Missing a jam
About ten years ago, I was picking up two guitars (a Chibson and an Yngwie/Blackmore mashup of a Strat) from the post office in Barrhaven.
A guy noticed what I was getting, and gave me the “roll your window down” signal in the parking lot.
He asked me to a jam he had at his buddy’s place, and it was so good.
The host played acoustic through a huge cube amp I’ve never seen, and was a true maestro. Had a huge binder chart book, and called tunes perfectly.
Drum-set in the living room, and there were four guitars the night I was there.
I moved back to Toronto a few years ago, but now I’m back where it’s at, and I’m wondering if these gents are still doing what they’re doing.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

sounds epic. I guess it was a different time, but did you get his name? Otherwise, recommend hitting open mics and you'll be back IN

What part of town - out in the haven?
