The end of Boys' Entrance?

Not sure at this point, but the show on Sept. 4th may be the final Boys' Entrance show. The show will be another duo show, just me and original Boy, Mike Ferro on guitar. It has been a year since the last show I played with Mike.It will be good to play with him again.

Brett has departed to work full-time on his Pink Sheep project, and we wish him the best. He is a fantastic musician.

So come out to hear these Boys' Entrance songs one more time on Saturday,Sept. 4th, at Red Line Tap in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago.We will go on at 11pm. Tickets are $5 at the door.

Thank You For Your Support,
Tim and the Boys

Mike Garsons take on McCartney's Yesterday


Mike Garson - Yesterday

Mike Garson | MySpace Music Videos

"David Bowie is Dead"- the song.

David Bowie is Dead c 2010 Tim Cain

David Jones lies in repose
On his chaise in his New York flat
A neural-jack clipped to his brain
The first such permanent connection
Of a comatose rock star and the Internet
On Bowienet again today
No Re’pondez, s’il vous plait
There’s nothing more to say, but
David Bowie is dead

His holographic self accompanies his wife
Down carpets red, and flashing lights
Collect his image pale and white
The transmissions are exhausting
So he requires a lot of rest
On Bowienet again today
No Re’pondez, s’il vous plait
There’s nothing more to say, but
David Bowie is dead

There’s been a lot of buzz
That the Spiders might regroup
If the programming is successful
Dave and Ronno’s holograms
Backed by Trevor, Woody and Mike
On Bowienet I read today
“Virtual Reality Tour” has been announced
The tour need never end, though
David Bowie is dead

Need I paint a vulgar picture?
One compilation disc too many
“An extra track and a tacky badge”
Though a tour seems a bit far fetched
Stranger things have happened
On Bowienet again today
The announcement finally made
“The Spiders Rise Again” though
David Bowie is Dead

Dark Days Past

Well Dear Readers, I feel my dark days have past. I had a few weeks of difficulty, but the help of my friend Brett, my partner Santos, and my mom's prayers have carried me through. The point dear reader, is not that these stormy periods will not come, it is also true that the storms will pass. If nothing else, I have learned that over and over in my life. This last episode simply reiterated the lesson once again.

Thanks you all for being a part of my life. It is a priviledge to share it with you.

Strange day

Yesterday was a strange day. It began with a foreboding and grief that David Bowie was dead. I have been grieving his disappearance from the music scene for some time. But over the past couple of weeks, I have literally felt as though a friend had died. I even have a song about it percolating around my brain. Not sure what this is all about. But I turned on the tv a couple of times to see if it was true. So I played old videos instead.
