reyar, i appreciate your kind words about a potential audience for any Livonia reunion but that would realistically be around 4 people and a stray cat. Then again that would be more than an audience i once played to at the Youth Park which consisted of a sole dustbin. still, as i've always mentioned to plainsman, if everyone's up for a jam or two, count me in! anyone know where the elusive Amy is?
on another note, it would be great fun to have a gig featuring long broken up bands...I'd love to see bands like Pagans/Starr, Padres, Jade Adversaries, Clothespeg, Sugarflies, Sideshow Judy, Sherene's Closet, Ordinary People etc. Just for old times' sake!
as a side note...at the Rock For Wayne gig while i was being reduced to fanboy status watching Humpback Oak in awe i couldn't help but notice the majority of the crowd being kinda subdued and dare i say it, uninterested. it got me thinking, maybe music has really changed alot and everyone's moved on...everyone's just focused on the now, *my* band, *my* peers, *my* generation etc. music naturally appeals to the young and young at heart and if i were 18 i doubt watching thirtysomethings play songs from another era would interest me too much.
never thought i'd say this and i am stating the obvious, but the age group i'm in, we're kinda over the hill and far away. maybe all we're cut out for is offering sagely if slightly cynical rocking-chair advice (eg "in my time sonny..."). so make the most of it and enjoy the ride...all you young 'uns reading this and laughing...remember, it'll happen to you too one day!
