I'm from the Toronto area, and I'm often amazed by the local music talent. I've made many friends on the local music scene and get out to see them live when I can. I admire them so much for what they do. It ain't easy.
From 1988 to 1998 I had my own dj business. Personal favourites are Jack Russell & David Lee Roth; but you can't really 'pigeonhole' me into one kind of music. It all rocks. The biggest difference is the haircuts and the shoes. Get past that, and you just might find something you can connect with. I certainly have. I'm also a radio show host on CGCM Rock Radio, and admin for Jack Russell's Great White. Classic rock at heart, but also make time for the blues. Just sharing music I love. Life's too short not to enjoy your surroundings; so I surround myself with good friends and good (my opinion) music. Hope you find something here that 'speaks' to you.
Cheers!
