This has just been a difficult week for concerts for me. This morning, I had big plans to wake up and write a nice long review about The Parlor Mob, who was supposed to be playing the 'shoe last night in support of their new album, Dogs. Instead, yesterday, I saw this link:

In consolation, I sat at home listening to classic rock and finishing off the better part of a bottle of red wine to myself. I don't exactly know what, but reading that last sentence again really outlines me as a strange cat.
It was upon my awakening this morning that swift-kick-to-the-nards number 2 came up. I received an email from none other than Mr. Jordan Cook himself, thanking me for my kind words from NXNE and hoping I could make it to his show this Friday, Oct. 14 at The Garrison. I'd actually seen this FB event the day before, but hoping it was somehow in error, since I knew I would be in Montreal all weekend.
That said, Jordan, I love you... but these days, what's waiting in Montreal for me has got you beat. ;-)
Still, this is my call out to all you Torontonians to come out and support my fellow prairie boy as he shreds up the stage on Friday night. I don't make this call as a favour to him, but to you. If you have not seen Jordan live, you will be astounded by this virtuoso who will undoubtedly bring the house down with his frantic flicks of a guitar string (6 of 'em to be exact). Wish I could be there, but some things just take priority.
