Subject: RE: BS: Candian Bands and Us Jobs
Hi Guest,

I am not concerned about talent here. As far as bands go we are apples and oranges. They are Celtic Rock and we are the Clancy Brothers with drums. We work often enough to make us happy. And aside from what you may have misunderstood from my post, I like the Bhoys and I appreciate their talent. My concern isn't whether or not they should be working on any side of the border they wish. My wonder was and still is if the disparity in the two currencies doesn't make it more advantageous business arrangement to work this side of the border and take the US money back home. And if in the process they are limiting the work of local bands. Thats all. I appreciate that they are a very talented group. Much more than competant as I said in a previous post. And they are tireless promoters of the skill they have and the music they play. Their drummer amazes me with what he does. I probably should have never mentioned a name and not engendered hard feelings anywhere. This could very well be The Kitchener Kut-Ups or The Toronto Torpedoes for all I care. The question would still have been valid. If I have offended any one in the Glengarry Bhoys I am sorry. It was never my intent.

Regards
