Gather in close, and let me tell you ’bout CORIN RAYMOND'S Paper Nickels.

Corin Raymond, who just made his masterpiece, weighing in at 0.7 lbs, containing 144 pages, 57 pictures, 2 disks and the words and chords to 20 songs, has this to say about his Toronto album release:. 
"Toronto friends, we’ll see you next week. I’d like to stress that the two shows, on Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd, are totally different. Aside from the fact that Kim Beggs (Whitehorse, YK) is opening the Tuesday and Wax Mannequin (Hamilton, ON) the Wednesday, me and The Sundowners are doing completely different shows the two nights, and doing songs that even the regulars at The Cameron House aren’t used to hearing. Each night we will perform one of the albums and an assortment of surprises. You’ve been warned."

5:00  Reading:  Sonnets To Orpheus / 1 -  by Rainer Maria Rilke

Tree arising! O pure ascendance!
Orpheus Sings! Towering tree within the ear!
Everywhere stillness, yet in this abeyance:
seeds of change and new beginnings near.

Creatures of silence emerged from the clear
unfettered forest, from dens, from lairs.
Not from shyness, this silence of theirs;
nor from any hint of fear,
simply from listening. 

Brutal shriek and roar
dwindled in their hearts. Where stood a mere
hut to house the passions of the ear,

constructed of longing darkly drear,
haphazardly wrought from front to rear,
you built them a temple at listening's core.

And a Happening New Year (already!)

Multiple amazing artists and song-mongers are massing on Queen Street West on Sunday afternoons in the  coming month. South side corner just inside the eastern edge of Parkdale. Expect collabos, photo ops and historically unprecedented jams.

Seems to be spreading north too...
