\ TO ETOBICOKE \ I didn’t know booking agent Charlie Spencer but a whole lot musicians from all over the place did and were very shocked and saddened by his unexpected passing in January.

For some reason Wednesdays have recently seen some new Blues events happening in TO’s central and west areas, and they’re featuring some major talents. For the past two years, of course, Wednesday evenings at Gate 403 on Roncesvalles Ave. have belonged to Juno-winning songwriter Julian Fauth since his return to action following a medical sabbatical…

\ TO DOWNTOWN \ Although I’ve sort of lost touch over the years with talented Blues-Rock singer-guitarist and Pop songwriter Michael Danckert, whom I’ve been writing about off and on for nearly 25 years now, I certainly remain a fan of his music.

\ TO EAST \ After spending several years mostly promoting the music of other songwriters, it’s great to see that Pop/Blues-Adult Contemporary songwriter Pete Otis has finally put some deserved focus back on his own creative output.

\ TO DOWNTOWN \ Although details of the precise nature of his current situation have proved a little hard to come by, it appears that much loved but seemingly star-crossed iconic Canadian Rock veteran Kelly Jay of Crowbar fame is once again in need of help from his fans and friends in the music community.…

\ TO WEST \ After four years in limbo, Bullseye Records of Canada founder and president Jaimie Vernon was last year finally able to rescue the archives of his company and motivated by that has dramatically re-entered the music scene.

He’s also a pretty fine instrumental Jazz composer, even…
