I don't recommend doing that. If the horses stop or accelerate quickly you are left with one smarting tailbone.
It appears that the common theme for first blogs is "How I joined ETH". I'll grab a few minutes and give a quick synopsis before naptime is over and I become dadadada again.
Prior to 2001, I had been playing and recording with various artists in and around Toronto. This was during the time of the dominance of the femal singer/songwriter. I was lucky enough to get connected with several of these fine female songwriters, played on their albums, did some television appearances, watched them win some awards, etc. It ended up being a great way to meet and network within the vast music scene in Toronto. During this time, I decided that it would be in my best interest to go back to school (I'd already done a year of a Bachelor of Science in Nova Scotia, plus a year of studying Classical trumpet at a college in Toronto) and really take the time to focus on my passion - bass. The sexiest of all instruments...
It was during my time at Humber College that I happened to be in a class with a Mr. James Campbell. He approached me one day and said that he was playing with a Celtic rock band and that they were looking for a new bass player. Their primary stipulation, he said, was that they were looking for someone very very cheap and desperate for work. Apparently I was the first and only person he thought of. Thanks, James.
I remember meeting with them one night in an small apartment in Toronto, listened to some of the music, played along with a few tunes and have been along for the ride ever since.
My little man, Mr. Flynn is trying to fling himself out of his crib. I'm going to go stop him.
