Since people were constantly asking if I had a blog, I have decided to start one. Thanks to my dear friend David Vasey for designing it, and my website, www.derekdownham.com
I am hoping to give you all insight into the crazy musical world I live in. There will be travelling tales, photos, and even some video. Being the luddite that I am, the latter will require some patience ;)
Today, I am off to throw some ideas into the pot for Andy Kim's new recordings. (Note: for those who don't know, Andy is the guy who wrote Sugar, Sugar for The Archies, plus many other huge hits, and who is also my dear friend. I am the musical director for his band, too). My friends Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene) & Ohad (Do Make Say Think) are at the dials, and I am looking forward to working with them again.
Tomorrow, The Beauties play Yonge & Dundas Square from 8-10pm. Free outdoor show. Tell everyone!
Saturday, we leave to Calgary to start a 2 week run of gigs in Alberta and beyond. Check www.thebeauties.ca for all of the dates. We are coming for you, Canada.
So, that's my first blog. How's my driving?
Hi Derek. This is my first time as a blog. Not sure if I'm doing this right. Hope everything is well with you.
ReplyDeleteBest blog entry to date! The first two were interesting, but lacked focus. :) Looking forward to pics and musings.
