Jon Regen: Tour Dates
I had a very nice email from Jon Regen the other day, thanking me for including his track ‘Finding My Way Back To Me’ in the recent post ‘TRIGGER: Back’.You might recall I kind of took a shine to Jon’s album “Let It Go” when I first discovered it after a couple of tracks were posted on Ick Music back in April. Here’s what I wrote in the Highlight of The Week post back then…
“Ick Music just got a big fat 10 on my scorecard! Two tracks from an artist called Jon Regen are posted as a review of his 2007 album “Let It Go”. Their description of this album reads: “…Let it Go is one of those records. There is something to it that just feels like home.” Home??? Hell, I’ve got my pipe and slippers out here!!! This is just what the doctor ordered for a nice relaxing evening after a long hard day. Just added this one to my shopping cart at CD Baby!…”
For those unfamiliar with his work, take a listen to the track I recently posted or head on over to his Webiste [here] or his Myspace [here].

TRIGGER: Child
Where did the last 17 (or so) years go?
I’ve been sorting out the photo’s I took on my recent holiday…adding descriptions, cropping here and there and the odd spot of light enhancement….
And as always I got sidetracked and found myself looking back on some old shots of the kids at various stages through their lives so far.
I suddenly realised that the ‘kids’ are not the little dependant beings they were…they’re young adults with strong views and opinions of their own. Able to do pretty much anything an adult can (and probably a lot better than I can).
But to me they will always be the little girl and boy who came into my life and brought a whole new meaning to it….and emptied my bank account (repeatedly) - but that’s another story.
So the trigger is….
