It's been a very long time, but the Savoys have survived the departure of our guitar player, we've recruited a new bass player, and we've learned a whole pile of new tunes. It's taken over 6 months, but the band is ready to start gigging again. The Savoys are back, and we mean business. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Kool Ray and The Hip Katz.

mcfro.blogspot.com: New MacBooks Underwhelming
http://mcfro.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-macbooks-underwhelming.html
Please bear with us while mcfro.blogspot.com undergoes renovation. Tuesday, October 14, 2008. It has been some eight months since Apple released an update to their laptop lines. Given the delay, us Apple zealots were expecting something big - and I mean really big. After the hour I spent on sites such as Gizmodo. Reading up-to-the minute updates on the press conference this morning, I can't help but be a little disappointed. The second thing that bothered me was the absence of the Firewire. Pro models th...

The entries begin with the first installment: " How Many Drums Does A Drummer Need. And continues with the article: " Status of the Makeover. I was then contacted by a new Canwood.

Please bear with us while mcfro.blogspot.com undergoes renovation. Tuesday, December 02, 2008. On The Impending "Coalition Government". Well, it didn't take long for they boys in Ottawa to send things to Hell in a handbasket after spending some 300-million dollars on a an election campaign which resulted - more or less - in the same government in the House. What has developed in the House of Commons in the last week or so is nothing short of amazing. These are so ridiculous. Quote #1 (paraphrased): What'...

Please bear with us while mcfro.blogspot.com undergoes renovation. Thursday, January 01, 2009. 2008: The Year of Unemployment. So what was the biggest news in my life of 2008? 1 I quit my job of six and a half years. For many reasons I wish to remain private, but in its' most literal sense, it was killing me slowly. I wasn't earning as much as I should have. I simply had enough, and I needed to explore new avenues and learn new skills. The future of the band will be in question. Inherent psychobabble, us...

Please bear with us while mcfro.blogspot.com undergoes renovation. Saturday, April 28, 2007. Status of the Makeover. Continues on my new Canwoods. For 2-3 weeks now, whenever time can spare, I am pulling apart my drums, cleaning, tweaking, tuning, polishing, and replacing damaged parts on them. With each part I replace, with each piece of chrome I polish, and with each drum I clean, the drumkit looks better, and sounds better that it ever did - that is since I have become its' rightful owner. The bass dr...

Please bear with us while mcfro.blogspot.com undergoes renovation. Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Ed Note: This is the fourth entry into the "Canwood Drum Restoration" thread that I began writing this past April. For those who are interested in reading the first three entries, you can view them here. Searching through their vast inventory, I placed an order which included a pile of nylon lug washers, swivel nuts to refit every tuning lug on the snare, two "mighty-hoops" and a tube of machine thread grease, ...
