Tragically Hip!

[kim]

Just when you thought it was safe to come back to Rikki's World of Rock...then Kim comes back outta
the blue! Damn! I know, sucks and kinda severs the life out of a person now doesn't it?

Anyway, just finally able to get back into this site after trying for some months now, and wanted to
mention the Tragically Hip gig I went to last Friday.

It was a great one. I won't go into details as most here most likely haven't heard of "the Hip" or
really give a shit about this iconic Canuck band, but I have to tell you, it was a pretty good gig.

""yours truly" paid waaaaay too much for front row tickets, but it was worth it.
Sound could not have been any better. Lots of room for moving around and boggeying to the quicker tunes.

Would I do it again?...nahhh...there are a number of other gigs out there that could offer a lot more
for the price paid for these tickies.

I did this for a friend however, when he told me that, as a Hip fan,
he was having "difuckalties" finding tickets,...so, using some computer savy, I was able to secure
front row seats for the man.

Enough of that...HOW IN THE HELL IS EVERYONE DOING HERE?

I sure hope that all is well with ALL!

I'm going to try and make an effort to frequent the site more often, because I was looking at some of the
past posts, and I realize that Jesse must have a hankerin' to kick my arse in a debate...as he always does... ;-)

Sooner than later guys...

Good to see you, Kim! Did they play "New Orleans Is Sinking?" It's the only song of theirs I really know.....and I only know that one because you sent it to me along with your Status Quo starter kit a few years ago.

Hey Jesse!

Sadly, and for the life of me, I don't understand why, but they did NOT play "New Orleans is Sinking"?
Blew me away why they didn't??? They also did not play "Ahead By A Century", which, in my opinion is one of their greater tunes as a testimonial to what they can do in a more acoustic sense.

Not sure if that was one of the tracks that I included on the "sample Kimbaman" disc I sent out or not, but if it was, check it out...the damn thing has legs and is worthy of listen.

By the way, I checked out your video inclusion of you and the band playing...HOLY SHIT ON A STICK BUDDY!!!!!!
You sure know how to rock and are far and away one helluva performer! The music is GREAT...and the sound was fantastic. I would love to see you guys doing a Quo track. I have to tell ya, you have the Southern Rock sound down to a science my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes me wonder why the hell I still live so far North as I do.....hahahahaha.

Seriously...I wasn't expecting such talent...not to take anything away, but you do know your chops when it comes to playing music...my hat goes off to you my friend! YOU ARE GREAT!

Uhhmm...I guess that means that I have to go easier on you should we do the political dance once again Eh?....hahahahaha. For what it's worth, I do believe that I have slid a wee bit further to the "right" shall we say, sooooo, perhaps we may be kindred spirits more so than we realized over the last number of years, in regards to politics? Music on the other hand...well, we're still "brothers from another mother" so to speak and I doubt that there'd be very little in terms of tussling in the bedroom before "mom" came in and said...."OKAY YOU TWO ASSHOLES GET TO SLEEP"....hahahahahahahahahaha.

Thanks for the response Jesse, good to hear from you and I sure hope that all is going good for you and that you are doing well my friend.

As stated, I'll try and frequent this great site more than I have in past.

Thanks
Kim

Cool, Kim!
Glad to see you're still around digging music and doing cool stuff. I'm super busy these days but still pop in here to read Spacel0rd's lists so I can find new music. Admittedly, I read everybody's lists, but that Spacel0rd feller, truly a
list-O-holic
... HA!

[kim]

Trexx...

Thank you for the warm welcome. Great to hear from you my friend...and I must ask...do you still look like my buddy Al Pacino?...ahhhh you must...haha.

Yer right, Spacel0rds lists are the ultimate configuration in any and all that defines music.
There is no limit to what this man has to offer and that in itself is part and parcel as to what makes this site as great as it is. The man knows his stuff!

Glad to hear that you are keeping "super busy", that's what life is all about...and then we find a moment to come back here and let the rest know that all is good...that's the way it should be.

Trexx, thank you again for the warm reply. It's guys like you that help keep this site amazing!

Thanks
Kim

Thanks for the compliments, Kim! I appreciate it. I work hard to learn shit. I always have a chip on my shoulder that I'm never good enough. It's always great when I talk to someone who gets what we do. I got some more video footage from that day that I'm gonna put up soon. Including The Shambles Band, where I play bass for original Rock'n Roll. Also an Aerial reunion, Aerial being the band that the other 2 members of the Shambles were in from 1990-1992. Also an orginal band. Sound a little bit like Axe IMO. Also gonna put up Decoy Clone. Another cover band featuring a former bass player for the Shambles. Incredible talent! Remind me this winter (when I have time) to send you a few CDs of our original music.

Once again, great to hear from you. I am working on some more top tens lists, I've been slacking over the summer
