A Database of  Information and Videos

Recording Performances with a Cell Phone.

I'm a cinematographer... and it drives me crazy when I watch a video which was shot vertically with a phone.

I've almost given up trying to explain, why people should turn there phones horizontally.

Even some Canadian guitar companys are guilty of doing this when promoting their guitars.  

In the era Facebook the world has become somewhat visually illiterate.

Here's a meme I've made, which I post on occasion, when I think it might help.



I'm looking for a quality guitar, which needs restoring.

With some of my friends, we plan to repair, setup and replace the strings... so that it can be donated to the Guitars for Canadian Vets Program.

Ryan Cook and Terra Spencer

I spent a wonderful evening at the *Le Café Mariposa last night.   Ryan Cook and Terra Spencer from Nova Scotia were great!   I love their music, writing and humour…

There were many of their relatives and friends in the audience… I felt I was at a kitchen party in a small village on the coast of NS.

What can happen, if you don't humidify your guitar.

Owning an acoustic guitar shouldn't be a high maintenance endeavour, especially when armed with a little knowledge about humidity. See what happens when Bob Taylor speeds up the effects of low humidity on a new Taylor.

LMI Digital String Height Gauge

I'm in the midst of learning how to set up my own guitars with the help of experienced friends and luthiers.

It's already saved me money... and I find gaining the skill and knowledge exciting.


I just received a LMI string height gauge.  I find it simple to use... and beats the rulers I was using for accuracy.

• Digital display can be set to decimal or fractional inches and metric.

• Reset zero with a press of a button for precise readout.

• Hold feature freezes display for precise measurement.

• Accurate to 0.001"

(I'll post video of me using it in the future)

3rd Guitar Donation

Benoit Forget and myself bought a small body Segovia F07GN for his 3rd donation to the Guitars For Vets program.  Here are some photos of the guitar being setup. Technically it should play better than when it was new.  I found a military style strap which I thinks looks great.

The Opeongo... made by MacKenzie & Marr Guitars

I met John Marr (owner) yesterday and he showed me their Opeongo (OO small body acoustic).

I wasn't in the market for a new guitar... but couldn't leave his office without it.

I'll up date this post soon with more information and photos.
