happy birthday garn...thank you ray...

last night i had a nice evening that started off with garnet’s belated birthday celebration. we tried to go to tapanga...but the wait was way too long....so we ended up at fennies.

it was a really nice meal, conversation and great service...wish i had taken some pics...oh well.

i feel really thankful that we can be friends. it’s important to me...thanks garn and i’m glad you enjoyed your meal and book. :)

ray's old band members rockabilly it up at pats pub....


afterwards i headed home thinking that would be the night...it wasn’t. a friend of mine had left a message on myspace to come to the ray condo celebration. ray condo was a fixture in the rockabilly scene for many years. i used to see him play in TO..then here. probably saw him play at least 15 times...maybe more.

i sorta wonder if that’s were my swing dancing bug started. sean and i would go see him and dance all night our own version of swing...... thank you ray.


for those of you who don’t know ray died in 2004 of a heart attack at age 52. he lived the rock and roll lifestyle...and maybe paid for it in the end...but he was a good guy.

me and dusty doug..


kristie and some rockabilly dude...


hez looks sweet!

saw many old faces i hadn’t seen in years as well as some nice new ones! what a great night! i’m so glad i went...
