Hi All,

Well, another year has come and gone and with it … my day job! I have given it some thought as to what I would do now. I have decided to pursue opportunities in the music business (teaching and playing) while keeping up with tech type stuff. I’ve always had an interest in the Graphics and Media fields so will look for opportunities there also.

Had a quiet New Year. Got together with a few friends and jammed. Sophie and the Shufflehounds has been rehearsing weekly as of late and has added a few new tunes as a result. KickbacK continues to rehearse every Wednesday. Each of the members of this band continue to challenge themselves on their individual instruments. Lots of fun!

Looking forward to doing more recording, (and mixing) this year.

Talk to you all again soon,

Ray

Hi All,

It’s been a few months since I updated. It has been a very busy time playing and now, teaching also. Sophie and the Shufflehounds are gigging and we had a couple of very successful gigs in the last couple of  months. In September we did a Breast Cancer benefit which was titled, Edmonton’s Women of Song featuring six of Edmonton’s top female vocalists. That was a lot of work … and a lot of fun. Three of the girls used the Shufflehounds for their backup band and three brought their own bands. The whole event started at 2:00 pm and ended up about 10:00 pm. Once again, my wife T was there helping out. I married a spectacular woman!

In October we did a gig in Peace River for Halloween. What a blast! The people were all dressed up and we had a full house. It was a good chance to try out the new(er) truck I bought. It’s a 2008 Tacoma and, as expected, it ran fine. Hoping to get the new website up and running by Christmas. Talk to you again before the end of the year!
