I would like to introduce a new addition to our family. DUKE! Duke is a 5 year old Blue Tick Coon Hound that we've had for a little more than a day. When Lilly and I originally considered getting a dog, we were thinking along the lines of Golden Retriever or a Lab, then we met Duke. He is fitting in nicely with our lifestyle...the adventure continues....

I just left the Britannia Pub around an hour and a half ago. That's when a good fellow wearing a bright red shirt took this picture. It's a picture of me with Crystal (left) and Brandy (right). These are two of my buddies from the days of when I used to perform every Tuesday night at the Tickled Toad. I was so happy to see them. Brandy is now a mother, and so I wish her Happy Mother's Day.

powered by Hipcast.com Last night I had a conversation with Laurie from Nashville. I met her & her friends Judy & Meryl when I was performing @ The Britannia Pub & Grill in Thornhill.

It was Saturday 27 March, Earth Hour 2010. The night that we experieced at the Wolf & Firkin all began with me and Nate and Lance at the bar.....that was all we had so far....They lit candles on the tables in preperation for the darkness that was about to descend upon the city in recognition of Earth Hour. And so for one hour I played instrumental guitar. Nate kept the lights low all night and

When I spoke with him, he mostly talked about how important his grand kids and children were in his life. The night was filled with celebration for his son, Harry. I am always so impressed when I see such close knit families getting together to

Well it's Irish Day again. That's when my name changes to Augy 'O' G (Billy thought that one up). It never fails at Billy's pub (Willie Stouts-Aka Phoenix & Firkin). St. Paddy's Day is always a blast....Cheers!

So glad to have met these good spirited folks from Nova Scotia. If you ever visit Nova Scotia be sure to pop in to their pub, The Mug & Anchor Pub, 643 Main Street, Mahone Bay. Don't forget to say hello to Francene and Ron (Happy Birthday Ron). Nick and Erin will also be there to make certain you have a great time....the adventure continues...

A great big thanks to all my fans who come out and see me! Of course I enjoy doing covers of standard pub favorites, but also have a great time performing my original work as a singer-songwriter such as "Slagtown". Click onto the audio post below to hear Slagtown. Next time you're in feel free to request it. Keep all the requests coming! If I know em I'll do em. Cheers!!

St. Patricks day is just around the corner foks. Year before last at Billy's (now "Willie Stouts") we had a wild time shooting the BLarney and singing some fine Irish tunes. Have a listen to some raw sounds from an authentic Irish Pub celebration featuring the sounds of Augy'O'G! If this sounds like your cup of tea (or in this case, Irish Whiskey) come join me this year for some uproarious

There's still time to come and hang out on Elm Street tonight. All the restaurants and businesses have their individual offerings, and there are some impressive ice sculptures. The street is essentially blocked off until around 9 PM. After that you can pop into the Wolf & Firkin, where I will be performing....the adventure continues...

Had fun last night at Willie Stouts. These pictures show some of the happenings as well as a glimpse at the new and improved changes to the pub. One highlight of the evening happened when Christina, who was with her sister and parents came up to sing Obladi Oblada by the Beatles (Her and her sister have a band called Fallen Angels). There's also a pic of Mike and me. Mike is a legit Irish

I had this video sent to me from a friend at KC McFly's. I tried to rotate it right side up but for some reason I always lose the audio...it's a mystery...Well if you tilt your head sideways what you see is the end of the night performance at KC McFLY's taken to the streets of North York & Scarborough.

When the night began I thought we were off to a slow start, but Sue kept her hands in clap mode. Soon
