Hello Friends!
It's nice to be back in time for spring! We celebrate "not-winter" in style with music:

Paul Gellman Band
The Annex Live, 296 Brunswick Ave. (just south of Bloor)
Saturday April 10, 2010, 7 pm (Early!)

Paul Gellman - piano, guitar, violin, vocals
Dave McManus - bass
Shira Gellman - guitar, trombone, vocals
Les Hoffman - electric guitar
Ed Ham - drums, vocals

Dear Friends:

Please note: Toronto area campers...Paul Gellman and his Band continue to make mini "Reunions" possible. This will be my fourth trip from Buffalo to see and listen to Paul, Kawagama's current premier "live" entertainer and musician. The venue, Axis, at 3048 Dundas Street West, has great food and is cozy enough to let everyone feel part of the performance.

Hello friends!

For those that came to the Axis on March 29, thank you for joining us! It was really fun! Our band certainly enjoyed playing. We’ve been playing together for a while now so we’re comfortable with the material, and able to relax, play and jam together. That makes it even better!
Let’s do it again!

WHO: Paul Gellman Band with Dave McManus, Trevor Fentum, Richard Keelan, Joey Goldstein, and Lucy Carrick

WHAT: A Musical Celebration

WHERE: Axis Gallery and Grill 3048 Dundas St. W. (2 km west of Keele)

FYI...I've found and tested a better source for displaying video on the website....so, I edited my own slides over again, this time using Green Day's "Time of your life". Check out the full screen option...works well, I think.
If you would like to add your own videos to the site, email me at admin@campkawagama.com and I'll be happy to tell you how to go about it. I hope you enjoy the revision and that your new year is going well. That's all I've got for now...I'm out.

Ciao,
Jeff Hoffman

Saturday January 20th, 2008...oh, by the way, Happy New Year to any and every camper reading this new blog from me. This afternoon I had the great pleasure of entertaining Paul Gellman...who made the short (1 hour and 45 minute) journey from Toronto to Buffalo.
Unlike most Canadians who venture south to reap the benefits of your stronger dollar...quite an irony considering the history of our exchange rate (see the earlier forum entry from 2006)...Paul had come down on a personal matter, enticed by my offer to take him for some of Buffalo's major delicacy...chicken wings. Makes me laugh, just saying it...as if. Anyway, Cole's Restaurant, perhaps, our most famous watering hole, provided the perfect, sun-filled backdrop for a few hours of tet-a-tet and laughs...not to mention a couple of their smooth drafts. The time passed all too quickly...and it was over, but not before I surfed Paul around some of my websites and pointed out to him one of Buffalo's five (that's right five) Frank Lloyd Wright houses that he had unknowingly parked across from.

A good idea has come via email from Arnie Shoichet. In it he suggested that many people who read the News link on the main menu...and specifically, his information regarding both his CD, Such Good A Time and new Reunion single, Same Old Tune, are not reading the entire article.

The website previews only the first three paragraphs...so, if the story is longer, you may not realize it until you click the "read more" text link at the bottom. Please make sure that you do so, thus ending any speculation as to whether you read the entire article or not. I recommend clicking the link automatically to begin with.
