Now that the CD has been out for a while and we continue to stream out songs digitally via facebook and on our soundcloud channel, work has begun on the next project for 'stereotypes'. To be more accurate, we are feeling our way through the next project based on a few guidelines. We are also using 'penny earned' to get a better understanding of how difficult it is to market/distribute music...the leading song so far is "Cry Me a River" with around 1600 listens from around the…

Greetings fellow Kamazooie friends!

I was having a discussion with a couple of friends about some recent news which made me want to reach out to the Kamazooie community for input.  The overall question is "What would you recommend for kids these days to have a bright employment future?".

I was also reviewing some older posts and happened to come across Zack’s posting on …

While marching ahead found on the path of wisdom man attains self control plus progress. He/she attains the path of remaining happy and providing inspiration to others. He/she attains Self/God Realization. Life attains the goal of omnipotence. Man becomes Super Man, Rishi, divine guy, Avatar etc. In this noticeable world he/she progresses quickly and rise significant inside the subtle planet. The fame of Gayatri or Jnana is so awesome.

"And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth "You owe me!", Look what happens with love like that, it lights up the sky."

The fact that Valentines Day and Family Day have fallen on the same weekend has inspired me to…

I was discussing with a couple of colleagues recently about how we live in our own heads and how our perception of reality is actually very subjective and at times dead wrong. This discussion brought me to recall, somewhat painfully, how I learned about the subjectivity of what we believe to be real.

The first case wasn’t that painful; it was at a Coldplay concert with my daughter Kaitlin which was a great experience for several reasons but it did teach me that you…

I see a lot of activity today on Kamazooie regarding the new album from Stereotypes. I also see some reference to music editing in Lorne's postings on working through the development project. Congratulations Stereotypes. 

That said, I thought I would pass on this tool which I have found to be amazing!!!…

In order to hit consistent shots you need to have good swing mechanics, a solid set-up and a consistent technique, but there are certain overlooked principles that if you follow will give you a great golf swing. When I say that these principles are "overlooked" I mean that you know that you're supposed to follow these principles, but you don't. So in this article I'm going to…

After 18 months of joyful toil, stereotypes released its debut CD "penny earned" just prior to Christmas. As I have documented the evolution of the project I wanted to pen one closing submission to capture some of the final impressions of the experience.

When I last left off, we were entering the final stage of recording and production. What I…

Every now and then, I come across something that's really important; and I believe that this is one of those times and those things.

This week, I met up with an old friend.  He and I go back about 15 years but he told me that he recently got together with his 6 university friends. He showed me pictures of them 30 years ago and from their last meeting a few weeks ago. It was interesting to see how they changed physically but what he found interesting is how their lives had changed. As…

Firstly, I want to wish everyone a Merry 2013 Christmas.  This Christmas posting comes a little late since most of Ontario was plagued with an ice storm on December 21 this year and thusly, our power, TV and Internet went down. Fortunately our power came back about 8 hours later but Internet service remains out at the time of this writing on Christmas Day.

Okay so getting to the point, which as you may have recognized takes some time for me, I wanted to reminisce a little this…

As an old school kind of guy, I  tend to forget that a virtually endless library of music is literally at our fingertips on youtube. When I was a young lad, music came in the form of AM radio (usually at night when the air inversion layer helped bounce signals from the northern US states) and listening to vinyl albums at friends houses...and subsequently saving up the cash required to buy the ones that caught your attention at Stedmans.

The other day I ran a search for an old Deep…

I suppose this saga begins, as it had with most kids, on the evening of February 9, 1964.  This was the first American performance of The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.  I was only 12 years old, but certainly enthralled with this “new wave” of music coming to America. Watching on our black and white TV, through the normal transmission static, there they were…..these four young guys from Liverpool, England, with very different haircuts, clothing style, and most importantly, different…

In order to grow your hair easily and despise waiting around then you'll want to take into consideration hair surgery.

Not a bad option in fact, this kind of hair procedure aids a lot of people, both women and men in finding their self esteem back again Inherited…

This posting is about vision, and about intimacy and investing in family and DYI projects, but mostly, it’s about vision.

A little while ago, my brother and his wife were preparing to sell their family home after retiring and becoming empty nesters. He commented that while decluttering his home for the sale and impending move, the exercise was…

In books, movies and speaking to other travelers, I heard and read about the mountains of the Alps and the beauty of the surrounding scenery, but seeing it with my own eyes, truly took my breath away.

There are two different train routes from Northern Italy to Austria and Germany and both of them go through the Alps. But since we were limited by time in our expedition and wanted to explore Salzburg (Austria), we took the shorter route from Venice.

To be able to take the train…

Soothing music will not act as a barrier while meditating, all it does is clear up the mind and keeps it from becoming distracted. Once the head reaches that point, it ceases focusing on the music and begins interpreting the sounds that bring peace. But, the soothing effects of meditative music may vary from one individual for the other. Nonetheless, meditation in itself with or without music helps quiet the restless thoughts and controls its ever raging temper and anxiety.…

Dubai is making a bid to host the 2020 Expo. I think most Canadians of a relatively advanced age will remember our Expo in 1967 in Montreal. I was too young to recall the event itself but the iconic geodesic dome that was erected in Montreal remains a familiar landmark for all Canadians. Expos are designed to present the latest thinking and innovations that inspire those who visit and participate. Bill Gates was apparently inspired by such an event. In any case, Dubai is making a compelling…
