1. Hey Tom,
   I live in NYC. Hope you make it down here sometime soon. I perform live a lot here. Anyway, if I do make it back to Canada, I will definitely look you up. Thanks for all the kind words!

3. So fucking cool. I love it. Everybody should pursue their interests even if they have to work a job separately.

4. I really enjoyed your interview with Devilz Speciez. I started doing a Reggae podcast this year, even though I am working 2 jobs, 60 hours per week. My wife encouraged me to follow my creative outlet, because she knew how much I had enjoyed college radio in the 80’s and 90’s. Now my oldest son, age 23, is pursuing a writing career while working full-time at a grocery store. He works nights, and writes comic book reviews, blogs, short stories, and is working on some ideas for novels. It makes me so proud to see him following what he loves, not just following the almighty dollar. It sounds like both of you have the same mindset. Doing what you love, and believe in, is the best reward. Keep following the dream!
