On The Road Again
Our Roving Reporter is on the road again, this time on a tour of the Bellevue Mine in southern Alberta where miners lost their lives in an explosion back in 1920. From top, gearing up with safety equipment, the entrance to the mine and all you can see with your helmet light when you first enter the shaft.

Drew Hazlett (Guitar,vocals)
Robert Fernandez (Keyboards,vocals) and
Jordan Dempster (Drums)
Robert - began studying piano at the age of eight and later joined the music conservatory in his native Hamburg - Germany. It was here, where he first was “allowed” to experiment with blues, jamming and writing music that was not prescribed. His fascination grew with jazzy cords and rhythms. Robert joined his first project in 81’, playing the keyboards in a church band that played contemporary Christian rock. Although he enjoyed a variety of styles, playing Rock was not Robert's passion. He left the group in 85’ and formed a project (Queen Sensitive, later Count Up) with fellow band members who shared an interest in jazz-funk, fusion and R&B. Robert's greatest influences from those years included Sade, Earth Wind & Fire, Kool and the Gang, Al Jarreau and keyboarders like George Duke, Mike Lindup (Level 42), Nigel Wright and Bill Sharpe (Shakatak) and David Paich and Steve Porcaro (Toto). The band was a staple in the local Hamburg (Germany) music scene, the “greatest” moment was a gig the band played at the Grosse Freiheit 36, the former Star Club where the Beatles where discovered in 62’. In 1991 Robert packed his instruments up for a successful business career which moved him to Munich and Madrid amongst other places. In the winter of 2008, Robert met the renowned Canadian guitar player Gordon Matthews. Gord invited Robert and his “long forgotten” keyboards to a jam at LB’s Pub in St. Albert. It was here, where Robert later met Mark Ammar, drummer, musician and promoter in the local St. Albert scene. Mark contacted Robert and introduced him to Drew Hazlett (guitar) and the Oil City Sound Machine was born. The group is now an established force in the corporate booking scene in Alberta playing your favorite Top 40 hits with true musicians heart and soul.
Drew is a local guitarist who dabbles in many style's from jazz to pop or progressive rock and fusion. Past work with the band Octane and current work with bands Maple Tea and Oil City Sound Machine keeps Drew very busy playing major rooms in and around Edmonton. Simon Fisk was very impressed with Drew when I hired Drew on as a sideman jazz guitarist at the Blind Pig in 2005 and again at LB's for a second show with Mr. Fisk. Drew lights it up live and has a great sense for volume and effect use. He has become a regular face on LB's stage coming in with The Oil City Sound Machine a few times a year and through his appearances at our Tuesday night Moosehead/barsnbands open stage. Great to have Drew back in with his band mates for this one.
Jordan - I started seeing Jordan drum back in our Castlerock days and then more so at Rusty Reed's house of blues. As a great drummer he caught my attention immediately and I have been keeping a close eye and ear on his play style ever since. Jordan's style and attack on the kit is very polished and schooled. He is very dedicated to his craft and his studies sure show whether he is playing blues, jazz or cover pop tunes. Great feel and a great volume for the room behind the kit. Jordan is a graduate from Malaspina College Jazz Program, and was the assistant Musical Director for Carnival Cruise Lines Show Band. He played with Juno nominee Sean Hogan, backing up Chicago great Sam Cockerell and Wes Mackie, and performed in opening acts for George Jones and Trooper. It is great to catch him play at local jams with great blues artists and seeing him with The Oil City Sound Machine, or Maple Tea, is quite a treat listening to what a polished drummer can do for a band playing covers.

It Happened This Week
21/05/2013 03:53
Worried the girl might become pregnant and adversely impact the family's status, she consulted the family doctor.
The doctor told her that teenagers today were very willful and any attempt to stop the girl would probably result in rebellion. He then told her to arrange for her daughter to be put on birth control and until then, talk to her and give her a box of condoms.
Later that evening, as her daughter was preparing for a date, the mother told her about the situation and handed her a box of condoms.
The girl burst out laughing and reached over to hug her mother, saying,
'Oh Mom! You don't have to worry about that! I'm dating Susan!'

Witches Banned Flying Broomsticks Higher Than 150 Meters
21/05/2013 03:53
In Swaziland, witches are forbidden to fly their broomsticks higher than 150 meters, and if they do, they are subject to arrest and a fine of R500 000 ($55,000 USD).
Though it seems like a joke, witchcraft in the African country is taken seriously.
No, really!
