Your comments and / or questions:
What is your name? Jeffrey Woolhouse
How did you locate our site? You sent a CD to a Public Radio
Station in Melbourne (Australia) Which I played on my program.
Your comments and / or questions: Pat Carey and The Jazz Navigators.
I have enjoyed your Cd "Starlight
" and had positive reactions form a few listeners who took the the
trouble to call in. It also gained approval from my major jazz critic (
my son ) who is a profesional Jazz Piano player ( Jeremy Woolhouse).
I am taking a break from broadcasting for a while, but maybe one day
when you are touring to Australia you will come and play at my monthly
Surrey Music Cafe ... www.surreymusic.com
What is your name? Colin Cowley
How did you locate our site? Michael Fonfara gave me the url
when I saw him at Hugh's Room with Danny Brooks.
Your comments and / or questions: I've been a fan of Michael's
for a dozen or so years now, beginning with a gig where I hired Chuck Jackson
& the All Stars to play at Toronto Humber Yacht Club. It's easy to
tell Michael is an accomplished player but I had no idea how much depth
his resume had until I checked out this site.
What is your name? Brian Turner from Inuvik, NWT
How did you locate our site? I found your site while listening
to Blue Icewater radio. (an incredible blues station)
Your comments and / or questions: Your site looks great for
collecting good blues/jazz. Keep on doin!
What is your name? David Cross
How did you locate our site? My good friend and awesome bassist,
Jack Tasse told me about you.
Your comments and / or questions: Hi, I also posted an ad in
your wanted section. Looking for gigs as a guitarist (see ad for
details). This is a great site, guys! really like it. There is a
lot of content, and if you cant find good live music in Toronto on this
site, then there is something wrong. :-) The newsletter is a great idea
as well.

What is your name? Dan Embleton, South Shelds, England.
How did you locate our site? A serendipitous event really, just
opened up "Pirate Radio" and fell down the stairs and here I am.
Your comments and / or questions: It's a pleasant surprise to
find a sanctury from all that modern inane garbage they call music.
What is your name? Hersh Levy
Your comments and / or questions: My name is Hersh Levy from
Oakville, Ontario. I am a photographer and took pictures of Larisa
Renee during the Oakville Jazz Festival. She gave me her e-mail address
as well as the web site. It would be nice to hear more music and
good songs from your site. Please keep me posted.
What is your name? Bryan Anthony (Jinju Music Productions, Plantagenet,
Ontario) bryan.claremont@sympatico.ca
How did you locate our site? Through Maplepost Listing
Your comments and / or questions: What would you have to say
in regards to much of the music being made and played (on the radio and
such) today? What should the rest of us do, who don't quite agree with
music that is based on nothing more than beats, and promotes either violence
or sex, or a combination of both, and has nothing uplifting to offer listeners?
Should a musician compromise a particular vision of his or her own just
to "make it" in a profession that often shuns real creativity while rewarding
those who, as put by one significant A&R Professional in the industry,
"churn out nothing more than crap that we keep buying on a week to week
basis"? What would you say to those who want to get back to the basiscs
of good songwriting but may find themselves a bit discouraged when faced
with the fact that it would appear that the industry would indeed prefer
to reward and promote crap whileshunning and ignoring whatever good
might come out of those doing what they do in the spirit of real creativity?
Would you, or would you not, agree that, perhaps, it might be time for
a real musical revolution that would unleash a musical virus upon the world
that will, in turn, get us all to come to our senses and realize the fact
that, maybe, we are going a bit too far in regards to that which we might
refer to as "progress", and may end up suffering consequences as a result,
as if wee are not suffering enough as it is?
What is your name? "Doc" from Kenora

What is your name? Buzz Thompson
Your comments and / or questions: Thank you for putting the
"Checkmates" story together.. Some time between 63 & 65 I saw Jon &
Lee & the Checkmates in Peterborough, @ the Lion's Center &
it changed my life. I think they did "Please Please ect." I
think, that's when I discovered, James Brown. After doing that all
the English stuff sounded like bubblegumpussycuteboycrap. When I
first started playing music in 62 & 63 accept for Lonnie Mac you tried
to copy the Hawks or you played surfin music. Well, for years & years
I tried to play "soul music " or" R&B"., because I had also been
influenced by George Olliver, Mandala ect. The funny thing about my story
is that I ended up playing guitar for Ronnie Hawkins around 1990,
when I was 40 years old. & have been the only (Brent Baily comes close)
Hawk to play 14 years & only miss one gig. I am aimost as old as Ronnie
was, when I met him. He had a hard time believeing that but it's true..
PS When I first saw the Checkmates, I guess they were sweating
&
it was going in they're eyes but I thought they were crying so I guess
I like the "Commitments" when they were watching James Brown on TV. Anyway,
Thanks for spreading the word I'll try & do my part. I
have 2 CD's .. One is mostly cover tunes & the other is all originals,
I'll try & get them to you.

What is your name? Dave Watkins from British Columbia
How did you locate our site? Jimmy Bowskill's web
page has Iridescent's link, which I clicked on--I was searching out his
CD "Old Soul" to buy.
Your comments and / or questions: I am only now, after 61 years,
getting around to jazz and the blues and find I enjoy it, a lot.
I wish you every success with what you are doing.

What is your name? Joanne Casson, from Manchester,
U.K
How did you locate our site? I found this on the
internet whilst trawling for other Cassons.
Your comments and / or questions: I was intrigued as you have
the same name as my cousin, uncle and grandfather (a pattern emerges eh?)
and wanted to see what it was about, as no-one in my family can play a
paper and comb never mind a proper instrument. On that note, I will
endeavour to have a listen to some of the bands noted (my husband who is
not a Casson-poor boy) will be interested as he likes RnB (not the crap
which purports to be today, but the old stuff with lots of sleazy guitars
and a drum beat to die for) Good Luck with the rest of your career!
===================================
WEBMASTER'S NOTE - JIM CASSON IS THE DRUMMER FOR THE
STICKMEN AND VARIOUS OTHER IRIDESCENT MUSIC ARTISTS, AND ALTHOUGH SOME
MAY INSIST THAT DRUMS ARE NO MORE A PROPER INSTRUMENT THAN A PAPER AND
COMB, HE STILL LISTS THAT AS HIS OCCUPATION ON HIS TAXES!

What is your name? Jane Muyres
How did you locate our site? You sent it to me -
thanks!
Your comments and / or questions: I'm just an avid
fan of the blues. I am a regular at the Liquid Lounge in Brantford
on Saturday afternoons. Mike Fitzpatrick on drums, Dennis on bass
and Larry Goodhand on lead guitar always have a different special guest
musician each week. This makes for a wonderful time each week for
me - one I rarely miss.

What is your name? David Jobling
Your comments and / or questions: Starlight featuring Pat Carey's
Jazz Navigators is a musical must for jazz loving souls. A great album
with vibrant and deeply emotive music geared towards lifting your spirits
and making you feel part of a loved universe. Rare as it is, this
is one of those albums that generate more and more good vibe each time
one listens to it. Keep up the great work and all the very best luck in
the future.

What is your name? Lynn Wells
Your comments and / or questions: Hi, Iridescent Music - I'm
Lynn Wells, presenter of a program 'Focus on Jazz' on West Gippsland Community
Radio 3BBR-FM. I'm listening to Pat Carey's 'Starlight' while I write this,
and enjoying it very much. That's how I found the contact. I will certainly
be playing tracks from this CD on the show - it should put listeners in
a romantic mood. I hope they take advantage of it!

What is your name? Mardy Lucier-Porte
How did you locate our site? Vito Rezza
Your comments and / or questions: Mike Siracusa,
had been conducting some jazz work shops a few years back at "Rumble Fish
Rehearsal Studios" in Mississauga, Canada 1995/96. I attended a few work
shops thanks greatly to my former drummer Mr. Nick Chiarore of "Raindance".
I participated and learned some extraordinary, memorable, harmonic guitar
technics and unbelievably, wild odd time signatures through Mr. Siracusa.
However, I do credit Nick for introducing me to different signatures to
write and compose songs in prior to that in 1994. However, Mike was psycho,
psycho odd time mad. I loved it and I took it very seriously through the
pure love of music, laughter and fun. The sessions were very well conducted
in the manner of, leave your ego at the door, lets get "red faced" embarrassed
like an over ripen tomato" and make lots of mistakes. Then, when you have
accomplished that. You can literally walk away at the end of the night
and think to yourself. Man, was that ever a "GREAT" learning experience.
I still have to write in the least, one song out of every 5 or 6 that are
in an odd time signature. Thank-you greatly for allowing me the opportunity
Mr. Siracusa.
Sincerely A Colleague.
Mardy Lucier-Porte.

WEBMASTER'S NOTE - MIKE SIRACUSA IS THE DRUMMER FOR THE
ROBBIE ROX RUDE BAND

What is your name? Anthony Del Maestro
How did you locate our site? Directed to site by
partner/owner.
Your comments and / or questions: I like the background
color. Not only is it attractive and pleasing aesthetically, it also is
easy on the eyes. The layout is simple and easy to follow, and access.
I like the mission statement. But, and there's always a but, I know and
I'm sorry...but, I feel that in your explanation of "Iridescence" you could
have focused less on describing who you are not and speak more of the "gems"
as those who you represent. All in all, I'm impressed by the site. I feel
it's inviting and there's a sense of honourability in the company. Not
something that is easy to find in the music business. Good Luck.
