
Copy-Paste Generation,
Prince and the New Power.

Anyway, I got a whiff of what the kids are calling themselves these days.
They seem to call themselves,

“The Entitlement Generation.”

A lot of them feel that everything should be given to them,
without them giving any sacrifice
or going thru the value of hard work.

They feel that they have the right to have everything.

Are they wrong about this?
Is it the Parent’s fault?

As you can see,
I wasn’t very good at updating the Canada trip.
I wasn’t alone this time, so I was a little busy.

Anyway.
I guess it’s back to the grind for me.

Will try to tell you stories and post some pics while we were up there.

Thanks to my family in Ottawa,
for helping us celebrate my son’s birthday.

Much love to all.

And then …
The kid turns 8.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

“May your Stuffing be tasty
and your Turkeys be plump!”

Thanks be to God.

Happy Birthday, Sir.

I haven’t recorded any music in a while,
since we just moved to a new house,
and my office/music room still looks like an avalanche of mess came through it.

As I was trying my very best to sort my crap out and re-arrange the room,
I found this…

I bought this thing a long time ago
at a souvenir shop in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
I remember I saw it, and I couldn’t let go.
So I bought it.

Well, I kinda have to buy it,
since they prosecute shoplifters there
to the fullest extent of the law.

Anyway,
I really think it is one of the best definitions ever written about Music.
And I would like to share it.

What about you?
How do YOU define Music?
What is it to you?
