February 4, 2012 on 5:31 pm by Michael Grey | In Humour, Pipe Bands, Random Thoughts | No CommentsHere’s a neat whisky advert from the 1950s: a tenor drummer in full flight – both flourishing and sounding the drum, too.

Log Driver’s Waltz
January 31, 2012 on 7:37 pm by Michael Grey | In News, Random Thoughts, Video | No CommentsHere’s a nice sample of Canadian folk music – or a kind of a Canadian folk music: Wade Hemsworth’s bouncy, cheerful “Log Driver’s Waltz”. Produced by the National Film Board of Canada in 1979 this little “vignette” as the NFB calls it, has become an iconic bit of Canada’s cultural flotsam and jetsam.

Friday Funny
January 13, 2012 on 6:21 pm by Michael Grey | In Humour, Random Thoughts | No CommentsOne of the funniest books I own is a little volume called “Bride of Dark and Stormy”. It’s a collection of the best entries to the Bulwer-Lytton literary competition. Unlike once-funny TV shows like, say, M*A*S*H, this slim volume has never become dated and has always made me laugh.

One Sunday Morning
December 2, 2011 on 8:18 pm by Michael Grey | In Photographs, Random Thoughts, Stories | 2 CommentsHere’s a photo from the archives; one of my favourites. I especially like the soft light in this pic. Here we see mid-August morning sun stream through the great stretch of high windows squintifying the weary, mostly hungover band of friends. [apologies to Sister Wendy: I may've ripped off her commentary/patter there].

Echoes of Remembrance
November 11, 2011 on 1:00 am by Michael Grey | In Random Thoughts | Comments OffToday is Remembrance Day. They’re all important but maybe today notably so since we have a once-in-a-century day marker in 11/11/11.

Can I Have Your Postal Code?
October 2, 2011 on 7:43 pm by Michael Grey | In News, Pipe Bands, Random Thoughts, Solo Piping, Whinges | Comments OffA whinge today. No two-ways about it. That’s what it is. And, a rarity, completely unrelated to bagpipes or pipe bands.

Michaelmas
September 29, 2011 on 10:06 am by Michael Grey | In Random Thoughts | Comments OffToday: A day of note if your name is Michael or you’re a Celtic-y, Druidish, retro-religous type; so I qualify on one count, anyway.
